Video of the Day
I don't know who did this....but it's genius!
I also can't believe I used to be a fan of Kanye.....I hate when an artist lets themself get in the way of his or her talent. RIP Oasis.
Enjoy!!!

How to Be Mother of the Century
Lose power for 15 consecutive hours.
Last Friday a terrible storm brought extreme winds, blinding rain, and more than a few downed powerlines. Needless to say, we spent the day at home, waiting for the electric company's promise of "one more hour" to actually be realized.
They were off by fourteen hours.
Sure it may be a less than desirable situatuion for your refrigerator and general water supply (we have a well....no power, no water), but it is truly amazing to see what happens when any access to a television or computer is denied.
Puzzles, games, 3,000 books, chasing, play-doh, dress-up.....all things we are likely to do at some point on any given day; just not one after the other.
I became the 100% mom.....and then I need a nice big glass of wine and some brain-deadening television come bedtime.

Other People's Kids
Though I love to talk about the wonderments that are my own children (I dare any parent who feels otherwise), there are some pretty great kids out there that aren't exactly sharing my DNA....just my adoration for their own unique adorableness.
Take for example my lovely neighbor Lori and her middle son, Maximus.
Maximus is a tough little guy with unending energy, cat-like reflexes, and a perfect smile.
He's just a great kid (all three of her kids are, actually).
But here's the thing I love most about the mighty Maximus: As tough as he is, as athletic and energetic as he is, every time he gets so much as a bump or cut....no matter how little, he doesn't cry or scream....he just swiftly walks over to his mommy and waits for the obligatory feel better kiss. He doesn't say anything, he just extends the injuried appendage and waits.
It's the cutest thing.
He's not really hurt, or in need of medical attention. He just loves the comforts of his mom and her ready love. It takes just a second and a smile, and he's off again to take care of his kid business until the next wound sends him back.
Love it.
