Mommytary Madness: BIRTH Day Advice
http://mommytarymadness.blogspot.com/2014/01/birth-day-advice.html
Sunday, January 19, 2014. Seven years ago today I became a mother. Sure I had endured a full pregnancy and all of the “fun” that goes with it, but on this day seven years ago I no longer was just a host to the unborn. At the request (clears throat…demands) of my obgyn my son was evicted from the womb and he grudgingly joined this world at 10:38 am on January 19. I was ill prepared for this moment as I was ill prepared for the majority of the moments of the pregnancy/my life leading up to it. I have also ...

Mommytary Madness: More Pet Peeves and Great Coincidences
http://mommytarymadness.blogspot.com/2014/10/more-pet-peeves-and-great-coincidences.html
Wednesday, October 15, 2014. More Pet Peeves and Great Coincidences. This quote of course, immediately redirected my annoyance from that of the breastfeeding in public issue to that of homophones (i.e., a word that is pronounced the same as another word but differs in meaning and spelling). Flour/flower, be/bee, sun/son, pray/prey, to/too/two are just a few examples. Aloud: audible, not silently. Allowed: (past tense of allow) to let happen, to permit. The man turned left and left his neighborhood. Subsc...

http://mommytarymadness.blogspot.com/2013/08/superman-was-adopted.html
Thursday, August 22, 2013. So you want a baby? She responds with an uncomfortable, stifled laugh. And thus, our journey begins. We are lucky. Our journey does not begin with sorrow or pain. It does not begin with years trying to conceive or thousands (hundreds of thousands? Of dollars down the drain. In fact our journey begins with a happy, healthy family of four - or seven if you count those fuzzy things that sprawl around the house. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Mommytary Madness: Pet Peeves
http://mommytarymadness.blogspot.com/2014/10/pet-peeves.html
Wednesday, October 1, 2014. 8220;Ect” is NOT an appropriate abbreviation for the Latin expression “et cetera”. The appropriate abbreviation is “etc.”—do you see how those letters are in the same order as the words are spelled? That should be your first hint that “ect” is incorrect. Even with accepted alternate spellings: etcetera, et caetera, et coetera this point is still valid. Also, just as a reminder, it is not pronounced “excetera”. Contrary to the popular misuse of this word, it does not imply that...

http://mommytarymadness.blogspot.com/2014/09/what-is-real.html
Sunday, September 7, 2014. 8220;Real isn’t how you are made,” said the Skin Horse. 8220;It’s a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real.”. Sometimes," said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. When you are Real you don't mind being hurt.". Does it happen all at once, like being wound up," he asked, "or bit by bit? 8220;It doesn’t happen all at once,” said the Skin Horse.

http://mommytarymadness.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 23, 2014. So let me tell you a little about us (perhaps this should have been my first post, but I definitely have developed some excellent procrastination skills throughout my life):. So, yes, I am far from perfect. I know this wholeheartedly but what matters to me is that I try and I think every day I become a little more of who I really want to be. Wednesday, October 15, 2014. More Pet Peeves and Great Coincidences. Aloud: audible, not silently. Homographs are words that are spelled ...

Mommytary Madness: September 2012
http://mommytarymadness.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 11, 2012. I love my kids the mostest. Yes, that's right.the mostest. I know, you think "mostest" is not a real word, but in this house, it is! I do voices when I read them stories, even when it is the same story EVERY NIGHT! 1) Life is not fair! Okay I said it. My mother said it to me and I am saying it to you. Get used to it because there is little you can do about it. 3) Love with all of your heart! 5) Anything that you do, give 200%. Beat others at their own game. Be awesome! 12) En...
