The vehicle's five occupants are getting restless while sitting in traffic on the Southeast Expressway. MSM is at the wheel and has placed a temporary embargo on any and all kid tunes. Other occupants balk at listening to Pixies and Arcade Fire. Failure to compromise= stereo off. Gramma Brenda and CeCe (age 2 yrs, 9 months) sing (for the thirteenth time, mind): Rock-a-bye, baby In the treetop When the wind blows The cradle will rock When the bough breaks The cradle will...MoodswingingmommyLampshade Wearer in Training?tag:typepad.com,2003:post-6a00d8352f7c0069e20120a4c8ae5d970b2009-08-05T07:49:07-04:002009-08-05T07:49:07-04:00I think someone may have OD-ed on Goldfish crackers and apple juice.MoodswingingmommyYes, I know.

She has been absurdly busy obsessing about vampires, fan fiction, and generally embarrassing herself in person and over the interwebz over the last few months. No. Time. To. Blog. She shall forgive Blogherads for yanking her ads because she was a Lazy Suck-Ass Blogger, and just before they were supposed to send her a check, too! Google Page Rank is also absolved of the sin of taking away her coveted 3/10 page rank. Zero suits me just fine, thankyouverymuch. Less PR spammers to deal with is a...MoodswingingmommyTop 10 things Moodswinging Mommy would do in her first 100 days as Presidenttag:typepad.com,2003:post-660921092009-04-27T21:37:18-04:002009-04-27T21:37:18-04:0010) Burn my birth certificate so no one would know that they had accidentally elected a Canadian 9) Call all of those jerks who picked on me in middle school just so I could say “Ha! Ha!” 8) Learn to fly Air Force One 7) Have the White House chefs make me all those things that I was too lazy to make for myself 6) Pardon all vampires, especially Edward 5) Launch covert military operation into Switzerland to take all of their chocolate 4) Order all hot male military personnel to the White House for a “21 Gun” salute 3)...MoodswingingmommyPhrases that spell T.R.O.U.B.L.Etag:typepad.com,2003:post-658025532009-04-21T09:16:11-04:002009-04-21T09:24:35-04:00These are in no particular order, and, I might add, all heard around these parts within the last week. From the Forty-Year-Old Man: "Uh, I'll be back in a minute. I have to go to Home Depot again." (This is usually preceded by a smattering of colorful words. Man in question does not return for at least 90 minutes.) "Have you seen that Home Depot bag/receipt?....You know, the one that was sitting on the counter/hanging on the doorknob right here? " (How to distinguish said bag/receipt from all others scattered about the house is a mystery.) "Have you seen your...MoodswingingmommySweet Revengetag:typepad.com,2003:post-656696632009-04-17T17:09:44-04:002009-04-17T17:24:23-04:00You shall be mine soon. Well played, Super Dad, well played indeed. I want to remind you of a few things, however. I prepare and cook your food. (Well, sometimes.) I do your laundry. I know where you sleep. I have hidden the camera. Yes, you'd best prepare yourself. You'll never know when it may happen. Tonight? Two weeks from now? I'd keep one eye open if I were you. Or perhaps you should know when I will strike? Hmmm.... That reminds me of a little something. Super Dad, meet Barney Stinson. Mwahahahahaha!

Case in point: The Marshmallow. Yes, I said marshmallow. Just stay with me and expect the unexpected around here, 'k? And here we have it.... On the left, we have a generic mini marshmallow. I usually toss five to ten of these in my hot chocolate. On the right, a super-duper-genetically-engineered Malvavisco Super Gigante, direct from Progreso, Mexico. (I say genetically-engineered because someone under ten in our house is under the impression that marshmallows come, and I quote, "Fresh from the Farm.") There is supposed to be a "regular"...Moodswingingmommy9,000 and Countingtag:typepad.com,2003:post-651877432009-04-07T14:18:10-04:002009-04-07T14:38:42-04:00Dear Readers- Moodswinging Mommy here. Since my to-do list and life are positively insane right now, I am bringing you one of my favorite posts from the past year. I felt obliged to mention this because I don't want you reading and exclaiming "What? That crazy lady has gone and had another baby? God help the Human Race!" Nope. The baby to whom I am referring below is now two and a half years old. I might add that the routine hasn't really changed much. Nowadays, it is more likely that I am stepping on microscopic pieces of Lego rather...MoodswingingmommyI think what we have here is a communication problem.tag:typepad.com,2003:post-645545492009-03-24T10:24:42-04:002009-03-24T10:24:42-04:00In case you are stumbling upon my blog for the first time, I just want to let you know that Moodswinging Mommy does read. I present some evidence here, there, and way yonder. I am really not a small town kind of gal even though I am stuck in the 'burbs with two kids. As far as I'm concerned, small towns do have some things going for them. One of them is the free local newspaper. Each week when a new edition comes out, I gleefully snap one up. Does this make me a concerned and informed citizen? Well, I'm...Moodswingingmommy
