I even failed to post on Mother’s Day, which I suppose in the Mommy Blog world, is some kind of faux pas. But I don’t have much to rant, whine and complain about… I’ve been in too good a mood. I had the ... http://crankymommy.com/?p=289 When I was a little kid most of my nicknames didn’t stick long. A couple of friends called me Kir, but not many.

As surgery goes, it was pretty minor, but I’m of the opinion that any kind of surgery is not minor. I have no idea how these people get elective surgeries like nose jobs and boob jobs! It’s amazing what they can ... http://crankymommy.com/?p=288 Yesterday and today my son, for the first time in many months, has had a little pooping-on-the-potty success. I’d gone to the toy store to get some “rewards” and all I can say is, nothing like bribery to get you somewhere. So, today he got his “reward”.

I don’t remember the reason they gave for this fact, however I believe it to be true. For the wife’s goal in life is to keep her race horse in top condition ... http://crankymommy.com/?p=282 Why blog and stuff, when you can waste time just popping balloons. It’s a great stress reliever, and an incredible waste of time, and somewhat addictive. And something to do when you don’t feel like writing, painting, or… thinking. http://crankymommy.com/?p=281 …And Mom, also known as the Easter Bunny, is too cheap thinks it is ridiculous to spend $1.50 on a tiny bag of pastel colored shredded paper Easter basket grass so she is cutting up construction paper to make grass with. After all, he is just 4! I bought my Easter ... http://crankymommy.com/?p=280 So I’m back. It was nice to take a break. Seriously, I am thinking of giving it up.
