You're blessed to have two adorable writing prompts in your home, but you write because you're a writer.<br /><br />YOU CANNOT ESCAPE YOUR DESTINY.dekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10697827826645799999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4704768195528999087.post-87828411452612947442009-11-01T01:26:33.350-04:002009-11-01T01:26:33.350-04:00What I love about your blog is that it is so funny...What I love about your blog is that it is so funny, so frank, and all mothers can relate on some level. <br /><br />Only YOU could post a story about, say, an incident of duct-taping your child's mouth shut so you can watch the new season of 90210 without interruption AND still come across as a supermom and cause the rest of us to think that we might have done the same exact thing. (Readers: Nancy has not actually performed this horrid act. But I'm not saying that she never will.) <br /><br />Finally, I love that when I first read in this post: "As I returned from my little sit...", I actually read "As I returned from my little shit..." it did not faze me in the least. You could have been referring to your bathroom retreat. Or your lunch. Or your child. And we all would have related on some level.sdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17075502050263714757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4704768195528999087.post-49009631562048031162009-10-31T01:42:19.658-04:002009-10-31T01:42:19.658-04:00OK I thought this was funny: I got a small pumpkin...OK I thought this was funny: I got a small pumpkin at the pumpkin patch today to make a "mushroom" out of it. The stem was to be a squash of some sort, from Martha Stewart's Living Magazine...she had real cute mushrooms on the cover, the stem was a squash and the top was supposed to be the pumpkin. so, I clean mine out and go to put it on the squash and it doesn't fit, so I pull the pumpkin apart, to make it fit and split the pumpkin in half! LOL I was so bummed at first and then I laughed about it, I didn't know I was so strong! so....we don't have any mushrooms for the front yard, only pumpkins and butternut squash that are like jack-o-lanterns since my older daughter carved them like pumpkins!Melanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04167151300858497228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4704768195528999087.post-38495653276140111572009-10-30T09:40:43.569-04:002009-10-30T09:40:43.569-04:00You are such a good writer!!

I grew up in far superior Kentucky (about 30 mins away from Marshall.) Believe it or not, I knew a lot of kids who wouldn't go there to school because it wasn't in Kentucky. While there, remember that Huntington was named the most unhealthy U.S. city last year. Something to do with pizza and donut shops in every corner.

But seriously, I love reading your blog, I can't pick one.<br /><br />If I win, we'll call it even, since I never bought that cup of coffee.

Their mascot frightens me.</i><br /><br />I don't think <a href="http://home.nau.edu/about/default.asp#mascot" rel="nofollow">NAU Lumberjacks</a> should make too much fun of WVU Mountaineers. Do have a look at the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morgantown_Personal_Rapid_Transit" rel="nofollow">Morgantown people mover system</a> if you get the chance. The future is now!<br /><br />While you travel, you can experience lots of things about the Mountain State. For example, place a call on a West Virginia cell phone (honk your car horn), do some auto body work with West Virginia chrome (duct tape), and fill up the gas tank with your West Virginia credit card (siphon) - after all, Owen has already demonstrated prowess with tubing.<br /><br /><i>Montani semper liberi!</i>dekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10697827826645799999noreply@blogger.com
