  Thinking Pink & Other Nonsense
  pregnancy, What the Hell?, rants (8)

  We here at themommykelly household are having another baby girl. Those of you who have visited regularly and even assisted in choosing a name (on which we have finally decided*) know that. It’s certainly no secret, nor anything at which to gasp. Quite frankly, I am thrilled. Parenting three girls sounds like heaven to me. Yes, I think pink and wouldn’t want it any other way. More on that later. On to the nonsense. I find that grocery shopping, being the mundane and tedious task that is it alone, is just so much more entertaining with two little girls in tow ...

  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 ...

  Do you know someone who honestly believes he or she is the center of everyone's world? I DO! This one goes out to mine and yours!

  Stalless toilets, Wacky Pediatricians and Nuns! Oh My!
  pregnancy, rants (5)

  Can someone please take a few minutes to explain to me why, oh why, in addition to all the wonderful and amazing changes that one’s body undergoes during the course of a pregnancy, must the realms of the brain where one’s pleasant dreams are concocted go haywire?  Why exactly must the mommy-to-be reach month five celebrating the long-awaited disappearance of nausea, only to find herself immersed in the most disturbing and bizarre nighttime adventures  imaginable? Now it’s easy to write off the reoccurring stalless toilet dream, since, at this point waking for potty trips every few hours is a given. No ...

  Do You See What I Mean?!
  my favorites, What the Hell?, rants (3)

  OK. I am not alone, ladies. I am not the only one wondering WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?! Check out the kind of crap that happens to mommies everywhere at Mrs. Flinger's! I can soooooo relate!

  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 ...

  2008: The Year of The Gran VAFAINCUOLO
  pregnancy, rants, speaking my mind (7)

  I've been meaning to get around to writing this post since January 1st. Amidst bouts of nausea, in-law crap, a sub-chorionic bleed in baby's placenta and doctor-ordered bed rest, it just never happened. Tuesday afternoon's visit to the hospital's maternal-fetal care unit for our level-two ultrasound was just what the doctor ordered to finally bring out this post. Thank goodness. It's been a long time coming. First off, let me begin by saying: NO! We still do not know the sex of the baby. Why? Well, darling child number three was all bunched up in a very stubborn position for which not only ...

  What the Hell?!: Insanity
  What the Hell?, rants, speaking my mind (4)

  Despite the volatile nature of my pregnant ramblings, every so often I am inspired by the most laughable of situations; the sort of completely ridiculous happenings that force me to stop short in my tracks and stand dumbfounded just long enough to think out loud with the most enormous, sarcastic half-giggling smile from ear to ear: “what the hell?!” One such happening would be the ever-old and ever-new emergence of those tidbits of insanity that life inevitably throws ones way.   Albert Einstein is attributed with the most wonderful definition of insanity that I have ever come across and the one to ...

  Welcome to My World: Not Long Now
  Welcome to My World, pregnancy, What the Hell?, rants, speaking my mind (8)

  ***** Warning: this post is fueled by some very potent pregnancy hormones and may be inappropriate for some readers. Reader's discretion advised *****    It won’t be long now before the absolutely ludicrous pregnancy discussions and questions come rolling in.  As soon as the belly pops (it already has since after two surgeries I have no abdominal muscle left to speak of) and it is obvious that it’s all about another living being, I know that I can expect people, especially people in certain circles, to start talking crap about everything pregnant and baby including - if not exclusively consisting of - those ...

  Life As It Is: Damned if you do…
  life as it is, relationships, rants, speaking my mind (1)

  For some of us it is a fact of life that no matter who you are or what you do, no matter how much of an effort you make or how much you go out of your way to accommodate or be kind, no matter how many hoops you jump through or how many times you eat crow, with some people you JUST! CAN’T! WIN! Apparently in some circles, it is inevitable; there is absolutely nothing you can do. You are the culprit, the outsider, a nut, someone in dire need of psycho-meds, the bitch, the one who can do ...
