My friend, Angela, has a new blog titled "Secrets of a Super Mommy. It's really cute and she really is a "Super Mommy" with all the creative things she does with her kids.
In contrast, I am thinking I need a blog called "Mysteries of a Mommy Villain" or something like that. (Super Mommy vs. Mommy Villain - catchy eh?) I could share all of my great ideas for being a bad Mom. It would really inspire the masses, I am sure. Take this for example:
No-No #1: Baby in the Bumbo, sitting on the kitchen counter. Woops.
No-No #2: Baby playing with a plastic grocery bag. Oopsie.
Don't you think I could really have something here? Essays about my tummy-to-sleep babies. How-to lists on saving time and money: only change a diaper if it's poopy, if it doesn't stink, don't bathe it, etc. And a clever bit on the subject of television and video games being the new frontier in babysitting. I could even host weekly giveaways!
... except after 5 weeks I'd be all out of kids to give away.
I think this idea has real promise.
On the other hand, I think I'm starting to learn a few things. Here's a few tips I've picked up along the way:

Bwahahahaha! I'm with you, Angie! By the time you get to five, you relax a little! I always joke that I went from Baby #1: washing the baby off every time anyone BREATHED on her, to Babies #4 & #5: let the dog lick off the remaining germs! (Just kidding)
Love it, Love it, Love it!!! I would be a faithful reader!!
I LOVE Avery's expression in that photo- priceless! By the way, you have got to be the best "worst" Mommy I know! And, even though I have seen the Dos & Don'ts before, I still laughed my head off, they are so funny!!
PS- how's the move coming? Wish we were closer, so we could give you a hand.
I love the do's and dont's list. I've seen it before, but it's definitely funny! I totally put Miriam on the counter in the bumbo too. HA!
Good luck getting everything moved.
I love it! I feel like such a terrible mom sometimes! I get looks of horror from some of my friends who find out that Autumn only gets bathed three times a week as opposed to everyday. (Ok, I'll be honest, some weeks it's only twice!) Today, I over extended a diaper cause I thought it could go a little longer only to pick Autumn up and realize that she was soaked from the waist down. I could definitely contribute to the "Bad Mommy" blog!
And I actually have that book that those images come from. I got it at a baby shower and was in tears from laughing so hard!
I think all of us have had our "bad" mommy moments. (And I think as long as the baby is supervised, the Bumbo is fine. Kian sits on my dryer while I do stuff in the laundry room but he is really twisty so he can get out of it if I'm not right there.) You are a wonderful, caring mom!
I watched that cartoon at the bottom for a good three minutes straight. Awesome. Look at all these things you are teaching me to be prepared for.
