But then, I get very attached to certain blogs, and am hurt when a blogger doesn't post very often or just quits without taking it down. But then, I get mad when a blogger goes away on vacation and not only fails to give me enough notice, but also announces proudly that they will not even be taking their laptop so they won't even be tempted to blog even though there are only about 7 square feet of dead computer/internet space left on this planet. I get mad because I get to caring about you and how you experience things and how you tell me about it. Y'all got something to say, and more people want to hear it than you might otherwise have room for in your life. So let's not worry about lists and categories.<br /><br />I know a bit about moms. I had a mom until I was six. And then I didn't have one. And then I had another mom. And then another mom, the mom of my kids. I love moms - all of you - because you're just so... mommy (mom-like & mommish don't work here).Gratuitoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01398580944195325522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9075205.post-13124745502229678522009-09-24T19:00:14.766-04:002009-09-24T19:00:14.766-04:00Dang, woman.

Ev...Heh, well, your picture was a hit here at work. Everyone said, "look, there's C & A! Don't they look great! Oh, is that their mom? Huh." I remember when Miles used to mug for the camera, back before he decided it stole his soul. Now the most recent picture I have of him is like two years old and he's looking away. All this growing up stuff sucks. <br /><br />No, I shouldn't be on the list - I'm really not a mommy blogger in any way and that's cool. Plus I'm not really a fan of the genre; I think with the advent of the mom blogs, people have gotten a bit hysterical over parenting. Sometimes I worry about that, helicopter parenting as I've seen it called. It's been around for years but it seems to be ramping up & I think it's bad for everyone, parents & kids. . . but, well, not my problem. <br /><br />Somebody emailed me about product reviews! I totally want schwag. Then I will write mean things about it.mygothlaundryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10017781537813147274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9075205.post-19594933624708451172009-09-21T19:30:55.685-04:002009-09-21T19:30:55.685-04:00I wish you were coming, so I'd have a compatri...I wish you were coming, so I'd have a compatriot. I'm not very good in groups of "girls," and I assume I'll offend a number of them by expressing my opinions about product reviews (unethical and evil) and making sure that they know that I'm not really a "mommy" blogger, even though there'ss a giant photo of my face on the cover of Mt. X with those words floating across my hands. Because when I was asked, I was flattered. And of course, that's what my life looks like every afternoon after school (my girl hasn't smiled like that at a camera in a year. I think the fotog drugged her when I wasn't looking). <br /><br />Plus I think your blog should've been listed (I think you're the only blogger who is a mom who I read regularly). I mean, there were two blogs on the list who are the same person, and she now lives in California. Another person hasn't blogged in over a year. So really, it's kind of a weak list. <br /><br />Sorry for blogging on your blog.Edgy Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12762797383581531929noreply@blogger.com
