Today in Mom News: Olympian Mommas
Babble has a nice list up of all the Olympians who are also moms. Out of 207 women in the winter Olympics, only 15 have kids, and most of them are curlers–including Canada’s Kristie Moore, who is competing in Vancouver while she’s 5 months preggo. Yahoo’s Shine wonders if Olympians are too competitive to be moms, a pretty silly question if you ask me. What do you think about moms who are also Olympic athletes? Did you ever spend a lot of time training for an amateur athletic event (a marathon, a swim competition) as a mom? How did you balance your free time with your athletic pursuits? [Babble, Shine]
Figuring Out Google Buzz

Hand-Me-Down Bras
Mom: Don’t forget to look through your sister’s old bras to see if any fit you. They don’t fit her anymore (since her recent weight gain, ahem) but I figured you could take some.
Me: Looking through right now… Uh these are def too big for me :/
Mom: Well you could always take them anyways just in case.
Me: In case of what?
Mom: I dunno, maybe one day you’ll get a boob job and need some bigger bras.
Me: Are you saying I need a boob job? Gee thanks.
Mom: ya never know
Dessert Psychological Warfare
So, I just made brownies and they came out as thin as pancakes! When I serve them tomorrow night, say, “Oh. you made miniature chocolate bites! I love them!”. They taste good and, if you don’t think of them as brownies, they’re fine!

President of the I Can’t Stand David Cassidy Fan Club
Backstory: My mom was forced to see David Cassidy in concert, hated it, and wrote him a letter. This is an excerpt.
You stated several times during the night that you were sick with some unknown illness. I can only assume that that illness consisted of having a large head, small penis and being a huge ass. I cannot believe a person like you exists and I am quite curious to know what the hell is wrong with you.
I have been going to concerts for 30 years and I am thankful that I can finally say, with all sincerity, that your performance was the worst, most horrible and utterly insufferable concert I have ever seen in my entire life.
Your truly,
President of the I Can’t Stand David Cassidy Fan Club
Embracing the Black Sheep
Backstory: Typical gifts to me from my brother include an air mattress inflater (I don’t own an air mattress), a vinyl Playboy purse, and a used Maglight
I KNOW that I am SUCH a Mother – control-freak – however: please remember to get your brother a card, do not need to get a gift. A home-made from the computer or otherwise would be great. I know that he can be delinquent at times with tangible things BUT, at times, he seems to live on the perifory(?) of our family relationships and I want us to really embrace and focus on him for his 30th B’day. It is a ‘Mother thing’ and I promise that y’all are not left out of the ‘Mother thing’ at certain times. Better stop, while I THINK? I am ahead! XOXOXO MAMA
Today in Mom News: Momma the Nudist
The website Babble has an essay in its “most viewed” column in which a mom says that she is going to be naked in front of her sons, even when they become teenagers. She is careful to note that she has very strict parameters involving her nudity, but that if her kids “stumble upon me in a state of undress, so be it. If they don’t want to get an eyeful—they will learn to knock.” What do you think about this mom’s declaration of nudity? When did you stop being naked around your own kids? [Babble]
