Well that one sure snuck up on me.
Comments (11)Recently
I bought Rosie a new car seat that lets her rear face up to 40 pounds.
It was kind of a shock one day when I realized she had abruptly
outgrown her infant seat. I seriously don't remember this happening so fast with the other kids.Today, it was Sara's turn. The three year old.
I've
had some trouble buckling her in for a while now, and if she was
wearing a coat it was an extremely tight squeeze. Today it occurred to
me--hey! Your little gal is getting BIG and might need a NEW seat! So I checked the height/weight limits on the seat. 36 inches, 35 pounds. Hmm, I thought, I'll...

A letter to the voters of Maine.
Comments (215)You got suckered.You were misled.You allowed ignorance to halt a hugely progressive step forward towards true equality.Ever since our governor signed our new gay marriage law into effect earlier this year, the "Christian" groups have been running campaigns to have it repealed at the ballot. Unfortunately, they were successful. They accomplished this through fear mongering and lies, incomplete information and twisted sensationalism.For example, they claimed that second graders would be taught about gay marriage. I have a couple questions about this. First of all, anti-gay marriage voter, WHY...

The great powers of this most sacred holiday.
Comments (9)My son got up out of bed WAY too early this morning. I got up at 6:30AM to go to work and decorate cakes for you sugar addicts. There was no reason for Kris to get up too, dangitall!He's being a whiny little turd monkey too. He smelled like pee and wouldn't stop stomping and being a buttmunch, and I was quietly but fiercely getting pissed off."You can't get mad at me today!" he told me."I can't?""No, today is a holiday!" he said gleefully.Oh. I guess that means Halloween didn't escape his notice and on his miniature radar, a Real Holiday means Mommy can't get mad at him. I really hope it...

Letter to a racist Justice of the Peace.
Comments (77)Dear Mr Bardwell, you seem to be under the impression that stating, "I'm not a racist. I just don't believe in mixing the races that way," actually means the rest of the country is nodding sagely with you and agreeing that blacks and whites produce blighted children who suffer at the hands of an unforgiving society. Perhaps in Louisiana, you have witnessed so much racism that you feel this philosophy is justified and you really aren't aware how revolting your words are. However, it doesn't change the fact that you are indeed, a racist man who is abusing your authority in a most disgusting...

You and your family could be dead, because of me.
Comments (31)The most dangerous thing I have ever done is also the one that causes the most shame and the most sorrow when I think back on my past. I used to be a very heavy drinker. I drank so intensely that I lived almost in a state of near alcohol poisoning for quite some time. One of the things I used to during this time was drive drunk.
Not just drunk, but black-out drunk. Drunk to the point where I could barely see the road. Every night on my way home from work, I'd stop by the gas station and buy several of the extra big cans of beer and drain them as I sped along the back country roads. I...

Hello, Andrew Shue.
Comments (30)I read in my grandmother's TV Guide from last month, or whenever, that you are passing up a chance to go back to the Melrose Place thing because you just love us moms so much.Since I always thought those kind of shows were pretty stupid, and Cafemom rocks... good choice.

One of these days I'm going to tear you into little pieces
Comments (26)Take a look in your rear view mirror for a moment, would ya?If there is a line of cars behind you, creeping along... let's say, ten cars... three eighteen wheelers... a school bus... a moped...Let's say the speed limit is 55 but you feel like going 35, which is your prerogative, sure... but the idiot behind me is bobbing and weaving and tailgating and just waiting for the split second he can streak past me and the four cars ahead of me to beat the on-coming dump truck...If your pokey ass feels it necessary to dodder along at this speed and back up traffic on a two lane country road, I would...

Now that's some prime real estate, baby!
Comments (22)Today at work my manager received several pages from her boyfriend and ignored them because she was extremely busy, and as we all know men will call you at work just to say really dumb things. Finally, she called him back and found out what was so bloody important.It turns out, he bought a house in Tennessee, off an auction on a television show. We live in Maine."And what did you say?" we wanted to know."I told him he's not allowed to watch tv anymore," she said."How much land does it have?" I asked her."He doesn't know," she said.Apparently, being a carpenter, buying a house in a state far...
