I’m thinking Chickee is going to grow up into her mother’s choice of writer – they have the same way with wit and words.
Otto on the other hand is an absolute keeper.

“I mean you’d be so angry, you would spontaneously gestate and give birth to livestock. GO TO BED.”

Oh, Mir. I wish I could write like that. Only not today. It hurts when I laugh so hard. *hack, cough, wheeze* Ow.

Sigh. My hubby is also towel-blind. I hid my bath towel in a hard-to-get-to place so it won’t be used as a hand towel and I put another in its place to fake him out. Now he just uses the ‘pretend’ bath towel and harmony is restored.

But he is Otto-like in that he does the little things so I’d rather move my bath towel than not have him.

I’m new to your blog….Does Chickadee happen to be around 7 years old? Because a lot of that last post was veeeery familiar to me.

Thanks, I love your blog!

(excuse me – off topic) Stephany – red wine and dark chocolate nuts? I’m going to visit your blog! What about red wine and sharp cheddar cheese (on Rosemary and Olive Oil Triscuits).

As far as bedtime? I can relate. When the kids work together against us we call it “swimming down” (a Finding Nemo reference – I’ve got to blog about that someday.)

Anyway, the Pachelbel Bedtime on youtube is the BEST! Makes me laugh, makes me cry. http://pragmaticcompendium.wordpress.com/2008/01/08/pachelbel-bedtime/

Holy cow (no pun intended)…have you been spying into my house? Your bedtime is IDENTICAL to ours (except substitute the frenzied discussion about soccer balls with a frenzied discussion about Webkinz or animals in general).

My child is having a bedtime meltdown right now. Upstairs. With his father. I’m down here typing messages to complete strangers on the internet. All I need now is a glass of red wine and some dark-chocolate-covered nuts. And possibly a foot-rub.

How old is Chickadee? I’m waiting for the witty banter stage to emerge…

Mommies all over the world, trying to find way of NOT SHOUTING at bedtime. Trying, and failing.It reassures me that I’m not alone (although livestock isn’t usually mentioned).
