Yippee yippee! I got tagged AGAIN — by gorgeous Gwen! LOVE. Only this one was a little too intense for my state of mind right now. I really don’t want to think too much. Rephrase: I don’t want to think AT ALL. I’m way preggo hormonal. And, my head is too stuffed up and dizzy and achy, etc., to make much sense of anything. So, you’re just going to have to bear with my response to this meme-tag. (Thanks in advance….)
Here’s what I’m supposed to do: Put up a post entitled “Real Moms [insert what you do here].” Then, explain, add pictures, and tag 5 peeps. Because I’m soooo lazy right now, I chose to give you several of the little things Real Moms do, instead of one biggie. So, check it!
1. REAL MOMS get haircuts once in a blue moon (heaven forbid they should make pampering a regular thing!), and they take pictures of themselves in silly poses and post them on their blog for fun….


Like my “magnum” (bottom left)? Yes, I’m really happy with this haircut. And, I LOVED my scalp massage….Oy, note to self: do this more often.
2. REAL MOMS put stickers on their daughter’s nose and leave them there all day without her noticing (hee!)….

3. REAL MOMS love their kitties beyond…

…attack their kitties with kisses…

…and let them (and any other cheaty little monkey) drink the rest of their water (grrrr…)….

4. REAL MOMS wear Lululemons…every…single…day.

6. REAL MOMS happen to LOVE the show Miss BG (help. me.)!

5. REAL MOMS think their child is the most beautiful, adorable thing in the world….

I tag 5 most excellent REAL MOMS: Ali, Fenicle, S@m, Rebecca, LD.

HAPPY FOURTH ANNIVERSARY, JOSH-O! I LOVE YOU!!! XOXO, MOI

REAL MOMS LOVE their celebrity gossip! Check it — at Cheaty’s Celebrity Gossip.

I like the bottom-right photo of you. And, by the way, sometimes real moms are dads.
Gwen said, March 23rd, 2007 at 12:07 am
Love the hair, and the cat (my husband shares his milk with the cats) and I have to tell you I love Mis BG as well. She was so me. A tomboy a bit bossy and an older sister.
I also loves me some good gossip. You keep me posted.

Haley-O, happy 4th anniversary!
I love your hair, so gorgeous! I can’t remember when Ihad my last haircut. Did I have a haircut? I can’t remember that long. IT was so long ago!
SciFi Dad said, March 23rd, 2007 at 5:51 am
Happy Anniversary Haley.
And I’m with denguy… bottom right photo is the most flattering (looks like someone else took it whereas the other three look like self-portraits)
Rebecca said, March 23rd, 2007 at 6:49 am
My name is BG and I play in a tree, I have plenty of friends who are crazy bout me… I’ve never seen that show. Yet. Today. My kids are wild about Wonderpets, too.
I kissed my cat in front of my mother yesterday and she was so repulsed. Apparently, she doesn’t believe in kissing pets. Poor her.
Hey, good! I was hoping someone would tag me with that. Your new haircut is super cute.
Laural said, March 23rd, 2007 at 7:08 am
I’m such a dork. I started to cry when I read your post. (I have no idea why) other than it was kind of corny and cute. AND thanks for the tag. I have to think it through. But I will post later today. I have no idea when since I’ll be chasing Matt today instead of sitting at work in front of the computer all day.

Kisses and hugs!
Haley said, March 23rd, 2007 at 8:07 pm
Happy Anniversary, and I couldn’t help but notice in the last pic that Miss Monkey’s curls are still ridiculously intact from that haircut she got. Nice job!
B said, March 23rd, 2007 at 8:40 pm
Happy Anniversary!
Multi-tasking Mommy said, March 23rd, 2007 at 9:29 pm
Oh, so real moms don’t wear stickers on their own noses that their daughters place there? I guess I’m not a real mom then
That makes me feel sad….
Tug said, March 23rd, 2007 at 9:33 pm
Happy Anni!! Love the pics, as always…such an awesome fam.
Melissa R. Garrett said, March 24th, 2007 at 9:45 am
Happy Anniversary!!
Haircuts? What are those? I love the look of horror whenever I go in and tell the hairdresser it’s my once annual trim. HA!
Jenifer G. said, March 24th, 2007 at 11:36 am
My girls love Miss BG. It is better than most shows I guess. They are pretty flexible though as long as it is on Treehouse or TVO they are fine.
Love the haircut! So nice. I am trying to balance the need to indulge with the single income thing (not to mention) all the other expenses that I deem necessary, like eating out!
Best friend just announced this is preggers with baby number three last night. I can’t get it out of my mind.
Take care my friend. Lots of steam to clear your head. It really works.
Sandra said, March 24th, 2007 at 4:16 pm
Super fab photos!!! I once left a sticker on my son all day too.
Fenicle said, March 24th, 2007 at 8:51 pm
A scalp massage? Fav part! Loved the photo’s of your hair. Very nice. I finished my “real mom’s”…thanks for the tag.

Teena in Toronto said, March 25th, 2007 at 2:39 pm
Hey! Being a real mom sounds like fun! Wait a minute, I’ve read your other posts and it’s not always like this, is it?!?!
molecularturtle said, March 25th, 2007 at 6:51 pm
