Kerri is giving me a taste of my own medicine. Not long ago I challenged a friend of mine, "hey...where are the new posts?" And now I am being challenged. Kerri wants to know where I've gone....
I'm lost somewhere between the tantrums and the potty training. I think it happened sometime in the middle of the night..stripping pee peed sheets off a bed...or maybe making a super yummy stew..only to hear for the umpteenth time, "I don't like this." (In the winiest voice you can imagine.) To put it mildly.... I've been consumed.
I'm not sure which way is backward and which is forward, who is on the potty and who is in time out? I don't remember starting laundry...yet somehow it needs to be folded...and where did I put that other black heel? Did I shower today? Oh wait..that was yesterday...oh well...a pony tail and a hat will do! Time for lunch already....I just cleared your bowls from breakfast and sooooo on......and soooooooooo on.... Like the droning of a thousand bees and the rhythm of the tide...so has mommy-hood swept me away from my little island away from the chaos! My little blogging world.
But then...what would I have to blog about right? If it weren't for the random madness of life... and the things it brings me....For Example. The lady in the car next to me picking at her face...(skillfully squeezing at her forehead) not realizing that we are but feet away from each other and still ...she thinks..."I think I'll pick my face in the middle of totally stopped traffic instead of the privacy of my own bathroom behind locked doors." I suddenly lost taste for my extra hot pumpkin spice latte with..yes ..I said WITH whipped cream! It's moments like these I've been storing up in my mind to share with you during times of great Blog dry-spells!
This one is for you Kerri!!!! Did I mention it's 1 in the morning and I might be a little bit tired at this moment...I'm sure you've figured that out by now!
Random out!!

Absolutely hilarious! This isn't something that will just please Kerri.....anyone who knows you and your popcorn thinking will laugh out loud at your blogs! This is great....you are giving me a glimpse of what's to come in the future when another comes along!
Love you and thanks for purging your crazy thoughts for us to read!
I miss you Jenny!!! Thanks for the post. I am honored that you would post just for little old me!!! I am trying to post right now on my blog and update you, but the dial up internet isn't being blog-friendly for me. I can't wait to sit with you and drink a lovely mocha or latte (with WHIP!) and get caught up. Only about 2 weeks to go now!! :) Say hi to the family. I think Dan is alive all alone at home. DJ might need to check up on him!!! :) You are a wonderful mommy- I keep hearing that one day our lives will be different. No diapers. No time outs.... Keep posting. I love your honesty!!! (And when I have posts dedicated to me!!)
Yikes. That's as bad as the large woman in front of me wearing a thin white skirt. I could see her granny panty line, (not judging here, the whole "don't let anyone know you are wearing underwear" is a mystery to me.) anyway my point: I could also see her large sanitary pad that was slightly crooked. Horrifying!
How could you ever EVER lose your appetite for a pumpkin spice latte??? My mind just can't go there!
I must admit, I read this blog... laughing and smiling all the way through it, not because I understand it (how can I understand what I haven't experienced?) but because I can hear your voice and your personality in my head as I read it. I feel a bit left out of the whole "mommy" blogs that many of your blog-readers share... maybe some day I'll have some of those blogs, but for now, I'll just enjoy yours!
Love, B
