Dear kind readers,

I am running girl all week this week, but wanted to post quickly to say SORRY!!! WE ARE SORRY! to those of you who received an error message when you called up the site earlier, or were re-directed to Hockey God’s site. (Yeah, a clever ploy to steal my readers… Ha! It did not work! Or maybe it did, I have no idea.)

Anyway — a lot of smut mail is sprinkled throughout these entries — computer glitch. So please ignore and do not think I am endorsing these various illegal drugs, ringtones or penile implants. I’m deleting them as I find them. Whew, Nellie! There are a lot of people out there causing trouble.

I’m not one of them.

Please send along love/suggestions for the new design, if you have any.

Kisses,

WM

I was at a school meeting all day today — it was excellent, all about various learning styles and how to get parents motivated, two of my favorite topics — and when I got home I found out Hockey God had redecorated.

My entire blog, that is.

I’m liking it in here! The banquettes are comfier, the new paint looks good, the carpet is squooshy… Heh heh. It really does feel like that sometimes, blogging. Like it’s a genie’s bottle I climb into and run my own talk show or something. While I’m jumping up and down on the cushions and no one’s screaming, “STOP!!!” at me.

So what do you think? If you don’t like it, that’s cool. Because I love it enough for both of us. Ha! Please leave a comment if there’s anything funky that isn’t working right for you.

Also we’ve switched over to WordPress and I must say, it’s a lot easier to use than Pivot was. (Fond as I was of Pivot.) Something about needing a new server, my excessive popularity blowing out our bandwidth, burning down the house, blah blah. If you’re into the geeky/techie stuff go check with my partner in crime because I just don’t get it.

I’ll talk to you about learning styles all day long, though. Turns out I’m a Visual Learner, as well as an Auditory Learner and a Kinesthetic (Physical) Learner.

No wonder I can’t keep shit straight.

From Jenny at Mama Drama:

Breaking news, people! Scientists have proven that most mothers don’t get enough sleep.

Proving that most moms don’t get enough sleep is like proving that men dislike having their testicles kicked repeatedly with a boot, or that the majority of Americans aren’t afraid of rainbows.

Go read her whole post, it’s funny.

Ready for holiday shopping yet?

Look over there — on the right. Cool stuff for sale, designed by Hockey God and approved by me. All proceeds from sales benefit our writing careers and my coffee habit. Hoodies, magnets, bibs, bags, stickers and T’s. Go for it.

Love,

WM

Oh, Google. You’re so whimsical in the ways you send people to me:

10 readers were looking for: wakey wakey hands off snakey

9: stupidass

8: drunk mommies (Won’t find one here. I stopped drinking booze — did I mention this already? Turns out booze is expensive. We can afford to save for the kids’ college funds now.)

Only 5 readers were searching for: snarky librarian

Another 5 wanted: soapy handjobs (Yeah, I bet they did.)

4 hunted for: dancing breasts (tied with: i flashed my boobs)

My second favorite? The 2 people who were searching for: p diddy’s macaroni and cheese recipe (If I had it I wouldn’t share it)

Number one top favorite, searched for by one bitter reader: i hate mommy bloggers (Yet you search us out anyway… Sucker.)

Jesus, alert the media. To those of you I’ve forgotten or misplaced — I am so sorry. To those of you I finally included, der, yeah, you’d think I wasn’t married to a computer guy who e-mailed me handy little lists DAILY of how to maintain my site.

Rilly feel like Queen of the World now.

And I mean it. Unless you are my daughter or my son, don’t call me mommy.

ie — the pediatrician, “So, Mom, how have things been?”

ie — people mimicking my kids, “Mommy! Can I have…”

ie — anyone who calls me a Mommy Blogger. My bad: Yeah, it says “Mommy” right there after “Wacky,” sure ‘nuf. That is me, Being Ironic. Sense the irony? No? Yes you do. Because I said so.

Now comes Miss Zoot, fresh off a plane from BlogHer. They had no Diet Coke in the hotel for Miss Zoot. Do they not read her blog out there in San Jose? Maybe next year, Zoot.

I’m reading a lot of Nothing But Bonfires and Planet Nomad because Wacky Mommy is a wuss and does not travel well. ie — I throw up a lot when I travel. Or I start my period and/or get pregnant. So Bonfires and Nomad are travelling for me.

And Iowa Drift is always good. Iowa City girl. And if I were to travel anywhere right now, it would be to 1) Iowa City and 2) Denver so my kids could see their grandparents. My mom lives in town, so we’re fortunate there, and see her at least a couple times a week. But these sweet years are flying by and we don’t get to see the other grandparents as much as we’d like. Plus, Denver has a great aquarium that I liked so much last time we were there I just wanted to move in. And Iowa City — one word: Boating. We take the beer, the picnic lunch, the kids and the potato chips and go out on the reservoir. It’s perfect. We have no friends with boats here. (Note to self: Find friends with boats, cabins on Mt. Hood and at the beach. Pronto.)

Also reading Finslippy, who is an intriguing writer. And I am loyal to her and want to kick her babysitter’s ass for hitting Henry, her little guy. (Me and 179 other readers.)

Also, Want Not.net cuz she does my shopping for me so I don’t have to. (Am lazy this summer. Am worthless blogger this summer. Uh, maybe not just in summer.)

And the kids are into Dav Pilkey and his Extra-Crunchy Website of Fun. Hey, as long as it means we don’t have to leave the house…

Look — you give me the login and password for your blog, I am going to blog there. Take that, Hockey God. Heh heh heh. No one will be able to stop me now… no one, I tell you! Heh heh heh…

Note to self: Get ads on site, raise a little money, become a full-fledged slut and blog disclaimer.

To my Loyal Readers:

Just because there are ads for martini glasses, sex toys, multi-level marketing scams or whatever the hell else on this site does not mean Wacky Mommy endorses the product/scam in question.

Kisses,

WM

PS — I will heartily endorse Music Together classes though — Wacky Boy loves them and I do, too. Thank you Wacky Neighbor S for recommending these.
