Balancing Motherhood And Other Creative Acts

We don’t watch television in our little household, and not just because the box we’ve got doesn’t work (though we get plenty of screen time from the ‘puters). So I didn’t realize that today was Superbowl Sunday…until we visited my folks. They weren’t watching it, but it came up in coversation. One of my nieces (12 going on 25) was over at the time. The girl is perpetually stunned by my cluelessness, when it comes to mainstream pop culture. It amuses me to no end.

This weekend the little man and I had some fun with ArtPad, as pointed out by RobotJohnny (his is my favorite). Another great timewaster, indeed.

The new Mamaphonic book is out now. This brings two thoughts to mind:
1) I need to buy a copy;
2) I need to get my ass in gear, with the following-through business (writing and editing and submitting my work to various publications).

When I woke up this morning I was so tired I ached from head to toe. My entire body felt like a giant bruise. I’m not sure why. But I feel better now. Just in time to go back to bed.

Bonus: Hiroshima Carps or How to scare Japanese with big faces is freaking hilarious. Seriously.
Plus: Flickr isn’t the only photo sharing site I peruse. I could easily get hooked on Fotologue out of Japan. See what I mean.
And: Seeing “Low’s all time high” made me smile, and reminded me I still need to seek out a little man sitter for next Saturday’s show. Crap.
