Welcome back!
Get ready for the If Mama Don’t Laugh, It Ain’t Funny Blog Tour! On April 27th, we will have a virtual visit from syndicated humor columnist, Lucy Adams. She is a mother of four who blogs, teaches second grade, and manages to breathe and wash clothes in her “spare time.” I have thoroughly enjoyed her new book, If Mama Don’t Laugh, It Ain’t Funny, chuckling the whole way. I guarantee you will enjoy her humorous take on everyday life as a mom. You’ll also enjoy her website at IfMama.com.
Lucy has graciously sent an If Mama Don’t Laugh, It Ain’t Funny cap to give away to one lucky reader. Just comment on this post with one of your humorous “mom” stories for your chanceto win the official cap. Perhaps something along the lines of my story: Upon discovering we were out of milk yesterday morning, I opened up my daughter’s sippy cup (from the night before), poured milk into my coffee, and drank it before wondering if that might not be a little odd!
Now it’s your turn!

I’ve got one. Took my kids hiking and here’s how it went. http://marshamaung.blogspot.com/2009/04/conversation-with-kids-during-hiking.html
LOL Marsha, my daughter is not talking yet, but my turn is coming!
When my daughter was about a month old she used to pass gass often and loud. One day I was with her at the store and she ripped a loud one just as an older lady was passing by. She didn’t say anything but looked at me very meanly. How was I going to expalain that it wasn’t me, it was this sleeping 7 pound baby in the car seat? LOL
Well, this is a looong funny story, but straight from my blog. One of the funniest things that’s happened to me in a while:
I was all geared up for another sick day with the kid and was making him some eggs when I hear a loud noise from the laundry room. Apparently when I started laundry, I didn’t realize that DH had put the new HUGE size detergent half on the washer and half on the counter next to the washer. Well, it had fallen during the spin cycle and the cap broke and it splashed all over the place. Our doggie sleeps in there and thankfully it hadn’t fallen on her and she ran out after it happened, but it had splashed all over her, all over the laundry room, and was glug glug glugging a river all over her favorite blanket and the rest of everything else on the floor. Well then she comes in after me and, well, bless her heart because she’s blind, she steps on and knocks over her water bowl and it runs into the detergent, which is super slippery and I slip and fall into the detergent mess. Meanwhile, my son, NO KIDDING, is talking to me about Star Wars and is trying to give me a LIGHT SABER so we can play. He’s SIX! He can’t see that I am wallowing in laundry detergent, trying to get up. So I yell at him that I CAN’T PLAY RIGHT NOW and he starts crying and so that adds to the funness of this sitch.
My dog has detergent on her fur, so I get her into the bath and she’s trying to climb out and shaking her fur all over at the same time and I am just like thinking “this is hell, there really IS a hell and this is it” and my cat comes into the bathroom sniffing around and then the dog goes really nuts and jumps out of the tub and I’m chasing down slippery, wet dog and finally got her rinsed and somewhat dry.
Here’s one of my favorites from my blog – enjoy!: http://www.everymomneedsawife.com/every-mom-needs-a-wife/2009/04/tiny-little-sweet-pee.html
