Mommy Brain

It’s been quite a while since I’ve done a links post, but I’ve been too busy to have much time to surf the net or even post on this blog. Our October is shaping up to be a little less busy than our September was, but I’m finding ways to fill the time. More freelancing. Crocheting Gryffindor scarves for Natalie and Noah to wear to the Tae Kwon Do Halloween Party. (Noah and Natalie are going as Harry and Hermione, Jonathan is going to be Aragorn from LOTR, and Josiah wants to be a Celt. He liked Celt dress-up day for history.)

Tomorrow we are headed to Trail, B.C. to spend the day at the aquatic center. I don’t think we’ve been up there since spring, and this may be our last chance before the winter weather sets in and the roads are too icy to make the trip.

Sunday afternoon, we will have dinner with Mom & Dad, and then watch the Seahawks play the Saints. Actually, Kevin and the kids will head home after dinner, and I will stay and watch the game, since I’m really the only football fan in the family.

Well, I have some writing that needs to be done, and a movie to watch so I can write a review. Plus, Michelle loaned me Grey’s Anatomy: Season One, and I’ve only had time to watch the first episode, and half the second, and I’d like to finish at least that one.

Before I sign off, though, here are some links for your weekend:

~ Do you remember the Anita Renfroe Momsense video I linked to a while ago? It was only a partial version. Here is the whole thing in all its hilarity. Be prepared to laugh until you pee.

~ Grab the kids, and check out this link of amazingly weird sea creatures.

~ Principled Discovery has been on a roll lately. Check out A Homeschooler’s Guide to Unhappiness and If You Want Your Child Socialized.

~ All of you parent bloggers can appreciate this Adam@Home comic.

~ Here is Dove’s follow-up to their Evolution ad: Dove Onslaught. Watch this alone first; it is more geared toward us moms than to our daughters, but it is definitely a good warning. Hat tip to Sallie.

~ And on a much, much lighter note, here is a parody of the Dove Evolution ad.

Lastly, for those of you who have made it through to the end of this post, a question. I have a few books on the Unread Books Meme that I have considered adding to my to-read list, but I want opinions on whether or not they’re worth my time. Here are the titles:

Catch 22
Wuthering Heights
Life of Pi
The Name of the Rose
Vanity Fair
Atlas Shrugged
Reading Lolita in Tehran
Memoirs of a Geisha
Middlesex
Wicked
Brave New World
A Clockwork Orange
Tess of the D’Urbervilles
Gravity’s Rainbow

I guess that’s more than a few! So are there any about which you would say definitely, yes, or definitely, no?
