…because you have other shizz to do.
Where I’ve been this week on the www.
All summed up so you can move on with your life.

My girl Susan from Divine Secrets of a Domestic Diva shared a photo of her kids’ artwork. Her son’s art is also featured in her favorite post of mine, because he is so gifted (at drawing penises). She links to that post in hers, in case you missed his mad skillz.
You really should try my banana pancakes. Really.
Gave big props to my husband. He’s good stuff.
Father’s Day isn’t something everyone celebrates. I can understand why. I talked about it a little, and shared a Brite. On a side note, this Brite earned me some special recognition from my fellow Britely authors & management. It was an important one to me, and pretty personal, so I truly appreciated that.
Discovered another feminine hygiene product campaign that I absolutely do not understand.
While shopping for Tylenol, I had a photo op I couldn’t pass up.
I shared my love of Janel from 649.133 and how eloquently hilariously she explains how tough bedtime can be.
My task was to choose my 5 favorite posts from the previous week’s Finding the Funny (#21) linkup. I chose 9. You should know these bloggers, all of them. So get reading.
I also tied for 2nd place as the most-clicked post that week, so am highlighted on this week’s Finding the Funny. So go get reading there, too.
Rihanna’s “We Fell in Love” has a catchy beat. So I changed the words to express my worries about surviving Summer Break & made a video of my own.
Mommy Shorts had a caption contest that made me laugh, hard. I added my 2 cents, and had fun reading the other entries. She’s also looking for Funny School pictures for her “Mommy Shorts Yearbook”. Just post them on her Facebook Fan Page.
I was infuriated and frightened by the footage of the bus monitor who was brought to tears by being bulled. I shared my thoughts & made a serious request. A BIG thank you to all the hundreds of people who have shared & commented on this post. Sure, it’s awesome when you all spread my funnier stuff through the www. But to know that something as important as this gets read means a lot.
My 7yo son was having a hard time during bedtime the last day of school. Then said something so earnestly, so true, that my heart exploded.
In The Powder Room invited me back this week to share my thoughts about department store dressing rooms. I have a theory as to why they are so unflattering. Do you agree? Disagree? Click the button below & let me know!
Guess who’s on the judging panel for a kid’s Bed Head photo contest? That would be me. Go look for a great photo of your kids to submit, “Like” Dastardly ‘Do on Facebook, and laugh along with me.
When I had my 1st baby, something very unexpected helped me regain my sanity. I wrote about it over on Circle of Moms.
For Trifecta Writing, I re-wrote a favorite book in 33 words. Then the author stopped by to give her stamp of approval.
Oh, and my husband keeps walking around sighing about how lucky I am to have Summer Break with the kids. Clearly, he’s hallucinating. Here’s why:
I have 3 lovely sponsors who make me happy and help pay a babysitter so I can write this summer without children hanging from my neck. Please help me show them some love by checking them out, Liking them on Facebook, looking around their stores. Thanks!
Julie Grambart at PartyLite = Lovely candles, home fragrance and decor.
My Pretty Chic Boutique = An Etsy shop of stone & beaded jewelry that I covet.
Splendid Junk = Etsy shop of lovely vintage goods for home & garden, gifts & jewelry.
Okay, now I think that’s everything.
Back to your regularly-scheduled weekending…
I liked reading your “Poop made it all a little more okay.” As someone who is getting ready to be a first time mom (due in 6 weeks, holy shit balls….) it made me breathe a little easier knowing all of these emotions I’m going through are completely normal. You know the ones….complete crazy excitement, scared out of my mind, worried I’ll have no clue what I’m doing, the list goes on and on. I can’t help but think how I kind of feel like I’m nearing the top of the first hill on a crazy rollercoaster…the one you thought was a good idea when you were in line for so long but the second you strapped yourself in you looked at your best friend (ie husband) sitting next to you and said, “OMG, why the ef did we decide this would be a good idea?” You know you’ll be so glad you went on it but you’ll scream, cry, laugh, and maybe even pee a little throughout the whole ride. How can one possibly prepare for this?? Teach me oh wise Kim.
The best way to get ready is to realize there is NO WAY YOU ARE READY. Do your best to make sure you and your husband are on the same team, and try your best.
Oh – and keep a sense of humor. Because that just might keep you from bashing your head through a wall in frustration at the sleeplessness, the exhaustion, the fighting, the crying, the unrequested advice, and the worries.
How on Earth did I miss this. Thanks! I am apparently much better at writing about bedtime than actually conducting it.
