My daughter has decided to call me Olivia today. It’s been going on for an hour now. I have no idea who Olivia is.
Just tried new discipline tactic w/son - and it worked. Kinda like whispering technique. Sometimes being really quiet is really effective.
Upgrading Wordpress kinda annoys me.
@trollbaby Hmmm… I’ll have to grab the Kahlua.
Is it the profile.php and all those numbers? Dumb. Why not facebook.com/phatmommy?
Am I dense? I can’t figure out what my facebook URL is to make a link to it…
Gearing up for Japanese Hibachi tonight! I’ve never been.

Thanks for the link, and the links to the New Years info. I’ll be reading them with my kids today. Happy New Year!

DGM writes: “Is it so wrong to have standards?” No. But it IS wrong to impose YOUR standards on others. I have no problem at all with TV or marketing. If I don’t like something, I TURN IT OFF. If ENOUGH people turned it off, the network would have no ad sales and the show would be off the air. Period.

@trollbaby Mosaic. There’s a cool store near me that lets you make your own glass pieces using mosaic. Kids had a blast doing it.
@QueenofSpain Not lame. But IMO it’s over-rated.
@marshallk Not sure if this is what you need, but have you seen Color Schemer? http://snurl.com/1w5wo
I HATE listening to other people chew. Ugh.

Love, LOVE both HSM movies and all the actors in them. That’s one talented bunch of kids. It’s not even a movie anymore, it’s an empire.
@carliz OH! I get it!! Sorry! I’m dense sometimes!
@carliz A surprise?? When? Where? I’m not a patient girl. ;-)
YES! Total Recall is on. Awesome Sunday afternoon sitting around movie!!
My daughter is covering her entire mouth from her nose to her chin with lip gloss of various flavors. It’s SO sticky and smelly.
Determined to have a good day today. Peaceful day. A no-yelling day.
What a rotten day. My son was SO BAD. But my husband bought us a new car. A Mazda 3 - sweet.
phatmommy says:
Amen.
Way more motivated today. Ready to take on the world.

Finding a good name for your site can be very difficult.
Here are some ways to find a memorable name that will stand out from the crowd:
1. Be unique - Make up a word (like Dooce), leave out a vowel (like Flickr), or deliberately misspell a word (like Pownce). Your name can work well, especially if it’s not an extremely common name, but only...
Unbelievable traffic today. Took 7 1/2 hours to make what should have been about a 5-hour trip. Home now. Unmotivated to put toys away.
My husband is the best. And he drives home so I can drink my face off.
My jewish husband is about to dress up like Santa for the kids at family gathering. This is gonna be good.
Had to try 3 times to type in twitter.com. WAY too much wine tonight. :-) Family gathering. 6 kids, 9 adults, good food and fun. Way happy.
@Fussypants @trollbaby @suburbnoblivion and more… Aren’t you just lovin Twitter? It’s one big public chat room. Cheers to y’all ladies!
Orkut vs Facebook? Opinions?
@Fussypants Traveling. Will be fun if kids behave. Will suck if they don’t.

So if men prefer women without makeup (which I am NOT conceding by this un-scientific poll), how did makeup become a multimillion-dollar industry? Because women have been brought up thinking they “need” it, or because it’s the WOMEN who actually LIKE it?
Playing Mythmatical Battles with my son - SUCH a cool game: http://www.mythmaticalbattles.com
Do men REALLY prefer women without makeup? I am just astounded. Vote here: http://snurl.com/1vo1w

Ha! I regift and really find nothing wrong with it. My son got two copies of the same movie for his birthday and here’s what I told him: “We could return the movie, get a credit and buy another movie for your friend’s birthday. But we know he’ll like this one, so we can save ourselves a trip and just give this to him.” It’s all good if you ask...

“What you live is what your child absorbs.” Quote from a podcast on parenting. Feeling pretty bad about that these days…
@Fussypants Congrats! Wow, A 6-to-1 penis ratio in your house. But hey, I’d rather have 5 boys than 5 girls.
I need to go through all my old blog posts and tag them appropriately. And fix categories. I like things organized, yo.
@Amalita Ditto. I missed the peas thing.

I know someone who had 4 boys, then a girl and she really was in shock. Just didn’t know how to handle a girl and had to get lots of new clothes and toys, etc. I’ll be thinking of you - you need to mobile twitter the gender to us!
Just got my daughter’s ears pierced! Just walking through the mall and she said she wanted to. Yay!
