1. Recently I saw a man shaving his knuckles at a bus stop.
2. My 6 year-old just experienced her first consequence for swearing. She has been dropping S bombs to get a reaction, she got one named Frank’s Red Hot (courtesy Mike).
3. Speaking of my husband, he betrayed me. He mentioned my name and blog in the same sentence to my family. I don’t know why I have tried to keep it mum, but I have. Perhaps it’s because everyone I am related to (myself included) has the trait of taking everything personally.
4. I still don’t have a ticket to Chicago and I need to fly out next Wednesday. Someone is a certain office needs to be punched in the throat repeatedly for holding up my money.
5. The Bear is back to clicking instead of talking. It’s like living in a National Geographic documentary here sometimes.
6. My Xanax prescription is running low and my Dr J in his infinite wisdom wrote the scrip for only 14 and NO REFILLS! Trust I will be in is office in about 2 hours getting a new one. There is no way I will survive next weekend without a full bottle.
7. I have about 10 more product reviews to write, so I should get going.
8. HP Rocks, just saying.

These premium pull-up cloth diapers feature Patent-Pending Easy-Stretch Side Panels so they are easy for your child to step into and out of.

Antsy Pants ™ Pros

We love these underpants. Not only are they cute, they are easy to use. The built-in pocket makes adding more absorbency easy. I love that they fit like underwear. We’ve been using them for several months now and my daughter can pull them on and off herself. The snap sides make poopy accident clean-ups a “snap.”

I am glad we tried these instead of traditional training pants. She has a very skinny waist that the wide elastic band fits well. She finds the elastic leg band comfortable as well. I like that she feels wet but her pants stay dry. These are an environmentally friendly alternative to pull-ups.

Antsy Pants ™ Cons

For someone who uses disposable diapers, the initial cost ($282 for a set of 12) can be a shock. If you add up the $15 per week you spend on disposable diapers, they pay for them selves quickly. The started kits are loaded with extra night inserts and wipes that double as inserts.

Antsy Pants ™ Description

Antsy Pants ™ Pull-Up Cloth Diapers are the ultimate in ease and convenience. The diapers come out of the dryer (or off of the clothes line) ready to go; just make sure the pocket is fully covered and flip the diaper so that the lining is to the inside as shown.

Want more absorbency for a heavy wetter, for naps or for night-time diapering without leaks? Antsy Pants™ has you covered. There is a side-opening pocket inside that is there when you need it. Place a cloth wipe in the wetting zone to give the diapers an extra boost or a folded polyester microfiber insert to give your Antsy Pants ™ extra absorbency for longer stretches such as overnight.

It’s community college, so they’re not sweating me for the money. But the freakin’ check would be nice. I have other bills to pay, y’know?

Time to go do homework. PowerPoint. So my session at Type-A Mom Conference can be it’s is most kick ass proportions.

When you create your blog in WordPress or Blogger, it creates metadata with your title and tag line. This is good, but put a lot of importance on that tagline. It throws out all those witty quips you wanted to use.

Now you can do both with a simple code embedded in your template. A little copy and paste will help you add common keywords that relate to you. Change the italicized and keep everything else.

<meta name=”list of keywords relating to your site- TIP: check your analytics tool to see what brings people to your site” content=”keywords” />
<meta name=”short description of your blog” content=”name” />
