Aug9Movin’ On Up?
Tonya

It’s been so amazing here at adhocMOM but, sadly, we are moving on. Moving up.

I can now be found at my new blog: Going To Mensa and on twitter: @Going2Mensa.

I can also still be found at The Mouthy Housewives.

Unlike Weezy though my move won’t come with an apartment in the sky.

Anyway, since Gwyneth Paltrow has a cookbook and J.Lo seems to be up for Single Mother of the Year award I’ve decided to branch out into poetry. After a few attempts with a “Man from Nantucket” I moved on to the haiku. I’ve written one for all you lovely folks out there in the blogosphere:

A train to catch. Now.

I know not where it travels.

Maybe back to you?

I know; it’s pretty damn deep.

Seriously, I just want to say I feel so lucky to have met such amazing people! I will miss everyone so much! And I really hope that you all come over and visit me on Going to Mensa and The Mouthy Housewives. But most of all, though, THANK YOU for all of the awesome comments, the wonderful advice, the amazing support, and, most of all, the huge laughs!!!

Love,

Tonya

Jul29At the Risk of Being Unpopular…
Tonya

I used to watch the RH of NJ, I found it entertaining or rather I should say I found most of it enjoyable. Quite frankly, though, these days, I’m over Danielle. I fast forward during any segment she’s in. The bitch is crazy and that crazy doesn’t seem to be evolving into funny or going away so really now it’s just a show that follows a really sick person and gives her encouragement for her ridiculous behavior, this includes her skeletal crew of zombies she’s got egging her on. I suppose the reason we all watch her is Continue reading At the Risk of Being Unpopular…

Jul28Bribes I Have Made This Week
Paula

If June wants to be a U.S. Senator, she’s getting a lot of practice in the art of bribery this week. I’m sorry, but I’ve lost my will to go to the playground (seriously, it’s been like 9 million degrees for a month, I look like a 78 year old snow bird), and I have this looming deadline I have little chance of meeting if I don’t carve out a little extra work time. So, I fear I’m resorting to bribery way more than I normally do, and it’s only Wednesday. Popular bribes this week include:

Jul27Mommy Etiquette in 8 Simple Rules
Tonya

Recently 3 of our very good friends had babies (Congrats Carrie, Erin and Jess!) and it got me to thinking about how they’ve been thrown back into that dog-eat-dog world that is Mommy-and-me. So I decided to put together a little something for them to hand out as a way of making this next experience a little easier.

Jul27My Blog Post is Late And The New York Times Says I Can Blame The Heat!
Paula

Tonya and I really try to get our blog posts up the night before. I guess we like to think that someone somewhere might actually go to our site in the morning and expect that there be something new and wish to read it. Today I am late. I just couldn’t get it together. I didn’t have any ideas. NOTHING. I was pretty sure I was going to have to call Tonya in a few minutes and sheepishly beg to borrow her brain for the day. I was a blog failure. But even worse, Continue reading My Blog Post is Late And The New York Times Says I Can Blame The Heat!

Jul25Singlehandedly Destroying US Relationship with China
Tonya

I have these insane headaches and I don’t think they’re just caused by my husband. Given my propensity to run to the drug company every time I have a tiny problem I decided perhaps in this instance I would try something a bit different. Mostly because god knows what kind of crazy side effects a migraine med will give me when it interacts with all the other pills in my system. I could, like, lose all function in my left leg or perhaps one eye shuts permanently or, the worst, anal leakage!
