other people's blogs

This week I've browsed a few other mommyblogs. I ran across one or two that sounded just like me - cadence of the words and the rhythm of writing and all. I kept thinking "Did I write this?"

Except that it was really funny. Every single post had me in stitches.

Of course I didn't write that. I'm not nearly that funny.

I wish I were.

*sigh*

Maybe I'm not so hilarious because my child isn't quite big enough for the antics that fuel the funny bone of other mom-writers. My kid isn't toppling out of shopping carts, or making science projects yet.

Nope, the biggest drama my child has created is successfully making mommy nauseated for nearly four months, and watching her tearfully pack up 2/3 of her wardrobe into big white plastic bags for storage until she can fit them again.

[Of course, that particular trauma has been slightly offset by the sudden and pressing emergency need to go find cute new clothes (on SALE of course!) that will fit for a good while longer. We must take our silver linings wherever we can, right?]

But in a few months, you know, this child will actually be born. And who knows what kind of stunts will inspire my pen?
