This Post Is Short, But It Works Out A Lot

Today's post...

...is parked over at LA Moms Blog, where I post a couple times a month on topics related (strangely enough) to motherhood.


This one is an homage to wonderful comedian Jeff Foxworthy's signature "...You Might Be a Redneck" routine, customized for a mom's point of view and titled, "...You Might Be a Mother."

(I'd post it here, too, but that's against LA Moms Blog rules and last time I broke a rule they put me on a timeout and wouldn't let me watch TV for a whole week.)

I hope you'll click over and check it out...and that it gives you a chuckle or two.

Also...


I'm excited to report that I was quoted on Blogtations!


This blog is big fun - kind of like a greatest hits of the blogosphere and a swell place to find funny blogs. Thanks, Blogtations!

  7. Ewww, the kleenex one definitely rings true. Reminds me of my disgust at a friend who told me she instinctively ate previously choked-on food from her toddler. Guess who gobbled up her own child's chokable the following week in true birdy-fashion? Guilty. Loved the post. Love your blog.

    great to start monday with a laugh...

    Yesterday the preacher said "when you confess, you are made righteous, so know that you are righteous, But You don't know to go around telling everybody!" - funny the way it was said!

  14. you forgot "if you introduce yourself as Tommy's mommy instead of your name, you might be a mother". of course my favorite thing is telling my children that I'm not mommy and that they should seek out daddy right away. :)

  15. I will go and check out your quotes! Also, I have carried through on my threat to turn that Moms Blog post into a meme - it will post on my blog tomorrow (Tuesday) :-).

  16. "If you've ever given a fifth of scotch and your therapist's business card as a baby-shower gift...you might be a mother."
    ~are you trying to tell me this is frowned upon??

    "If you've ever secretly gloated when your frightened child ran to you for comfort rather than to his father.."
    ~I'm supposed to do that secretly? Hmm, interesting.

  17. That headline reminds me of Big Pun's anthem, "I'm not a playa, I just $^$# a lot." Not sure if that's where you are going with it. But I already did.

  26. They won't even let you post your OWN words on your OWN blog?

    Who do I need to speak to about this? I want the manager in charge.

  33. Smart AND funny? That's not fair...

    Talking about blogs, thanks for saying nice things about mine! I was thrilled to discover someone except fat, male, bald, 30-something horror geeks (similar to myself)are reading it!

    Keep on dropping by - don't be scared!
