Wait! That was your FATHER's post. I had nothing to do with it! I think I may print that one off and frame it. I just came home and found this, much to my delight.I've seen that look many times before, though never on you!
This is hilarious! I especially like the "Printed on 100% recycled Pampers." Ha!

I would like to know 25 names to call your MIL other than "Mom." Right now I just kind of avoid calling her anything. It's weird and awkward, and we've been married 11 years. Yeah....

I know what to do. Call your mother in law by her NAME! Is that too revolutionary?
On the "fitting an infant in the overhead bin": On overseas flights they have a bassinet thing that fits on the shelf in the bulkhead seat. Technically, it specifies only up to 17 pounds, but our 21 pound kid didn't know the difference and flight attendants are horrible judges of how old or how much kids weigh. Of course James could climb out of it, but that's what the restraints are for.
As far as the names for your MIL, I was thinking along the lines of, "Hey You," "Little Lady," "Missy Muffin," and other quaint appellations of that sort. Her given name, of course, is an option but only one of MANY wonderful ones that are out there. Why limit yourself?
Amy, that's so cool about the airplane bassinet! I am always so glad when I see society accommodating children. Nothing makes me more mad than a public restroom without a diaper changing table. I've had to change a few of my kids on the floor and it was NASH-ty!
whoa, i know you are trying to look all bad for the mugshot, but geesh, you are so skinny these days. you must have really been spanking your kids a lot to burn that many calories.
Thanks, CACKEL - My 10 year high school reunion is next week and I've been trying to lose the baby weight in time! Thanks to pork rinds, cheese sticks and gourmet sausage I'm almost back to normal. Atkins is a beautiful thing :)
Oh my gosh, the entertainment never ends...it's nice to know there is always a place to come and laugh and be impressed that mother's whose offspring have sucked the life from them can still have a sense of humor...you give me hope.
Oh yes, the bags are real. Though I'm hoping they'll subside soon since the baby has started sleeping a little better at night. Until then, I'm baggin' with the best of them!
