Private Lives of Nashville Wives: premiere on TNT

So last night was the premiere episode of the new TV show Private Lives of Nashville Wives! It airs every Monday night on TNT at 10/9c. Did you tune in last night?! There was a twitter party, too, with the Nashville Wives!

Set in and around the capital of the high-stakes country music business, Private Lives of Nashville Wives will follow a group of accomplished, opinionated and driven women as they deal with professional challenges, family issues and social relationships.

It starts out with some great clips that got me interested… “behind every

Whatever makes you laugh

Ya know how sometimes things are just SO BAD all you can do is laugh? Because otherwise you’d cry. Like flying with a toddler? lol. Yea, that post will come. I need to save up energy just to think about that experience again, haha.

This is a stupid story. But it was really funny (and terrible) at the moment, so I’m sharing it.

I went over to my mom’s to pick up Ryan this morning–he had a sleepover there last night. Our cats are out of food and I didn’t feel like going to

I.Am.Livid. Do you have no heart?

I just came across a blog where the mama wrote about the recent death of her baby boy. This baby boy had CHD (congenital heart defect), which resulted in death.

Then I discovered all the talk around the web about it. And I became pissed.

THIS MOTHER JUST LOST HER SON. HER BABY.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT CIRCUMCISION.

I don’t care

Mommy’s new vocabulary

Yes, it’s true that I’ve said “poop” more times in the last 8 months than I’ve said in my previous 25 years of life–or some form of it: poo, stinkies, poopoo, stinky butt, doodoo, or if I’m feeling really crazy it’s “did stinky butt go poopoodooooodiddly doodoo?”

The same is true for farts. Toots, tootoos, poot, pooty, stinky… and it’s no wonder children grow up to think poop and farts are silly–every time I hear one of them come from my tiny lil boy, I get a huge smile (ya, who would have thought?!)
