Another neat find from Neatorama; BECAUSE I SAID SO. A mom’s blog expressing the frustrations of child rearing (suppose that term was coined by the spankings that are applied when said children misbehave?)
The blog is very well written, and unlike a lot of blogs, is very unassuming and innocent in what is posted. Most blogs seem to be written to gain attention, because it’s the cool thing to do, to make money, (is my blog different? I hope so.)… I guess the word I’d use is unassuming, or maybe unpretentious. Dawn seems to write just to get things off her chest and was truly unprepared for all the attention she’s now getting. And the attention started when she put a baseball up for auction on eBay using the story behind how the baseball kicked off a terrible, horrible, no-good, very-bad day for her.
The Ball That Started it All
I’m selling the baseball that started my wonderful first day of spring break. Do you want to know why I’m selling the baseball that started off my wonderful first day of spring break? Only because Ebay won’t let me sell my kids who were playing with the baseball that started my wonderful day. Is spring break over yet?! Here’s the whole story…
You’ve just got to read it and laugh, because if you’ve got kids, you’ve probably had a day like that before. At least one.
