Global warming much? It’s going to be over 80 degrees today.
I hope this doesn’t mean we will roast in July. Better get a bigger baby pool.

Recently Still Wanting A Pet
Austin: I just want you to know if I find a hedgehog for sale, I’m going to buy it.
Me: What’s a hedgehog?
Austin: Look it up.
Me: Sick. No.
Austin: You will love it. You can take them for walks.
Me: No.

Recently An Ego Boost
My Girl Erin sent me a Time article the other day about how babies fed on demand have statistically higher IQ’s.
As she so eloquently put it, I love how the Internet can take any supposed parenthood failure (like nursing my babies around the clock) and discover that it was actually the most awesome decision ever. Thanks Erin, and thanks Time for the ego boost. I needed it.

TONIGHT IS THE NIGHT!
My tickets say 7pm which means I’ll be waiting at 6pm for a prime seat for the Hunger Games movie tonight. I don’t care if I’m buying into the hype. You need a little hype every once in a while.

A World Without Us
Read: Without Humans, What Traces Of US Would Linger? A chart that explains what exactly would happen to the earth if humans vanished.
My post apocalyptic fascination is not recent. Way before the Hunger Games trilogy I read Margaret Atwood’s Oryx and Crake (still my #1 favorite book) and have been captivated ever since. Side-note: One of the best games to play in the car is “what if we were the last humans on earth.” Things get weird.

And finally, our Friday Funnies from the Internets

50 Things Real Adults Do That I Don’t
Happy Friday.
May the odds be ever in your favor.
i can’t get enough of that little boxes video. love it.
I agree.
It’s so great. It was on repeat yesterday.
I get really excited when you put up new posts. It kind of makes my day. Your honesty in this blog is super refreshing.
I would also like for you to tell me that, in retrospect, labor wasn’t really that bad. It’s okay if you’re dishonest just this once.
Thanks Beth.
In retrospect, labor and delivery is nothing compared to post recovery (sorry). But some women bounce back right away. Maybe you’re one of those? Maybe you’ll be in labor for only two hours and the sucker will just slide right out. Maybe you’ll be doing jump ups the very next day. If that’s the case, don’t tell me. I don’t want to know.
Face bragging funny made me lol
I didn’t get it at first, but then I cracked up. Genius.
I just want to say thanks for posting (almost) every day. Yesterday when you didn’t post I was so sad ( but I totally get it ). I admire your commitment and appreciate and love this blog so much. Everyday I check the Motley Mama Facebook page for an update. Your little guy is just too cute.
Thanks Cara. I will carry your compliments around with me all day to counteract any of Austin’s comments about the dishes “situation.”
Friday Funnies are funny as usual. Also, Pinterest is so weird. I recognize that last item in the slide show from your creepy toys post!
Little Boxes video! Loooovvveee it.
Motley Mama MVP! But seriously. So weird, I love it.
Please get a hedgehog.
No.
don’t cave. hedge hogs are such a dumb pet. like who wants to cuddle with that?!
Not I. Not Waylon. Not Austin if he really thought about it.
Thanks for the ego boost Erin/Kate. I needed that.
The World Without Us chart is crazy. I love End Of The World stuff. Adding Oryx and Crake to my must read list!
Weird Pinterest!
Beach babe must be into EVERYTHING by now.

Kate, I love your blog! I look forward to reading it everyday. Thanks for sharing! I too am buying into the hype of The Hunger Games and will be watching tonight. Yay!
Thanks Heather!
We watched it together!
YES! I have contributed to Motley Mama! Yohannes will get a kick out of that since he sent me the link. A favorite pastime of his (when he’s not commenting on our very own dishes situation) is to roll his eyes at how often I quote “Kate’s blog.” I just finished reading The Hunger Games tonight.
What a great past-time! I love it! That article really was funny. I laughed a lot.
Did you finish Book 1 or the whole series?
Just Book 1. I’m afraid to start the next one, because I know I’m just going to become an angry little hermit until I finish it. I get way too emotionally invested in stories.
My husband works with someone who does a hedgehog rescue and fosters them. :) They also are the kind of folks who have two pet skunks. Without the smell of course.
You may not want to tell your hubby that though.
Um, we are not those kind of folks. Not that there’s anything wrong with that!
Seriously though, I don’t think he’d actually want the thing once it was here.
I loved Oryx and Crake. Weird but so great. I finished it and then almost immediately started reading it over again.
Also, hooray! I am going to have a brilliant child.
I love that C.S. Lewis quote. Good stuff.
i think waylon and parker paid that time author to write that article. theyre highfiving each other: “did your ma read that article yet!?” “yeah, yours?” “yeah” “SUCKAS!”
hedgehog. that’d be so funny.
