Now for something totally different (mom speaks)

oh Hai!
No, not the Dawg, and anyone thinking to themselves with a smirk what a female dawg is called, well... all I can say is, YEP! (teehee).
I'm the missus, aka Hound's wife, and the bearer of the unique and startlingly accurate title of MommymommymommymommymommycanIhazcheezschlammich?
I was asked to put some thoughts on here, and in an effort to craft the wittiest, most comically satisfying, humorous post without being cliched, I've put it off for a week or two... ok, MAYbe three. In that time, I've decided to go ahead and post as my ability to make people laugh tends to strike at odd moments, and I may never catch that elusive mood in writing.
So you're stuck with this. :P Neener neener.
"Has it been four years already?"
This refrain has bounced around through my head and frequently comes out via the oral orifice lately. As in, since late June, lately.
The answer, of course is, no. There have been random wormholes that my son has either created or cleverly mapped and is time-jumping his way through infancy, and now toddlerhood. How else could it be explained? Just yesterday I was coming to from the anesthetic fog to see my honey all in blue cradling something making the most wonderful wailing sound I'd ever heard. You wouldn't think that an angry, squalling red face would make a perfectly sensible (stop laughing) woman get all blubbery, now would you?
No, wait... just yesterday a four year old was holding up arms sticky with appley-scented liquid saying, "I just want to love on you, Mommy!" in response to that age-old question, "Were you finger-painting my table with your apple juice?"
Errrr... or was yesterday the all-nighter worrying and holding and rocking a pitifully whimpering sickling while the fever hit 102 and finally broke?
um.
One sec, I'm sure there's a calendar around... here... somewhere.
OK, the secret is out. I don't know what day it is, I rarely know the time, and if you ask me when a birthday or anniversary is, I need at least 5 minutes to look it up.
But one thing is sure, I wouldn't trade my title for nothing in the world.
-Mommy
