I feel the same way about TV. You have kids, I have the graveyard shift. Now I watch morning talk shows and skinny Drew Carey on The Price is Right. I agree about the cool pillows, I always flip mine throughout the night to get the cold side. My parents divorced when I was in 1st grade. My mom used to say that she was happy when we were with our dad so that she could get a break. I wonder if the other feeling is true, if she ever wished we didn't go to our dad's place. Being Chinese and not sharing our emotions, it wouldn't be something I'd ask her now. Glad you're able to express your feelings to Peanut, she'll remember it in the long run.

This post made my day! Hilarious! I'm a school nurse for a class of special education kids (K-6) and we are so glad we don't do field trips. Today I got yogurt all over me, to think if that was experienced outdoors for everyone to see. That would be horrible. Kudos to you for making it the whole trip. I hope Peanut enjoyed her gift. Very happy to see that Babble recognized your blog. Happy Birthday to Peanut!

So glad to see that you will be posting here more. Can't wait for the book to come out. Thinking of a book tour yet? too early? Did the new girlfriend happen to be the girl in the car next to you picking her nose that you tweeted about?
