who's happy to win the bronze?
ok. if anything could be more clear for me, it was this article in the masslive.com on my hometown coming in 3rd for recycling. EL...Proud to be third There you have it, in a nutshell. Not pissed off that we aren't #1. happy to be third. that is the mentality instilled in East Longmeadow public schools. mediocrity reigns! balloons ordered: 14, backyardigan decorations: 10, egg-free cupcakes to be made: 24.

beavis and butthead
ok. we went to a dinner party last night with SteveO's high shool pals. well at least *I* called it that, but when you put together 3 couples and 7 kids...it doesn't exactly translate into the traditional dinner party format(apparently, that is when the kids are babysat). so it was determined that toddlers don't eat when they are at parties. so i was thinking, wow, if only i was so excited to be out at a party that *I* could lose weight by not eating. seee...so im ready to book some parties. one of the kids at the party, NOAH, was 7. and I wasn't exactly sure what seven meant until he came running in the family room with a barbie over his head yelling. NAKED BARBIE. i seriously had to look away and bury my face in my shirt b/c i was laughing so hard. and parents don't generally like you to laugh( seems like encouragement) at their boy's beavisNbutthead behavior. when i came up for air- i looked at the mom, and said, "so this is what's to come.", I know she was mortified, but that was funny.i need to post this dance party brought to you by the ELO offspring toddlers b/c it is that funny. and perhaps the name of their new dancing troupe! And the US WOMEN kissed their brother and tied ENGLAND 1-1 in China. eew, i REALLY need a WIN ladies, this tying stuff is for the birds. but all is not lost as heatherO put one in the net, so good for her! tupperware orders delivered:2, days til next party: 10

reunited, and it feels so good
ok. so the ELO crew and their offspring of 4 
were here for a week of mom-bonding and group child-rearing, well that's what we told the men of the clan but it was also about laughing/alcohol/tv programming/blogs/brainstorming. topics included: naughty spots, discipline (who has time when tv is on?), tampons, showers and why they are good but not always necessary, baskin robbins ice cream cakes do not live up to their hype, the patriots -paytreerots (subtitled: has pk ever seen a play where the magic was unleashed? answer- NO.) [editors note: pk sees neanderthal men bashing into eachother, no athleticism witnessed, sorry no conversion to the evil AMfootball set.] we generally refer to this as our commune living in FC. so we had a ~5 month martin
, ~9 month andrew
, 20 month steven
, 2 year duncan(
and leading the charge was bridget 
rocking in the 2.5 year set. so as you can imagine, age before boys, bridget ruled the roost. there are pictures to prove it, and even though marymary was all freaked out, kids will be kids. and what better way for kids to be kids. a new playroom! sanity, in tact! i believe the germs that were passed originated from steven's contact with a mangy girl from the week before, but i was told that is a HAARIBLE word to use for a child. my bad. but it still is a very accurate description. and we all fell to the great germ world. i also learned that it is rude to bolt the door as a guest leaves your home. HELLO? when else am i supposed to bolt it? 2 hours later when i realize i didnt secure the door, not likely to happen? come on now, if you hear the click of the lock as you leave a friend's home(where you were welcomed and told to return if desired) you SHOULD NOT BE OFFENDED. now, that i thought was just a given. bolt lockers unite! I am also taking under advisement, the suggestion to rename this blogger, as in the next few weeks, i will be UNDER CONSTRUCTION and getting a full facelift, to better allow my FAITHFUL following of ~5 to visually enjoy something better than 1998 html. trips to grocery store: 6, nights of prepared meals: 1, nights of soozan's gourmet dinner: 1, nights of pizza:2, nights of football party food:3, nights all 5 kids slept through the night: 0.
