  Demystifying Stupidity
  Monday Musings (3)

  “I  see dead stupid people… Walking around like regular people… They don't see each other. They only see what they want to see… They don't know they're dead stupid … They're everywhere.”  (my own version of the circa 1999 famous Sixth Sense quote)   Have you ever met a person or group of persons, say, like an entire family of blood -related individuals, who cannot help but bring the word “stupid” to your mind, over and over again? No kidding here, I’m dead serious. Have you ever met them? They ARE indeed, everywhere. Perhaps you work with them, they are your neighbors, ...

  Expressions Of A Drama Queen: Girlfriends & Pee-pee
  Monday Musings, expressions of a drama queen (7)

  If you thought that the play-doh messes at themommykelly household were bad during early pregnancy, try to imagine what they are right about now! Just the other day the girls busied themselves executing an early-morning play-doh disaster as I read email and tried to compose a blog post or two. After about ten attempts at "please, clean up" I decided to get a little uppity and go ghetto on the children. themommykelly (from the bathroom - clearly hiding from the mess - to Princess): "Clean up that play-doh!" Princess: "NO!" themommykelly: "Oh, you'd best be cleaning up that mess unless you'd like to see all ...

  Monday Musings: Head in the Clouds
  Monday Musings (2)

  While at various times over the course of my thirty-nine years of breath, I’ve been slated by some as a complex and rather intricate creature, I’m actually a down to earth and simple kind of girl. Practicality is practically my middle name and keeping it real my life’s goal. With me it’s all what you get is what you see, cut to the chase, forget the smoke and mirrors, and get to the point. Despite it all, however, I’ve always held on tight to high ideals, and strangely enough, the one thing I’ve never been accused of is walking with ...

  Monday Musings: Five Irreproachable Ways To Handle A Nasty Neighbor
  Neighborhood News, Monday Musings (5)

  When Hubby arrived home last Thursday evening at 10:15PM we had a little pow-wow about how to go about dealing with our nasty neighbor and the fallen tree. Granted, we do not wish to start a war, or continue the one she has already begun to be precise, but damned if that vindictive side of our frighteningly similar personalities didn't rear it's ugly head as we relished thoughts of irreproachably innocent means of retaliation and laughed ourselves silly. (1) Our first thought was to send grubby-end-of-a-hard-workday Hubby over to her house at 10:30pm that night to ring her bell and rouse her from her ...

  Bad Mood Monday Musings
  Monday Musings, rants (5)

  (n.b. absolutely no hormones were harmed (or employed for that matter) in the production of this post) While I can’t for the life of me think of anything sweet or moving about which to write this miserably overcast Monday morning, I most certainly can think of more than one about which complain. So if you are looking to read some rosy happiness you’ll have to go elsewhere today. I apologize in advance. Between nursing the wonderful pregnancy-induced nose bleed with which I awoke and the headache which is pounding right through my first jolt of caffeine, I have fixed myself another ...

  Monday Musings: Compromise.
  Monday Musings (6)

  How much is too much before one has even gotten to sip the sweet nectar of one’s morning coffee? I can handle a few whines here and there, but two full-blown temper-tantrum-like breakdowns before 8 AM?! And that as a follow up to Drama Queen’s rather loud and annoying 6:30 AM investigation of how many “boo-boos” (aka beauty marks) Mama has got on her right arm.  Whoa! I must be losing grip! Let’s blame it on too much partying over the weekend. Despite it all, I love motherhood and will be sorry when my kids are too old to be ...

  Monday Musings: The PM Edition
  Monday Musings (2)

  There is nothing that can be likened to the end of a Monday, beginning of a new week, yet equally the finish of a previously spectacular one! That would be today.  Laundry still going strong at 8:30pm and the bills neatly organized for next week’s attention, I’m through and ready for sweet slumber. If it seems as though my comments have disappeared from your own sensational blogs, please do accept my deepest regrets. Last week has to have been the busiest week I’ve had yet in 2008!  Somehow amidst the hustle and bustle of family outings, play dates and preparing frantically ...

  Monday Musings: The Power of Laughter
  Monday Musings, Just For Fun (3)

  When exactly was the last time you encountered amusement sufficient to rock your entire body with outlandish laughter and hilarity? I’m not talking about a simple chuckle or the “I can relate to that” kind of giggle after reading an entertaining blog post.  Let’s talk side-splitting, laughter-induced coughing and choking, pants wetting humor! Can you remember that last time you felt that? How good did it feel? Scientific studies have long been singing the praises of a good laugh.  In light of this weekend passed, I have to say, I am a believer.  Over the last few days we “discovered” a ...

  Monday Musings… wait, no, …. Clarifications
  Monday Musings, speaking my mind (5)

  Let me begin by saying Thank you. I appreciate your comments and feedback, not just on the Pregnant Man post, but on all of them. While I do not answer every comment via email (and applaud those bloggers who do), I read and treasure each one, as well as the further thought (and sometimes discussion) which they provoke. The fact that we all have minds and hearts, that we use them, and that we are able to share the fruits of our interior labors over the internet never ceases to amaze me. Over the weekend, I’ve been thinking (imagine that!). Lest ...

  Monday Morning Musings: Mall Madness
  Monday Musings, What the Hell?, rants, speaking my mind (5)

  It’s not too often that I spend much time mulling over the general lack of responsibility and accountability that I encounter in my day-to-day, nor often that I allow myself to be irked by people’s ignorance of common courtesy. One has only to step beyond one’s own front door to discover that some people just couldn’t care less about anyone but themselves or that it is indeed, a dog-eat-dog world. But every so often I am pushed beyond my limits when I encounter that sort of behavior in persons who by virtue of their experiences should know better: mothers. Flashback to Friday. Let me ...
