I’m spontaneously creating the “best fit blog subtitle” classification because Amy’s blog subtitle made me laugh and laugh. I’m still chuckling.
Check out Does this font make me look fat? A blog dedicated to the eradication of my ass.
Oh, and the content is good, too.

First, let me just say that my fantasies have changed since I became a mother.
My top three fantasies now:
Have all the kids be old enough for Sunday School so I can participate in services without whispering “stop that…be still….be quiet…shhhhhHHHHHH!” the whole way through. I’m sure that some other people at our church have that [...]

Well, my weekend experiment is working fabulously! Just had to post a quick note.

Calgon, take me away!
If only I had gotten some Calgon. Instead I went to Wendy’s. Ugh.

I experienced Nirvana today.
After a week of little caffeine and only one or two Diet Cokes, I had a Crystal Light Focus.
For, er, medicinal reasons. Really.
What? You’re not buying that?
I was jazzed.
I was flying.
I was buzzed.
(I was not exactly focused. Unless you call working on 57 things at once focused. I did get a lot [...]

I came home.
My darling husband had fed and bathed the kids and gotten them in their ‘jamas.
Ah. A relaxing night.
But then…
One kid dropped a full water pitcher on the floor and it broke. While I was on the phone.

Then the toilet overflowed. After my darling husband [...]

Forget BMI. What’s your PBII (Personal Body Image Index)?
Women’s funny weight loss math – CNN.com
Funny article. I broke even. I guess that’s good. Or maybe, according to the article, I’m just getting older. Hmm.
