  Thursday Thinking: Things That Creep Me Out: The Joys Of A Pet
  Thursday Thinking, wit and wisdom (4)

  This post comes to us from my dear cousin, NikkiAngel.  She's not a blogger, but I totally think she should be!  There is definitely something that creeps me out about her plight with her new pet!   I once tried getting a bunny for the girls. After four months, Bunny had to go. No more pets in themommykelly household! Goldfish is where I draw the line. Cleaning up after pets creep me out! Thanks, Nikki, you are an angel for helping! Ok never did this before but willing to give it a try. I am married, mother of one beautiful child and owner to a new puppy. If ...

  Princess Point of View: Conscientious Objector
  Welcome to My World, princess point of view, the mouth of babes, wit and wisdom (4)

  We arrived home at almost 9pm after having enjoyed an absolutely smashing family day at the Mystic Aquarium this Sunday past. Having been out of the house and going strong for over twelve hours, this Mama's "get up and go" got up and went far, far away. No pregnant women should be expected to last that long! Needless to say one very hot shower and robing in my most comfortable jammies later I was ready for sweet slumber! Hubby had gotten the girls washed up, and since he needed to run an errand (owning your own business truly sucks - as you are constantly on ...

  Princess Point of View: Wisdom Beyond Her Years
  princess point of view, wit and wisdom (5)

  During yesterday's quick (yeah, right) trip to Target for some basics, Princess demonstrated extraordinary insight. themommykelly: (wandering listlessly through the isles checking her list): "TP. check. Paper towels. check. Cascade. check..." Princess: (hopping up and down beside the shopping cart, holding the other half of mama's list, shouting): "Mama, look, a man. A man's shopping!" (Handsome young, blue-eyed blond in shirt and tie smiles amusedly as he passes us.) themommykelly: "Yes, honey. I see the man shopping. Men shop too, you know." Princess: "Mans don't do shopping. Mans can't shop. They don't know how!" themommykelly: (laughing full force, stopping mid-isle to hold back her preggo bladder) Princess: "I ...

  Welcome to My World: Pregnancy Sets In
  Welcome to My World, pregnancy, wit and wisdom (7)

  Can anyone please explain to me why in the world they call the nausea associated with pregnancy “morning sickness”?  As far as I can tell, it’s truly got nothing to do with morning or any other particular time of day for that matter.  In fact, I feel great in the morning, whether it’s my 6:30am wake-up call or getting up with a squeaky child at 3:00am, I feel fantastic: stomach great and ready to eat despite the time.  It’s the rest of each and every day that kills me! For the first few weeks of this pregnancy I considered myself quite ...

  Princess Point of View: Pretty
  princess point of view, the kids, the mouth of babes, wit and wisdom (3)

  Last Friday we had the pleasure of a night out to dinner with a great friend at a fabulous new Stamford restaurant named DUO.  Earlier in the day, as I rummaged through Hubby's closet pulling out some clothes for our dinner date (the man would be totally unpresentable otherwise - I'm Italian and vain like that) Princess stood in the hallway observing my every move. themommykelly: "Oh my! It looks like Mama is going to have to iron everything that Daddy is going to wear tonight." Princess: "Really? Why, Mama?" themommykelly: "Because if I don't, Daddy will look like a complete slob with his clothes all wrinkly." Princess: (in her cutest ...

  Just For Fun: Motivation
  Just For Fun, modern motherhood, wit and wisdom (7)

  Everything we do, we do for a reason.  That reason is called motivation.  I’m not feeling particularly motivated at the moment, but just because I’m not feeling it doesn’t mean I’m not.  So as I try to avoid looking at the bills packed into the bill organizer looming on the shelf above my head and inadvertently end up glancing over at those three baskets full of clean laundry that have need folding for about a week, I can’t help but wonder, where is my motivation? Now I know that there is literally a ton of 2007 bookkeeping to be done ...

  Inevitable Misunderstandings
  thanks, What the Hell?, rants, wit and wisdom (7)

  Thanksgiving not far behind and the magical month of December quickly closing in upon us, it stands to reason that we should stop and meander a bit in the realm of the lovely and most entertaining world of what I will call, for lack of a kinder term, “Inevitable Misunderstandings”.   This misnomer of sorts is about the only title which I could possibly think of in my “having-eaten-way-too-much-over-the-weekend- now-dying- and-five-pounds-heftier-Monday” mode.  In fact, it’s taken me just about all day long to come up with this one. I have been seriously tempted to post under the guise of a more ...

  Query of the Day: Lucky?
  wit and wisdom (6)

  I'm curious.  If your lucky bamboo dies, is it because you are unlucky or just lack a green thumb?

  Recyclables III: Chuckles for a Rainy Day
  recyclables, wit and wisdom (4)

  Yup, borrowing from the catalogs again.  Hey, we all need a few laughs now and then! Some drink at the fountain of knowledge, others just gargle. Unlike you, I carry a concealed weapon. A BRAIN. Life is a circus, and I'm stuck in the Freak Tent! Time's up. What's your point? I haven't been the same since they took my blankie. Have a pleasant Tuesday. Hopefully wherever you are it's not raining.

  Princess Point of View I
  princess point of view, the mouth of babes, wit and wisdom, the blogger (1)

  Upon stepping out of the shower on our first night back from Aruba... Princess (our three year old):   "Mama, why is your body all dark and your boobies pink?!" So much for that one afternoon of topless sunbathing!
