Faithful readers and contributors here at WorkingMomLifeline.com, know this: I come in peace and bring gifts from my people.
I have been granted that rarest of privileges: a chance to contribute to this fine effort without ever having ovulated. My gratitude for the opportunity is deep and abiding, I won’t abuse it. Believe me, if I could ovul…nah, I won’t lie, I wouldn’t ovulate if I could. Please don’t take that as a sign of insincerity, just thought it would be best to begin with honesty.
The powers that be here decided that the perspective of a single dad might be interesting. Or humorous. Or provide an easier target whenever the faithful feel like venting. I’m OK with any of them, just let me stay. Please. I have so little contact with the outside world.
A little about me:

I’ve never been big on dressing up in corsets and stockings. Probably a combination of growing up in a winter climate where houses are too cold to parade around in almost nothing…and a poor body image. My pear shaped body means tiny breasts don’t fill up the bustier cup and my ample thighs become muffin tops bulging over stay-up stockings.
Not quite the sexy look I was going for.
However, until I had my son, I was always big on lacy sets of bra and matching panties. At least I could wear them under my clothes and thereby get my money’s worth—unlike said muffin top stockings.
So there I was this weekend, freshly showered, ovulating and my son tucking into his long afternoon nap, when quite surprisingly I thought, “Wouldn’t it be fun to put on my black lacies?”

Welcome to My House.
I love it here, said the mouse.
Yes, that’s crushed cookie on the floor.
Please check your opinions at the door.
If you see a number of scattered toys.
You’ll realize we have two little boys.
Why are there still dirty breakfast dishes?
I was too busy giving my children kisses.
Why can’t I find my childrens shoes?
Since when is that considered a sign of abuse?
Yes, I know the laundry’s not put away.
But there are millions of kids with no place to stay.
Yes, I know his shirt has a marker stain –
I’m not domestic but I do have a brain.
If you dare to make one more suggestion,
I’ll kick your ass in every direction

I’m nervous. No, I’m not getting braces, but my 15 year old son is getting them…tomorrow morning.
I don’t know which of us is unhappier about it, although, I’m pretty sure he’d tell you he wins that claim to fame…and rightfully so. Actually, he has been a great sport about it. After the initial pleading, begging and negotiating as to why he doesn’t need them ( “my teeth look fine, the dentist has even told me I have nice teeth” and well, um, I’ll admit, the dentist did say that to him, “I’ll look like a geek, all my friends have had theirs taken off already”, “Nobody in high school has braces”, “I’m not going to smile in photos”, etc.).

I have this little ritual that I really enjoy and that really helps me feel organized and on top of things with my car. Filling up my gas tank takes about 10 or so minutes, sometimes a bit more if the pump is slow or I am way down on empty.
I really look forward to these 10 minutes, about twice per week. I take the time to click on the pump so it automatically pumps and stays in my car, and meanwhile I clean out all of the papers and junk in my car.
I throw out all of the trash right there at the gas station, organize receipts, gather all hair clips and scrunchies for return to my house and sometimes even go through that day’s mail and toss 90% on the spot.
I leave the gas station feeling pretty good about the world — my tank is full, li life is organized for that one moment and my car as clean as it’s going to get.

Can anyone ever forget that creepy feeling they got when watching Rebecca De Mornay’s nanny character breastfeeding the baby in The Hand That Rocks the Cradle?
Well, kinda creepy.
Those of us with chronic milk supply issues have been known to scream out “where’s that crazy breast-feeding nanny when you need her?” as we scan the want ads for a wet nurse.
That movie title comes from an expression that long acknowledges that mamas are powerful. Shaping the next generation is a big job but our power does not stop there.
A recent article in the
New York Times quotes a study confirming what we have long known at
Mabel’s Labels - that mamas can make or break your business. More than ever, women are making the buying decisions for families and looking to each other (and not advertising) for information on products.
Mama customers are a force to be reckoned with and you had better serve up top quality product and customer service. If you don’t, a mama can take you down with one blog post and no amount of advertising will dig you out of that hole.
Mamas have solid social networks and a strong online presence where we are willing to share our opinions about everything from what stroller we like best to how many cup sizes we’ve dropped since finishing breastfeeding.
