Which is why I decided that partying it up with the wonderful ladies from 5 Minutes for Mom was a perfect way to spend my last week of pregnant "bliss."
So, here I am. Actually, it's me 39 weeks pregnant with my youngest daughter and the victim of my mom's terrible photo cropping skills - you're welcome. (Read the full story behind this embarrassing pic here. It comes complete with a poem to highlight the humiliation. Don't miss it!)
Meet my family. Our family photos look a bit like the old "Which of these things is not like the other?" game from Sesame Street. In case you're a bit confused about where I am in the picture, I'm the one that doesn't tan. Not even remotely.
Here you can read what a typical day in my life is like. And, yes, I really am that ridiculous in real life. I blame the red hair.
And, just for the heck of it, here's the story of how I (unwittingly) hired strippers for my oldest daughter's 2nd birthday party.
If I haven't completely scared you away with all that, you can find me Twittering here.
So, there you have it. Me, in a nutshell. A really scary, humiliating, inappropriately honest nutshell.
Feel free to leave me a link in the comments so I can check out your blog and/or follow you on Twitter and get to know you, too!
And head over to 5 Minutes for Mom and check out all the cool mom content there! Enjoy the party!

I'll be at the UBP. My first one.
What a beautiful family!
Sarcastic YAY for being a zillion months pregnant...and real YAY for not being the only one!
I'm 31 weeks, but our soon-to-be-middle child is only 13 months old so if people ask I tell them I'm 2 years along. :)
I will definitely be hanging around your blog (in a non creepy way). Feel free to stop by mine anytime!
Happy blog hopping!
I'm attempting to visit every link on the Mr. Linky for this awesome week of partying..but I am adding you to my blogroll so I can come back and read more about you! Your blog is great!
Okay, that was hilarious. Love the poem about that picture! Priceless. I totally know that feeling of being OVER being pregnant. I was huge during summer twice. Not fun. Well, at least I had cute clothes. :) Anyway, will be back to read more. Too funny!

You are hilarious! I promise that - when I return to teaching - I shall never ask a parent to bring a chicken to school.
We are a transracial family as well, although through adoption rather than marriage.
Great to meet you through the UBP!
I love the look of your banner! Party on!
You're a doll.
Your family is beautiful.
Didn't you promise us a wee be`be` today?
