DISQUS

Mommy-blogging will be as radical as we make it. Stand up, Moms, and tell the truth! I prefer blogs that are authentic, and I hope advertisers hear me and hear the rest of you, too. Don't bother with perfection; we real moms don't believe it.

Good reasoning! Careful thought is important, as you said. I use a psuedonym mainly to protect my kids, but also because I have a very public job -- I teach.

I graduated from college during Reaganomics. We "settled" for any job with a paycheck in order to pay the rent. I eventually saved up the money to go back to school, enhance my degree & certification, and enter my field. It wasn't pretty, but we always made ends meet.

The power of commercial jingles! I can still sing the Dr. Pepper jingle, the Pepsi Generation, and of course Coke's I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing. yes, i still drink too much soda and coffee.

Oh, the suspense! This will be great fun.

chuck, are you on Plurk? I'm on both Twitter and Plurk. I prefer Plurk, but I still have a lot of friends on Twitter, so I'm unwilling to give it up just yet. Each site connects me with a different set of virtual friends.

My promo is up! I'm looking forward to this. Oh, I signed up for NaBloPoMo, too -- I must be crazy. But fun crazy.

The golden rule applies here as well. I like your point that the ostentatious act is pound foolish. It reminds me of my friends who saved all the spare napkins from the fast food joints (pennywise) but never realized how much money they wasted by eating fast food so often.

I'd like to join in. Please visit my blog, Compost Happens, at http://compostermom.blogspot.com. I recommend Minnesota Matron at http://minnesotamatron.blogspot.com/ and FarmGirl at http://foodiefarmgirl.blogspot.com/.

Your sister was lucky to have you, too. I believe your kiddos will grow up to understand that you were protective because you loved them and worried about them. Oh, yes, and Mom will be the "cool" parent. :)

Oh, my! I hope she's feeling better soon. Good luck, virtual hugs to all of you.

Daisys last blog post..Serenity or shoulds are once again bogus

Love your hen and chickens! Mine didn't do that last year; they were too crowded, just sent out shoots off the side of the planter. I transplanted the shoots and they're doing great.
My cherry tomatoes look a lot like yours in these pics. I should be able to pick the first tomorrow -- or soon!
And that lettuce? We have pet rabbits. Mine never, ever gets a chance to get that big. :)

Love it! I can support other bloggers by reading and blogging. works for me!

Happy Mother's Day to you, too! I like your estimated reading time after each post. :)

The latest from Daisy...Is your home childproofed?

you're absolutely right on the toy. Just doesn't seem worth anything: no play value, not even a short time with fun. When our boy was young, we got him the "3 and under" toys long past his toddlerhood because regardless of the play value, they were safer.

Ah posting frerquency. I decided not to do Holidaillies this year because the everyday stress in my life was a little higher than usual. I post almost daily, but this way I was posting because I wanted to, which (I hope) will lead to improved content rather than self-enforced frequency.

Daisy's last blog post..Ah, the cards.

Great post! FEMA is more ready now than they were, but that doesn't rebuild Katrina victims' homes. Police and Firefighters learned a lot from 9/11, too, but it doesn't make that terrible day less of a tragedy.

Our local farmers' market just started up for the summer. I buy produce there and listne to local music, too, every weekend.

Our so-called "Great" society has let her down as well.
