    Ok, not to be totally sickening.. Ok.. well maybe just a little, but the genius boy crapped out a small tree trunk yesterday, checked him over throroughly to make sure he didn’t lose an internal organ.. this kid must have been holding it for days! GEESH!

    I didn’t know whether to take a picture or flush…
    I flushed it for those who are wondering.. ;o)

    I am there with you on the laundry…I have to go to the laundry room myself and I am not sure how I am going to get down there to wash…

    I was chortling by line three. And in a perfect world the only time one should be awoken before 6am is . . . well huh. I can’t think of any reason on EARTH when I wouldn’t mind being up that early. And up before dawn and still managing laundry? I say rockstar.

    Number of your posts I’ve saved up in my reader for when I “have time to savor them and comment appropriately.”

    Ha ha! I laughed especially at number of blogs you had time to read vs how many you would in fact read. Also, wine:30.

    I’ve done 0 loads b/c I have 0 detergent. My housewife needs to be doing a better job. Damn… that’s me.

    “Number of TV shows needed so that I can get in my blog reading: 13″ = the truth! Wine will be opened at 1800.

    You kill me! Over in these parts I’m looking forward to cooler:30. Sadly, it may arrive before the children are in bed – one must never drink alone, you know.

    Laundry piled high
    you know it’s really bad when,
    kids are scaling it

    Carson’s colossal crap.

    Only an English major would read that and think, “Nice alliteration…”

    Hope he gets better soon.

    Oh – good old wine:30. And I love Andi’s idea of never drinking alone…she’s a smart girl….

    Sounds like one of those days where every hour should be wine:30. Have a better weekend!

    I got 1 child at 4 this morning! :) One emergency load of laundry done, too many to count left to do. I feel for you, but glad I’m not the only one having a crazy day! I’m so ready for wine:30… 1 hour and counting. Heck, might as well start now! :)

    I didn’t know about wine:30. Man I wish I had wine right now. Wine and Nyquil aren’t a good match though.

    What is laundry?

    It’s wine:30 here. Shiraz- a cheep one, but it’s working!

    I just wrote about poop on my blog not too long ago :D

    The laundry. OH the Laundry! Never. Ends. I’m thinking wine:30 should be rescheduled to fill that time slot left open by the lack of detergent.

    Okay, what is up with Hi-5? We recently stumbled across it accidentally and now Peanut LOVES it. She’s not even a year, how could she love that show?? I don’t get why it’s fascinating to her b/c I think she’s too young, but apparently I am wrong. & those songs, ugh! They get stuck in my head. I have one now ” 1 2 3, we all need action heroes… ooh ooh oooh oooh.” MAKE IT STOP!!!

    That was a great post! There’s not much left to say after 31 other comments. But great.

    And Wine:30? I’m so there with you!

    Could you take a look at my last post? I think you and your kazillion readers could help greatly….

    Dude! 229??? I start hyperventilating if my google reader hits 50. I think if I got to 229, I would just turn to the bottle and call it a day. good for you for keeping it altogether. When I have kids and a husband, I will be turning to you for advice!

    That. sucks.

    Except for the wine:30. THAT ROCKS.

    Waiting to hear about BlogHer ’08. Let me know if you hear anything because I’m way out of it.

    Nothing like some number OCD to crack me up.

    You know you need a wine pick me up when you start counting.

    be careful or Harper’s Magazine will steal this fine list…

    and wine:30? a fine time in our house! though Dave personally prefers beer o’clock himself.

    Can I tell you how much I *loathe* Hi-5? Their perkiness makes me want to put ice picks in my eyeballs.

    I so need to send you a Wine Thirty mug–mine gets LOTS of use.

    I mean, SOME use.

    Not much, really.

    Ok, a TON of use.
