  Just In Case…
  things you should know (4)

  I've been meaning to let you know that just in case I should disappear from the blogosphere for a few days or start not answering your comments via email, that means I may be hospitalized and delivering Baby. Even though we are only at 33 weeks, we've had some strange changes in blood pressure, headaches, and Baby's movements. We sincerely hope that it's not quite "time" yet, but one never knows. In fact, I'm off to the OB/GYN right now: the second time in two days. Whatever the case may be, I wanted to let anyone who is interested know that I'll be ...

  Mama’s Cry For Help
  Mama Drama, things you should know (5)

  Darlings, how willing are you to respond to a Mama's cry for help? Wait. Don't answer just yet. Hear me out. Taking a peek at my countdown widget earlier last evening, I realized that we have at the very most ten weeks to go before Baby's arrival and according to my OB/GYN's determinations, probably even less.  Figure in another two or three weeks of me being out of commission working through c-section recovery woes and our newborn daughter's demands (hopefully not NICU* related) equalling what I'm sure will be no fewer than twelve weeks during which themommykelly will be crying for help with her blog. Yes, I'm already whimpering because I am faced ...

  The Six Quirks Meme
  things you should know (6)

  Howdie, y'all!  I've been tagged by my friend Ana over at Quiskaeya to participate in The Six Quirks Meme.  All I want to know is how the hell am I supposed to keep it to six, girlfriends?!  Since my brain is still not functioning properly after last night's dedbroom brawl, I'm gonna have to cheat to play. I'll be swiping my "six" from my "one hundred". Maybe they'll entice y'all to read more about little ol' preggo-mommy me. (1)I have been gifted with the unique ability to “peg” people within ten minutes of meeting them. So, if I’ve met you , I’ve ...

  A Thanksgiving Post
  thanks, things you should know, inspirational (6)

  What would a mommy blog be without a Thanksgiving post during Thanksgiving Week? I apologize in advance for caving to the pressure, but I am certain that it is both equally natural and necessary to spend at least a few paragraphs of one’s time waxing poetical on gratitude in the shadow of this fast approaching holiday. Should you rather reflect on something else this week, fed up with the many thanksgiving posts, feel free to move on.  In my humble opinion, however, this post may actually be worth the read. I’ve decided to offer a bit of myself here. Whooooooooa! Thanksgiving has ...

  Once Upon A Time: The Birth of A Meme
  Flaunt It Fridays, things you should know, this blog (22)

  Once upon a time in a remote corner of the blogosphere, somewhere betwixt the changing of the hours and the falling of the leaves, as the Halloween pumpkins lay wasting on the front porch steps, a fairy blogging mama sat diligently before her fifteen inch bright LCD screen dancing with her thoughts. She paused her symphonic typing for but a moment and puffed the magic dust from her fingers with a single breath.  “How I’d love to come up with something catchy to fill the bloggers’ Friday posts.” She considered to herself out loud. “How many are in great need ...

  Down With The Golden Compass
  things you should know, reviews, the kids, rants, speaking my mind (4)

  That's it! I am officially fed up with the crap that is being fed to our children, and my kids are only three and nearly two.  What's next?! Apparently there are not a few idiots out there who think that anti-religious sentiments and killing God make for the ultimate children's story, and the best one to release just before the holidays at that.  Here's the scoop.  I refuse to dedicate another line on my blog to such garbage. I did , however, feel compelled to do my part to warn parents everywhere. Please, pass it on, post it and boycott. Down with The Golden ...
