.. you thought it couldn't get any worse: ant invasion in the basement and Tadpole is shrieking her head off.

ARRRRRRRRRGH!

My dear,
You do not know me, but I have been reading your LJ for a week or two and have decided that we would make good, supportive 'e-friends' for each other. Plus, you make me laugh something awful, which is a treat indeed for a busy mom. So, if you don't mind...*friend!* In return, I will mentally wish away those nasty ants -- though I must warn you that this approach to dealing with insects has not worked on the Very Fierce Wasp who considers the back porch his home, so you may want to have bug spray ready, just in case.

Feel free to look over my LJ, and you'll see that I am also a mother, but with 4 little ones (who I call my Padawans/Apprentices, depending on if I feel they are attuned to the Light or Dark Side of the Force, of course): 8yr, 4yr, 2yr and a baby. I live in Denver, Colorado, next to the Rocky Mountains and smack in the middle/left of the USA. 2 days ago it was 80, today it's snowing. *shrug*

Thanks for the entertaining LJ!

oooh! Thank you for the kind note! *g* Am very happy to make your acquaintance, I've been looking for other busy moms to share my adventures with, so I am all the more pleased. :)

*wanders off to friend Skye*

*and comes back to give Skye the gold medal she deserves* Oh, lordy. 4 little ones. Am suitably impressed.

I am just coming back from your LJ (Fast trip, but rush hour draws near - bath, brush teeth, tell story, kiss goodnight, hunt for lost teddy bear, kiss goodnight again, hug goodnight, get glass of water, kiss goodnight, beeep, start over with second child. How you manage with 4 is beyond me), and oh boy, I love your sense of humour :D ! I'm so pleased you came this way.

I was just made aware that you are not a native speaker -- my goodness, you are an accomplished woman! Having traveled and lived foreign (Venezuela), I give you congratulations for staying sane.

(And my grand Trump of a Mommie Trick about bedtime at my house: Mini M&Ms! Not as a bribe, of course: but everyone deserves a reward, especially Very Good and Patient Mommies.)

*blushes* oh, but I'm glad to be here, it was entirely my choice, so I better stay sane. At least a little longer.

Venezuela, you say? Ooh, that must have been interesting. How long did you stay? Where you there with the kids? I spent two years in Great Britain right after I finished University, and I find the experience of living in a foreign country very different when you have kids, so I'm curious.

Mini M&Ms. Hum. Sounds good. Because we're worth it. *g*
