Where I Turn When I Need a Good Laugh

I have an incredible support group made of fellow bloggers and friends on Facebook. No matter what kind of day I'm having, one of these people will be able to relate. Just going to any one of their blogs or Facebook pages will turn whatever mood I was in completely around. It is amazing how not-alone we really are in this crazy world! My husband and close friends are a huge source of comedy in my life - not to mention my three boys. They are good for a laugh or three at the oddest times of the day.

My Child's Weirdest Habit

Unfortunately, I passed on my ridiculous worrying gene to my middle son. I was a horrible worrier. And for no reason at all. I'd constantly ask my mom or dad if we had enough gas in the car, if we were lost, and other ridiculous questions. My biggest fear was them dropping me off for swimming lessons and not coming back. Not only were they NEVER late, they were always right there when I got out of lessons. These fears were totally senseless but one of my quirks as a child. I remember thinking I got lost in a library and going up to a complete stranger saying I thought my mom left me there - 2 seconds later my mom said..."Andrea, I'm right here!" She was literally 2 steps away. My poor mom. My son is constantly asking me if I know where I'm going, why I turned left instead of right, why I didn't tell him we were stopping at the store, and other crazy questions. I've passed on my worst traits to my kids.

The Most Bizarre Product I've Come Across as a Mom

I'd have to say the Time Out pad. It turns Time out into a fun game. Really? I think we've missed the point here people! :) I really wanted to invent a glow in the dark pacifier so I could find them in the middle of the night - but I think the things that make a baby's pacifier glow would end up poisoning them. So there went that dream.
