HEY HEY

YOU YOU

(name that song)

So, as it turns out, I can either stay on top of the ever dire laundry situation or I can blog. The laundry mountains won out these past few days along with a teething (?) and wildly unhappy Phoebe and her Everest of needs.

Phoebe Badger does not care.

Not that you noticed I ducked out for a warm second but ... as soon as I figure out how to master the illusive "balance" bologna ... I'll let you know.

Moving onward and upward to less disappointing areas of the 'net.

I have a lot of favorite blogs but here's my latest and greatest. If you click over and never return to the Camp ... I won't blame you. Wit and legit writing skillage for days.

okay, FINE. I've been totally sucked into the blog world's new obsession. For good reason. Her archives have made for some less frustrating sleepless nights with Phoebe.

My loyalty knows no bounds. 

I've blogged about it a few times before but the only thing that's zapped my random breakouts is this stuff. And right now it's 30% off with the code: EDDOCTCLEAR so I wanted to pass that along. {Here's my referral link for $10 off any order but, no pressure! Like always.}

In true Grace fashion I am shamelessly copycatting Kate and Bridget (and other bloggers, I'm sure) and am putting together a little vlog to answer reader questions. I won't pretend to flatter myself and think that there are dozens (even one?) of questions people are dying to ask but thought I'd ask for some anyway. You can leave a comment here or just send a quick email with "vlog" in the subject line. Many many MANY thanks.

And most importantly, one of my favorite readers and e-friends is going through an unimaginably difficult time right now. Somehow, she manages to navigate these scary waters with an abundance of humor and grace. She's one of the most thoughtful people I've ever encountered and has sent us care packages galore and notes of encouragement during Simon's difficult rotations (which are laughable compared to her day-today, I know!). Anyway, I know she would so appreciate your prayers and if you feel the call to give at all ... pretty please do so here! Thank you in advance.

We are in Indianapolis for the weekend because we tagged along with Simon for a work conference. As crazy as the hotel room + the kids + the sleeping arrangements can be ... it's still so fun to get out of the house for more than the duration of a Costco trip. The kids are quite taken with the (FREE!) ice machine (Simon may have really talked that one up, and they bit), the variety of channels, and the view.

"Open this door, mom?!"

To your inevitable death? Nokay.

And I am quite taken with the laundry situation being hundreds of miles away.

Oh! I'm also reading this book on the trip and loving it, so far.

Okay, that's really it.

Happy weekend.
