Braden’s Hiney has the day off, folks.
I knew you would be disappointed, so I’m whipping out The Rack to soften the blow.
Apparently, an upside-down ketchup bottle can build up some pressure…
Look at how The Rack narrowly avoided disaster!
Watch out, Rack! *gasp*
As for the mess, I got up most of it with my finger, but there was some left.
I’m not one for wasting, so…
Oh, alright, fine. I’ll stop being gross. Just for a few seconds.
The Really Wordy Portion of today’s post (aka Boob and Cooter Info):
The (Breast)feeding Carnival is scheduled for Tuesday, March 11th. I used the ( ) because I want to open it to anyone telling their story about how they feed/fed their babies. This can be about breastfeeding/pumping/bottle feeding, etc. Just tell your story. Posts with tips on these subjects are more than welcome also. If you plan to participate, you can display any of these buttons, and please link to this page ( http://sarcasticmom.com/?page_id=269 ) to other people can find out more about what’s going on and join in.
Additionally, the Birth Story Carnival is scheduled for Monday, March 24th. As with the other, I welcome all types of stories here. Whatever your child’s birth story is like, tell it! And you don’t have to be the one who did the birthing to join in – I would LOVE for Dads to step up and tell the birth story of their child(ren) from their POV. And if you adopted, talk about that, too, guys! This is basically just a chance for us to share the stories of how our families grew/came to be/evolved. If you plan to participate, you can display any of these buttons, and please link to this page ( http://sarcasticmom.com/?page_id=270 ).
End of Boob and Cooter Info.
Have a lovely Wednesday, all!

I was not planning on participating, but I think I might hafta, since I have not blogged about birthing either of my children and I know they will be disappointed when they grow up if they can not find the stories of me pushing them out of my cooter anywhere on the internets. I am going to do it for my childrens. Tee hee.

Hey

I was doing o.k. I was going to say something witty about THE RACK and ketchup and all that. I was feeling good about today’s ration of RACKage and then, then I saw the comment from WRIGHT. It said, “imagine if you had been one cup size larger.” So right now my head is spinning with imaginings of the inflated RACK – bigger and better than ever – swimming around in my head. Swimming … never mind.

I nursed so many for so long that I have no idea where to begin with a nursing story! The early days with the first? The last days with the last (give me my body back!!!) or all the empowering monents in between? Hmmmm… maybe just a series of nursing clips. Yeah, my funny nursing anecdotes!

I always SWORE I would not be one of those Moms who shared her labor stories in front of everyone in the office, but then, this isn’t really the office, is it? Count me in.
This from the woman who swore never to tell poop stories and blogs about poop on an almost daily basis. (At least that’s how it feels to me!)

#42 by BusyDad on March 6, 2008 - 2:27 AM
Next time I decide to lick a restaurant table, I’ll remember to add ketchup. I bet it makes it taste a whole lot better.
As for birth story? Well, I’ll never forget that I answered a phone call from a prospective employer while in the delivery room. Let me rephrase that. My wife will never let me forget it.

Hubby shook a closed salad dressing bottle once.
Without holding the cap.
Why should he, bottle was closed, no?
Yes it was, but the lid didn’t hold the pressure.
Go figure
