I miss my mom. It’s now been almost 11 years since she passed away and in some ways it feels like it was just yesterday.
I was ten-weeks pregnant with Son No. 1 when I got the phone call that she died. Before that day, whenever I watched a movie where people were given bad news and then collapsed, I would roll my eyes.
I don't get Foursquare. I mean I get that you can save money or unlock rewards but I just don't get it. When you check in with Foursquare you're essentially telling the internet:
a) You're not at home: Hey! Look at me! I just checked into a hotel in the Bahamas which means my house is empty and everything is ripe for the taking.
or
b) Where you are: Hey! Look at me! I'm grocery shopping at Big Box Grocery Store—come stalk me.
Here's the Inside Scoop on Valentine's Day at my house. I don't get my kids chocolate or candy and I've stopped with the stuffies because I'm now at the stage where I secretly get rid of stuffies while the kids are at school.
What? Judge me if you must but my kids have hamsters. HAMSTERS THAT ARE TRYING TO KILL ME. I'm not as mean as I seem.

She is now the Senior Writer and maintains the voice of YMC which sounds very similar to the voice in her head. Being crazy is finally paying off.
