Do You Suffer from Mommy Brain?

Have you ever suffered from mommy brain? My definition of Mommy Brain: A temporary lapse of memory and/or intelligence caused by motherhood. I hope my latest AskMom OnlineRI.com column helps reassure you that you’re not the only one who experiences this mommy condition from time to time. It happens to all of us! This post was initially inspired by brain pharts experienced by my friend Jane of MomGenerations.com while pregnant. Thanks again, Jane, and congratulations on baby B! 😉 Enjoy! https://onlineri.com/articles/ask_mom/mommy-brain

Shameless

I’m shameless, so I’ll show you which movie I watched by myself.

Do you have a movie you’re embarrassed to say you watched by yourself? I confessed that I watched this movie, so come on. Please throw me a bone here, ladies.

My Nu Best Friend

It’s not every day that you come in contact with something that means so much to you (and comes in adorable, convenient packaging). Not since I discovered Little Debbie’s® Swiss Roll have I felt such a confectionary connection. Meet my new best friend, Nutella & Go. This little snack can literally melt away kid-rearing stress without adding layers to my behind. (Due to the small size of the package, not necessarily my lack of self-discipline.) God bless America.

I pack these Nutella singles with mini-bread sticks in my kids’ lunches. (Boy, how I wish I had this snack when I was in elementary school.)

If you really need a pick me up today, be so thankful your children don’t act like these fictitious kids, from the movie Talladega Nights starring Will Farrell.

Do you remember this commercial from the 1980’s? I thought about this often when I was potty training my kids.

Point well taken, Louis

I have to share this link on being a not-quite-perfect parent from the perspective a funny and self-deprecating father 1) because I adore this stand-up comedian (you may have heard of Louise CK?) 2) because this is such an unconventionally (tame) appropriate piece of advice from Louis that can’t really be translated without me watering down his humor or butchering the punch line (which I have a tendency to do according to my loving husband, the devoted father of my children).

Link to Louis CK on fatherhood.

What was it like for you as a new mom?

The second Sex and the City movie may not have been as good as the first, but I loved the part when Miranda and Charlotte vented on the challenges of motherhood (over cocktails, of course). Check out the clip!

Mr. Mom

20 Thursday Oct 2011

Posted by Jackie in Little Links

≈ 2 Comments

Are you a working mom? I realize it’s an oxymoron. Being
a mom is work. And it’s the toughest
job around. But I’m talking about moms who also work out of the home. If you
just went back to work or have worked out of the home since the dawn of time,
work part-time or full-time, you too are a rock star. How do you balance the
insanity? Have you ever showed up at the office wearing two different shoes? With
deodorant on your skirt? Cleaning up the conference table like Terri Garr in
Mr. Mom?

I want to hear your side, your take, your story.  Please share!

(I used to tweeze my eyebrows in between traffic
lights. I heard a radio listener once complain about a “crazy lady”
doing this during the morning commute. I’m almost positive he was talking about
me!)

A clip from one of my favorite 80’s movies, Mr. Mom!

Cluelessness

19 Wednesday Oct 2011

Posted by Jackie in General Mommentary, Little Links, Uncategorized

≈ 4 Comments

When you become a new parent, you’re clueless. It’s an inevitable truth in life. I’ll never forget when we accidentally washed our new baby boy’s clothes in regular laundry detergent. Baby Calvin broke out all over, and was bawling louder than any other newborn in Seattle. I had already washed his new outfits in Dreft and his father was just trying to wash everything again to make sure it was extra clean. How was he to know, right? (It took me hours to put together the Diaper Genie for the first time. I was in tears, begging for my husband’s help. We were both about to throw the thing out the window of our one-bedroom apartment.) We were all clueless once. And maybe we still are clueless no matter what our kids’ ages? Speaking of clueless parents, this is a funny new show: Up All Night with Christina Applegate and Will Arnett. It’s a sitcom about…you guessed it, new (and clueless) parents! This show (and Modern Family and 30 Rock) are my temporary friends when the kids (and my husband) are fast asleep and I’m suffering from my O M goodness I’m-so-40-now-hormone-induced insomnia. Check it out.
You HAVE to watch this clip and tell me what you think.  Please share your favorite memory of being a clueless parent!
