So I voted.

I did my civic duty.

Exercised my right.

Which is the only exercising I have done all week.  It was exhausting, so I'm counting it.  Walking from the car, maneuvering out of the way of all the cottonheads, making sure the boys aren't sitting at the feet of the person next to me .... phew ... I need to lay down.

And while I was looking over my ballot, voting for the lesser of a few evils, I…

We just came out of Hurricane Sandy here on the East Coast.  We had some nasty winds and lots of rain but our family came out of it very lucky and quite unscathed.  I can't even begin to imagine what those poor people in NY and NJ are going through right now.  The photos are almost unbelievable.…

I'm a Soccer Mom now.

I know, it's awesome, right?  I can go out and get that soccer ball decal that goes on the back of my SUV, right?…

When did I become that parent?

Before I had kids, I would SOOOO judge other parents.

I know, it's completely shocking, right?

I mean, I'm not at all judgmental, am I?  (And don't think you have me fooled, I am sure some of you just said, "yah, and a bitch".  We know each other so well, don't we?)

I'd see the screaming kids in the store and be like, "OK, nowis when you…

So I have 2 kittens.

Milo and Bella.

They're pretty cute.

Brother and sister.

Both a beautiful smokey gray.

SOMEONE just had to have them both.

"C'mon, how can we separate them?"

"They're brother and sister!"

"They 're twins, how can we not take them both?"

Blah, blah, blah.....

Just what I need, 2 more living things to take care of.

Who do you think it was, begging for 2 kittens?

Yup.

You guessed it.

Me.

I…

know, I know....don't be shocked.

It's me.  Your bitchy friendly  Mommy blogger here.

I know, I know, who am I to just appear out of nowhere after walking out on you so many months ago?  I mean, you were hurt.  Confused.  I get it, baby.  I'm sorry.  But I'm here now.

Even my computer gave me a hard time about logging back onto my Blog site.  It was all like, "Oh no you didn't.....you can't just log in here and start typing away like you've been typing over the…

So I had originally written…

I haven't sounded off on the whole Karen Klein issue yet.  You know her, she's the 68 year old bus monitor in New York who was mercilessly hazed by a bunch of punk little assholes 4 seventh graders, while at work.  …

know, you're probably pretty sick of my Funnies, huh?  Too bad, because they make me laugh my ass off and I enjoy them.  And you could use a laugh too, who are you kidding?  Besides, now it's the weekend ... you should be really happy. And what better way to start your weekend, than enjoying my funnies?…

July 4th is coming up.  We typically go away for that week.  We spend it by the beach, which is fabulous, especially because I am grooming my kids to love the beach as much as I do. Here's what I'm looking forward to!

Doing 14…

STAR Magazine just had an issue with their "report card" for Best and Worst Moms.  I immediately wondered who was on their list, as they are a widely respected literary publication on  Parenting.  I mean, who wouldn't believe everything they say?  I mean, it's not like it's The Enquirer.....





I will admit right now, I am basing this post on the cover alone, so please forgive me…

I don't know about you, but I can use a few laughs this week.  I have to admit, I got a lot of these funnies from my friend Denise over…

I want to set a scene for you.  Sit back and get comfortable.

Imagine an adorable little 8 year old boy.  Freckles.  Big grin, ear to ear, showing the front tooth that's missing.  He's wearing a light blue polo shirt and jean shorts from the GAP.  He's got a big square package in his hands, almost too big for him to carry.  It's wrapped in shiny blue paper with robots on it.  He's running into a building with his friends.  He sits down at a table with Transformer plates and…

I can't believe I forgot to write about this, because as it was happening, I was thinking, the title of this post will be "Back Off My Bouncy House, Bitch". But I must have forgotten about it, because when I saw this woman running yesterday (and really, who runs anymore? It's so uncool) I thought "Oh there's Miss Bouncy Bitch, I forgot to write about her."  See, it doesn't pay to run.

So we had a Memorial Day…

Happy Friday everyone!  We made it!  I thought everyone could use a little funny on Friday, so here I've decided I'm going to…

I started getting all sentimental as I ended my post about friendship after kids.  I really am lucky to have some fantastic friends.  Many of my girlfriends are ones I've had since I was young, and others I've met along the way.  And while we've all become busy and wrapped up in our own lives, we still stay in touch as much as possible and try to be there for each other when it matters most.…

It's definitely not just a Mom of Twins thing.



I know it's not just a Mom thing.



And I'm sure it's not even just a girl thing.

But today I found myself…

I had a pretty long conversation with some work friends today about life after kids.  We all know things change, and I could get into it all right here, but we'll go ahead and space it out a bit in the interest of time and carpal tunnel syndrome.  But what we were…

So I took a little vaca.  No, not to Fiji or Tahiti, although that is my dream.  I want to sleep in one of those over the water bungalows, where you  ... you know, the one that Kris Humphries threw Kim Kardashian off of, that made her cry like a baby, because she lost $15,000 earrings when her face slammed against the water ....what was I saying?…

So today is the ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY of this little ol' blog of mine.  I know, I can't believe it either!  Oh, you were saying that you can't believe you've been reading my rants for that long, and how you can't believe you will never be able to get that time of your life back.  Oh well!



While I have another post for you today, I thought my VERY first post, might be an appropriate way to start the day.…
