2 in 1.

And no, this isn’t a gross post about that nasty video gone viral. (Mom, do not click that hyperlink) (Link is SFW as it’s just the wiki article)

Here’s my post this week on B-Metro. I wrote it in a parking lot. Such is my life these days.

I’m sitting in my car in the parking lot of a Starbucks using their free internet that cost me exactly 4 dollars and 90 cents. This is the mommy version of how cool you thought you were in college when you’d wear sweat pants and a homecoming tee to the coffee house of your choice and pretend to study while slouched in a knock-off leather chair drinking iced mochas.

We all know you were on Facebook.

And it’s ok, because I am too right now.

But in grown-up land, this is called “responsibility” and “multi-tasking”. Also of relation - “stressed”, as this is my only option since Conner is currently dropped off at his weekly speech lesson leaving Chase and I to stay in the general area. It’s just enough time to not be able to do anything, but slightly past the time one would find acceptable for sitting in the car and picking at split ends.

Read the rest, in which I tell you how my life DOES go (for now) after the jump.

Funny thing about the photo - it’s mine.

That’s right, I take my OWN stock photos.

I have a folder on my computer full of pictures of random items - marbles (because if I have to keep them somewhere, why not on my computer?), food, stairs (clearly), shells, you know… nouns. Photo stock websites get pricey, google searches either blow or you have to deal with credits. Why not make your own? I started with a few random shots, you know, the ones you’d normally delete or the ones your kids took. Actually, one of my favorite/best stock photos is one Conner took of my printer printing a post out of mine!

So there you go. Two posts in one. What has this world come to.
