I laughed SOOOO hard!

In case you didn’t see it earlier on TV this morning, here you go:

While I *get* what she’s saying, I hate this idea that you have to be “engaged” with your children at all times. You can’t be. You just can’t.

I used to loooooove this show… But Tyra has apparently been bathing in too much crazy juice. She’s all over the place.

Anybody else finding the show a little tiresome this season?

No, not my Supernanny. The TV Supernanny. The poor woman who is on tonight, I know her. I mean, I don’t know her. But I know someone just like her. Literally to a tee, the laughing, the excuses the whole bit. Am anxious to see what happens…

Help a blogger out?

b5media is hosting a contest on the Entertainment Channel where I also write Gossip Girl Report about, well, Gossip Girl.

The current challenge is poll-related. I have an easy peasy poll in my sidebar on the site. All you have to do is a click a button and vote!

For more info on the choices (if you’re so inclined), you can read the post here.

My kids are crazy nuts about Bindi the Jungle Girl - the show starring Bindi Irwin (the Crocodile Hunter’s daughter). We watch nearly every episode. And that “Bindi the Jungle Girl” song is constantly in my head.

Today, the kids were watching the show and the girls decided that they wanted to play the characters.

Katie says, “Mom, we’re going to play Bindi. I’ll be Bindi. Amy says she’ll be the dad because he talks a lot.”

Amy knows herself to a tee.

The show, not the guy.  I mean, the guy’s pretty creepy but I don’t know enough about him to write a whole post.  But the girls on that show?  The ones claiming to be falling in love in all of about 10 seconds?  Weeping about wanting to get married and destiny and nonsense?  I don’t get it.

I was talking today with a friend about marriage and what it means (a friend of ours  just got married last weekend).  And it’s weird to me how people associate the idea of being married with happiness and not so much the relationship itself.  That’s a mistake.  And I think that’s what those desperate-sounding girls on the show are doing.

Ick and shudder.

This is priceless. Just priceless.

Despite the fact that I told Chris no more blogs, I couldn’t help myself.  I had given up Kids Dish earlier (to the very talented girlfiend) because I was finding it difficult to continue to dream up creative entries about food and kids.  Perhaps it was because I was also finding it difficult to deal with food and kids.  But that’s another story.

Skip ahead.  The blogging is going smoothly - taxgirl.com is loads of fun to write and I’m really enjoying my kids’ book blog (I’m going to interview Meg Cabot!  I’m going to interview Meg Cabot!).  I’m constantly scouring the press releases from the publishers to write for the book blog - and I found out about Gossip Girl.  And I was really intrigued.  It was being turned into a TV series for the CW, which kind of re-ignited interest in the books which I missed the first go round (which is why I mentioned it on my site well after its debut).

At any rate, I started following the book series - and the show - and a little ad happened to catch my eye for a Gossip Girl blogger.  Oh yeah.  I couldn’t help myself.  I applied.  I got it.  So if you’re into the drama, check it out at www.gossipgirlreport.com.  It’s so retro-90210.  And I’m loving it.
