Yeah, so that happened.
Da Momma
In September, 2002 I became a mother. It must have been the drugs, because I forgot myself and three years later did it all again. Follow along as I illustrate time and again that motherhood is not for wimps.-

Cast of Characters
-
"What do you mean everybody knows about Roo? -- All of you??" Karenna: Renna-Roo. Karoodle-do, The Roodle, Everybody knows about Roo. Future member of the Bush cabinet. Scissors-throwing ninja. Healthy-- and repetitive -- self-esteem. Not a fan of organza. -
Da Posse: Three friends, four years, seven kids. You can't make that kind of stuff up. The one on the left is Tania. I think she figures if she sticks around, she might get a free toaster. Hmmm. Toast. -
Da Momma: Elizabeth, an Op-Ed columnist. Formerly a latte-slinging, cell phone-talking Washington political junkie. Now a slightly disorganized, laundry-hating, multi-tasker with an irrational passion for flinging things on the floor and hanging things from ceilings. A genius at pretending to dust. Should never be trusted with cash when she's sad. Has been known to have hard liquor at the 8 a.m. Pre-K drop off. -
Cute Husband, Esq: A former Marine, it was he who instilled in our daughters a love of getting up very early in the morning to go off and do things. The bastard. -
The Beasties: Just 'cause we don't have enough going on.

You’re still gonna do your own blog right? What would we do for entertainment if Damomma totally disappeared from the Web?

Oh my gosh, that was such a wonderful post. I sent it to my friends; both childless and not.. perfect for everyone.
And thank you for the advice. I sincerely appreciate it! I will definitely be trying it!

WHOA. You’re not leaving us here, right? RIGHT?!??!!?!? Is this about the booger? Because I didn’t care about the booger! I need a meeting…

Is there any correlation to the booger response and your leaving Parenting? Should heads roll over there? Do I still get my required doses of Adventures o Mare n’ Roo? Mother therapy requires it!

The Parenting Post site is down! Is it overrun with people begging you not to leave? As with everyone else, I can’t imagine not having Mare and Ren adventures to keep me entertained. Please keep this blog up!

Beautiful. So well thought and written. You have inspired me to plan my next years revolving around my life as well as my children’s. Thank you.

so, i obviously missed the part where people could somehow think (or say) that you are by anyway a bad parent–seriously take a look around people, remember kids are kids, and boogers are boggers, and they are both very ugly sometimes–and another thing, i read that your kids ate scorpions–mine at a random chicken nugget at the mcdonalds playground–it was on the slide and i guess it looked good to her because she rubbed her tummy as she was swallowing.
