Ryan Gosling got a haircut.

But not before he got a crazy mullet in the process.

Gross, right?

C-ya long hair. Waylon will miss pulling you.

I’ve mentioned Momastery before, but I’ll mention her again.

She’s great, and you guys must think so too because over fifteen people sent me emails or Facebook messages linking to her Don’t Carpe Diem post that went viral and ended up on Huffington Post.

Thank you for sharing! Sharing is caring.

She is amazing.

Chicken nugget connoisseur.

17-year-old Stacey Irvine of Castle Vale, Birmingham, has admitted to eating practically nothing besides chicken nuggets since she was two .

Irvine was recently rushed to the hospital after collapsing at work. Doctors there told her she had anemia and made it clear that she was going to die if she didn’t immediately add fruits and vegetables to her diet. “I am starting to realize this is really bad for me,” Irvine acknowledged.

Still, she says she can’t stop eating nuggets on a daily basis. “McDonald’s chicken nuggets are my favourite. I share 20 with my boyfriend with chips,” she is quoted as saying. “But I also like KFC and supermarket brands. My main meal is always chicken nuggets every day.”

According to Irvine, her mother Evonne, who introduced her to McNuggets when she was two, has long since given up trying to get her to eat anything else.

I have two questions.

#1—> Has she seen the picture that’s gone viral showing what those chicken nuggets look like before they’re fried?

#2—> How has she not died of pure boredom ? Has she had chocolate cake? My chocolate cake? If she just wants junk food, fine! I can find much better options besides chicken nuggets.

Erin January 27, 2012 at 10:48 am Lover “Oooooh, that word bums me out unless it’s between the words ‘meat’ and ‘pizza’.” Reply Erin January 27, 2012 at 11:57 am But on a more serious note, I went back and read the carpe diem post. It was encouraging that lots of other moms are in the trenches too. I love her thought process on having more kids when it seems so difficult with what you already have. Or if your kids aren’t perfectly behaved all the time. I think about this a lot in regards to having a third baby. “Won’t people think badly of me if they see my four-year old whining and my two-year old throwing popcorn and I’m with them at Target, big and pregnant?” Her point is a good one, but I’m still not sure I can justify more babies.

Heather Joseph January 27, 2012 at 11:05 am Sorry about sleep training fail :-( I had several of those which gradually petered off as the weeks wore on. I think what finally pushed me over the sleep training edge wasthis sense of feeling absolutely trapped. For the first time in my life an activity was not really a choice. There was no way out of this parenthood thing. Period. And it looked like I met never ever sleep for 5 hours at a stretch again. I sat sobbing for a hour, holding my kid and saying over and over – like some deranged psych-ward patient – while rocking back-n-forth “I don’t think i can do this. I don’t think I can do this.” At that point, something had to give. It was less a “this is what successful parents do” than a “this is what mamas who don’t end up in the psych ward perhaps eventually do?”. Reply Kate {motleymama} January 27, 2012 at 4:59 pm Oh Heather. I feel the exact same way. Sometimes I’m on the brink of a breakdown. Reply

Candis Jones January 27, 2012 at 4:03 pm I seriously look forward to your end of week snacks. Ryan Gosling’s looking good. That Momastery article was awesome. Sleep training post made me chuckle. Chicken nugget girl…is that for real? And even more important that chicken nugget picture ruined chicken nuggets forever for me. Not really a bad thing to do I guess. I love Mother Theresa. Love.

Shirley January 28, 2012 at 3:31 pm Kate, unfortunately when I tried to copy the Mother Teresa poster at the library I didn’t think to hit SELECTION and, swoooshswooshswoosh . . . swooshswoosh, out flowed your entire post into the printer tray (despite the librarian’s attempt to perform a cancellation). For now it’s up on the whiteboard. Maybe I’ll scotch tape it to the bathroom mirror where people can stick their noses close and ingest it. Reply Kate {motleymama} January 28, 2012 at 3:35 pm Excellent! Next time, I can just email it to you. Reply
