Just because it’s Friday and we’re obsessed with funny .gifs, enjoy!
Waking up to find your toddler–who still sleeps with you–just had an accident:

Seriously. Over the weekend, I overheard a woman going on and on about what she wanted for Mother’s Day. Diamond earrings, a few hours at the spa and a nice dinner out. Except for one small detail–she didn’t have any kids! I almost fell out of my chair when the lady she was with asked, “Your husband does all that and you guys don’t even have kids yet?”
Apparently, her and her husband have an agreement that because she could theoretically have kids, she should get a Mother’s Day present. Is it just me or is that a little… weird?

Have you heard about this new website, theshapeofamother.com? Yes, that pic above is from the site. And before you gawk, hear me out.
Moms are bombarded with images of celebrities who bounce back in 2 seconds and never have scar or flab to show they were ever pregnant. The beauty of Photoshop, right? So the woman behind the site thought wouldn’t it be great if moms submitted pictures of their real, un-airbrushed bodies to help support and encourage other moms coming to terms with their post-baby selves. Pouches, stretch marks, saggy skin–it’s all there.

Earlier this morning, I couldn’t help but be intrigued when I read a teaser about the man who replaced Osama bin Laden on the FBI’s 10 Most Wanted List. I mean, those are some big shoes to fill so I was curious to find out who fit the bill.
Now if you, like me, are expecting some psycho serial killer or a terrorist mastermind, you’re wrong. The newest addition to the FBI’s Most Wanted List is actually a teacher.

My daughter is 3-years-old, which means I am currently in the throes of preschool admissions. And yes, it is miserable.
Here in NYC, preschool admission to public school isn’t guaranteed, so you have to explore other avenues just in case. I already went through the private school admissions process, but decided the $30,000/year price tag was just too much to swallow this year. We’re now awaiting the placement decision from the public school system and if that fails, I’ll have to look into community organizations that offer preschool. All in all, it’s a nightmare, a constant source of stress and just so unpleasant.
But little did I know, it could be worse. How? Apparently there is a preschool here in NYC that requires DNA tests for admission. Oh yes, you read that right. Maury Povich-style DNA tests!
