Sometimes he makes me turn my head so fast at what he’s saying that I should be wearing a neck brace.

Don’t expect her to enter into a debate about the Iraq War. This is the woman who thought the Hanoi Hilton was a real hotel, ok?

I need a blogroll.

So, since the little ones are currently coloring and fighting over crayons (what else is new), I can steer the blog back to the stated direction.A few working moms have asked me "How do you do it? I would go crazy at home with just the kids."

Princess E, my dear daughter of three years, is a "eat on the runner". That is, she'll sit down to breakfast, or lunch, eat a bit, excuse herself, run around, then expects to come back to the table with everything the same as she left it.

Apparently this woman really loved her bathroom. I wish I liked my bathroom this much - in fact, a couple pillows in the tub might make it actually liveable for at least a couple of days....but I digress.Yes, thie womean sat on the toilet for TWO YEARS.

I've got a tremendous amount of topics, as you know the life of a stay at home mom is NEVER dull, but haven't had the time to actually sit down and write about them because of these non-ceasing exciting events.As many of you may know, I also run a bath and body products business.

The birthday cupcakes. Last year, I passed the test of providing SNACKS so this year, while not a breeze, at least I knew what to expect.Mr. C, is turning five on March 8th. Since he has all these little friends, or "his children" as he calls them, we decided to have a bit of a celebration at school.

This week, the goddess welcomes the return of the stomach flu to her household. I simply cannot describe the happiness I felt when Mr. J showed me dinner again, in the middle of the kitchen floor.

And I happened to view a really good one this very morning, on one of those thousands of encore channels. The Taking of Pelham 123. In fact, this movie is soooo good that they're remaking it next year with Denzel Washington and John Travolta. Which just goes to show that the folks in Hollywood have run out of ideas.....have all the Black Domestic Goddesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08508527878014425713noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37073023.post-33691540154902698622008-02-11T10:21:00.000-05:002008-02-11T10:32:45.830-05:00Goddess Sleeps on Grammys - Big Mistake!!As I've often written here, as a woman of a certain age, the music today just doesn't grab me like the stuff of the 80s. Certainly, each generation has its own beats, and I'm sure that the music we listened to grated on the nerves of the flower children of the 70s. The one complaint that I have about today's music is its just about performance, not about the music.

Let's do a quick catch up on the goddess' life so that you can finally exhale.First of all, I caught the last half or so of Dreamgirls (the movie). Now you know the goddess dotes on her three little ones and hardly takes the time out to sleep and almost never goes to the movies (why, it's coming on cable soon anyway!!)Black Domestic Goddesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08508527878014425713noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37073023.post-83714139534439627082008-01-10T16:35:00.000-05:002008-01-10T16:50:07.204-05:00Clutter, Clutter and more ClutterDear readers, I really hate to tell you this, but the Goddess is a collector. Collector of books, collector of magazines, I am the queen of "I might need this someday."Well, no more. The goddess has taken this day to don her stylish vinyl gloves and attack the so-called tool cabinet in the basement. Not only did she clear out the cabinet to the bones and create a semblance of order (a semblance, Black Domestic Goddesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08508527878014425713noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37073023.post-77279195177343733432008-01-06T19:41:00.001-05:002008-02-25T19:29:34.084-05:00Gotta Love Those TurtlesAs you all know, the Goddess loves the Comcast Turtles - Mr. Slowsky is so wonderfully rude.
