Okay this story is not your normal “disciplining someone else’s kid.” More like abusing someone else’s kid. That was my launching point for this vid. But, like I’ve told you, I’m not always that rested, and honestly, this is not one of my strongest ones. It’s like I forgot to end it. Instead, I just ended it.
Help me out: write an ending to this video. I’ll try to be more with it on the next one.
I’ve just started a new project in addition to Cool Mom – Momversation, a video show and website for moms. In our first video, I’m gabbing with some other mom-bloggers, including Heather of dooce.com, about politics; specifically, what to do when you and your loved ones disagree on politics.
Parents, listen up! It’s never too early to plan for our children’s future, right? We try to put away some dough for rainy days, college, shoes… So while we’re planning their future careers, shouldn’t we also consider the future of our country? In this video, I lay out my plan for young girls to take over the world – I mean, the USA. Let’s start there.
I think leftist political shows are usually funnier than right-wing parodies. The Daily Show versus that show on Fox for example.
But leftists as individuals can be a really humorless lot, taking themselves WAY to seriously. If anyone has seen Janeane Garofalo in the last couple of years, you know what I mean. So sometimes I think lefties need the piss taken out of them. As someone who grew up in alternative (hippie) schools, snacked on rice cakes, and still likes a swig of soy milk for comfort, I think I’m in a perfect position to do the skewering. Here is an attempt.
Everyone has their back story; here’s mine. This is, in a nutshell, why I’m such a political junkie.
Fresh on the heels of a working mom being the first ever woman on a Republican presidential ticket, here is a workingwoman issue. Being touched at work. I don’t mean in a sexual harassment kind of way. This isn’t the kind of touching that’s going to bring a lawsuit or make anyone cry. But, how do you feel with touchy feely co-workers? Maybe it’s a California thing…
My husband has learned that there will be a wifely wrath if he dumps the New York Times Sunday Styles section before I have read it. I usually have to wait until bedtime to savor this tasty morsel. In the Vows section…all the engagements and weddings, I’m always curious about the ages of people. Do I think they are getting married to young, is it a May September thing? It’s funny I note that more than where they are from or their profession. Although, the happy couples profession and where they are originally from, does hold some interest.
Every week what is the thing you look forward to reading that you would throw a tantrum over if someone through out?
I just wanted to let you know, we will be taking a day off Monday for Labor Day. Don’t worry, we will be back up and running with new vlogs on Tuesday. Have a great weekend.
All parents are looking for the magic bullet to ease their suffering, shut the kids up, not embarrassing ourselves in the process, get some sleep, etc, etc. But is there one? I think if we all realize we can control our children, not really, maybe we’ll (I mean me) get less agro. Of course I am trying to control Vivian a bit this week so I can sit and watch the convention. For a political junkie like me, the next two weeks are like Christmas.
I have a theory on adults: whether married or single, pretty or ugly, rich or poor, we are all sitting on our couches alone watching TV. It is no wonder there are so many lonely isolated people in this world. With the Olympics, at least for two weeks I have an excuse to be a sloth.
Oh wait, the political conventions start soon. The sloth continues!
Remember when you were a fun aunt instead of a neurotic mother?
Well, I forgot until I logged on to SavvyAuntie.com. Wouldn’t it be great if there were sites for other aspects of your lost self? Maybe a website dedicated to fun, professional singles who peaked in the ’90′s. What would that be called, TheClintonYears.com?
