« Grieving: 2.5 Months | Main | Hi »
Is there anything better than a cute, 21 year old respiratory therapist asking if you're married and then looking slightly disappointed that you are? Especially if he is shocked that you're a MOM and will turn 30 this year. Especially if he thought you were the same age and then he calls you "hot mama" and you have the following conversation:
"How tall are you?"
"Five ten."
"You're as tall as my mom."
(pause)
"You're hotter than my mom, though."

Today I learned from the internet that reading everything through an RSS reader (which I do basically all the time) can really suck, because I love this banner so much that I am totally going to steal it and make... [Read More]

William Sears: The Attachment Parenting Book : A Commonsense Guide to Understanding and Nurturing Your Baby
If you learned about AP through any source but this book, you may have learned WRONG. I read this book mainly out of curiousity and was stunned at how much sense it made.
Andrea J. Buchanan: Mother Shock: Loving Every (Other) Minute of It
What every new mom needs. This is one of the books that I give at baby showers. It's so important for you to know that you are not alone.
Anne Lamott: Operating Instructions: A Journal of My Son's First Year
You are not alone. Not all of us are content, happy, and glowing with new motherhood. Some of us are barely hanging on.
Jim Fay: Love and Logic Magic for Early Childhood: Practical Parenting from Birth to Six Years
I would be tearing my hair out if I didn't have the techniques taught in this book. This book has given me tools to teach and love my kids without losing my mind.
Adele Faber: Siblings Without Rivalry: How to Help Your Children Live Together So You Can Live Too
Mandatory reading if you have sibling issues from way back or if you're on child #2. It seems like this book simply gives you common sense, but some of us need that help.

Tell him to meet me on the field of honor, if he is any kind of man.
Swords or pistols, his choice.
On the other hand, it is understandable. You ARE smokin' hot.
Very well. The lad may live. I forgive . . . but I will not forget.
From Linda:
If it helps, we were chatting and he immediately left me to hit on a cute tech. I heard him ask, "Are you married?" as he followed her down the hall.

How cute!
Posted by: Shalini | August 28, 2006 at 02:17 PM
That is fantastic! You're a MILF!
Posted by: Mary | August 28, 2006 at 03:55 PM
Wow! That has to boost the old self-esteem. You've still got it!
Posted by: Bev | August 28, 2006 at 04:09 PM
I like that your husband was willin gto go to bat for your honor. Nice touch.
Posted by: Lance Hulsey | August 28, 2006 at 04:49 PM
Hee hee, cute! I love that A is such a chivalrous guy, too. :)

All that running must be paying off!
Posted by: Sarah | August 28, 2006 at 08:14 PM
Awesome! :)

That's even better than getting carded for beer.
Amazing stuff.

I work at a furniture store and was once asked out on a date (he called specifically for that purpose) by a customer. I politely said "I'm flattered and my husband is flattered" to which he replied he hadn't noticed my ring.
(this all would have been MUCH more flattering if he had not been nearing 40 and still living with his mom!)
I loved A's reply!
Posted by: Mama | August 28, 2006 at 10:55 PM
ahhhhh, they are soo cute at that age! love your hubby's response. my husband would have packed my bags and offered him $20 for a case of beer.
Posted by: Nikki | August 29, 2006 at 09:38 AM
That lasik is paying off.
Posted by: Diana | August 29, 2006 at 10:07 AM
Wow, that's way better than having a teenager whistle at you from his car when you're waiting to cross the street! And that made MY day ;-)
Posted by: LizM | August 29, 2006 at 11:32 AM
"You're hotter than my mom" is one of those flirtatious phrases that is best left implied, not stated outright.
Posted by: Summer | August 29, 2006 at 11:58 AM
That's SO awesome. I went through a Brew-thru (have you seen these?) in NC on our last vacation. The young Ukranian guy had a sweet smile so I jokingly said to everyone in the car that he was flirting with me. My PARTNER said I was old enough to be his mother. I'm ONLY 35!!!! Jeesh. NO ONE flirts with me, you lucky (and YOUNG) thing.

Wonderful. Days like that rock. :)
Posted by: Holly | August 29, 2006 at 04:14 PM
Yay for you!
Posted by: Jill | August 29, 2006 at 04:36 PM
i would SO like to see husband A with a sword OR a pistol....all in the name of love.
Posted by: karla | August 30, 2006 at 10:59 PM
very nice!
Posted by: JK | August 31, 2006 at 12:48 AM
Ha!
And I agree with Summer.
Posted by: Moxie | August 31, 2006 at 08:54 AM
Fantastic!!
Posted by: nancy | August 31, 2006 at 11:44 PM
Man, the last guy to hit on me was 17, which is not nearly as cool.
Posted by: Beth | September 01, 2006 at 10:43 AM
wahoo. that's fantastic. :)
Posted by: suze | September 01, 2006 at 01:02 PM
you don't look a day over 18. i'm surprised he didn't ask, "Are you legal?"
Posted by: keith | September 06, 2006 at 04:29 AM
Awww, I love that story!
