The bro-mance of the wolverine and his pal.

I am eating a yummy treat as i write....

Oh boy....another starlet. (can we call someone who hasnt been seen or heard from in a couple of years that?) has come out with her post partum "battle" to shed those unwanted pounds.

Another interview to shake the faith of thousands of mommys who are working their asses off to just look "o.k". Grrrr

"According to the pillow-lipped star, even though she's been "eating like a pig," she "just went to Marc Jacobs and I bought a red dress in a size 4. I've never been a size 4 in my entire life!" "

Egads!!!! Tell us more Liv.

"Liv, who is married to musician Royston Langdon, also has a new attitude to go along with her new dimensions, citing the "transformational" powers of mommyhood for the change.
"Getting pregnant and caring for a baby gave me a confidence I'd never had before," she tells the mag. "I really felt I'd done something well, and I can't say that about anything else in my life." "

Oh wow......say it aint so......TRANSFORMATIONAL POWERS" of motherhood.

Evidently it transformed her into a size 4. Funny my power only got my down into a size 12. And that is only if i work out 5 days a week and dont eat anything resembling a carbohydrate.

Thanks again Liv for your inspiring words.

Oops!

Usually, I would not go here. But SO much is being made of the new "do" Ms. B has that i figured why not.

So she went bald.

So what.

Maybe she just wanted a fresh start. Perhaps a symbolic gesture? She was into all that Kabbalah stuff for awhile. Maybe some of it rubbed off and she is actually having some kind of "rebirth".

Or perhaps she has just had enough and needed an outlet to express herself.

Or maybe she is saying "Please someone help me!"

Oh Bit bit. Its time to do a real stint in rehab, then sit down with Oprah and spill it to the world, and then get back to doing what you do the best. Writhing around in scant next to nothing, pro-tooling over syncopated beats, with a legion of backup dancers behind you. Get to it.

A sick child is just no fun.

The wolverine has been under the weather the last 3 days. We even went to the Dr. That seems to be happening a little too often this year. Trying to get medicine inside my childs mouth is as likely as me winning the lottery. He is crafty.

So its been cabin fever this weekend. But im trying to stay loose. He didnt go down for nap so after about 30 minutes of reading, nursing, and rocking i just called it quits. He played in his room while i made lunch. Now he is in his chair having some "water play". Big doings for him because i usually DONT allow that. He sure looks sleepy. But i refuse to spend another afternoon seeing how long it takes mommy to lose her mind trying to get a 2yr old to sleep. Im just going along for the ride today.

Daddy will be home around 3. I will gladly hand him off for awhile. Maybe he will have better luck.

So what do you all do when your child wont go down for nap?

Political Landscape

is getting more interesting.

This of course will cause a tremor at our house, because the hubby likes The Ex- Mayor. We both have been of the mind these last several years that in the next election its "anyone but a Republican" when we vote. Now...all bets are off im thinking. At this point i have no idea who i will vote for. I know several things i will vote AGAINST. And those things are bipartisan.

I dont look forward to the politics of the next two years leading into the presidential election. But you cant be a responsible citizen OR parent if your not well informed about what is going on in your own backyard.

Butt Kickin' Lookalikes

I never noticed how much Lynda Carter of Wonder Woman fame, and Lucy Lawless of Xena the Warrior Princess, looked alike.

Almost 3:00....

and the wolverine is not asleep, nor has he been asleep. *sigh*

Do you ever feel your spending the best days of your life trying to get that toddler down for a nap. The thought of chucking it and taking him out to play in the snow, or having some scrumptious snack seems appealing. But something inside me just wont give up and go there. Are we programmed to force our children to nap. Is the struggle worth it?

So after nursing, singing, reading, rocking, leaving him to read on the bed (that was a moment of insanity), i have put him in his room with a quilt and pillow on the floor. I told him to play and if he gets sleepy to lay down and nap. Wow.....what a brilliant mom.


I need some warm weather, sunshine, and mommy time. I need a road trip full of freedom and late nights out with friends. I need to pick up a book and actually finish it. I need to put on my ipod, go the the YMCA, and run until my chest feels like exploding and my legs burn. I need a good night of emotional eating.


Yeah.....one missed nap and mommy goes off the deep end.

We can make her stronger, faster,

but better then the original, I think not. So why bother. Of course i do love Battlestar Galactica and thought that would be a silly idea for a remake as well. Notice they are calling it a "reimagining"......oh boy. Im more bothered by this then BSG because it was my FAVORITE show as a young girl. I even owned the Bionic Woman doll and blow up house/dome. Her bionic parts could be taken out. It was so cool.

So although i hate the thought of this reimagining i will have to watch it. It pains me to admit that.

Lindsey Wagner, you will forever be MY Bionic Woman. You have my loyalty.

Eat my own words.....

If this turns out to be true i will be serving up myself a plate of "never say never" as i haul ass to the pole cat smelling home of my youth to squat in filth and heat with thousands of others.
