1. Rewash moldy laundry left in washing machine. Again.
2. Find second cat.
3. Repaint twins' toenails different colors for easy recognition in bathtub.
4. Buy lightbulbs.
5. Locate source of smell in living room (cat?).
6. Write service provider check for yesterday's bandwidth overage.
7. Kiss Alice Bradley's ass.
You, sir, have your chores cut out for you today! And you reminded me that I, too, have laundry molding in the machine. Damn! Wonder how long it's been there?

Hi LD! I'm Katie (over here from Finslippy) and now that you have invited me to read your blog, I want you to know a few things.
1. My hubby is ready to buy your "LookyDaddy fraternal boy-girl twin stop asking me dumb questions" kit.
2. I have been spending a ridiculous amount of time hiding from my kids to read your archives. When social services show up I'll give them your name.
3. I want to come to a playdate with you and Jennifer. I am ambivalent about Julia Roberts, but I could feign distain if it gets me out of the house.
I'm loving your writing (although it hits a little close to home) and I look forward to reading more. Your girls are adorable & you made a good choice on the name Kathryn (I spell mine the same way). Thanks for the laughs.
-Katie, SAHM of 17 month old twins

Hi! I wandered on over from Finslippy and I just wanted you to know...I'm STAYING!
Love your to-do-list, good luck with that smell in the livingroom. I'm betting it's some sort of stale milk and not the cat - but keep us posted...
-Val, mom to a 23 mo old crazy girl who is not "natural".

Well, I haven't figured out the whole blogroll thing, but I favored you, does that count?
Posted by: Erika | January 09, 2007 at 10:25 AM
I was going to help you out with your chores until I got to #7. Let's, um, divide them up, OK?

Update: The smell was a meatball that had rolled under the couch. Cannot remember the last time we had meatballs.
Still haven't found the cat, though.

Also over here from Alice's blog and planning to stay. Have added you to my rss reader!

Ooops. Sorry about the bandwidth. I must have not been the only person who read your entire archives last night after clicking over from Finslippy.

Ahhhhhh crud. Why did you have to remind me about the moldy laundry. I just poured a cup of coffee.
Great blog, lol! I found you thanks to Alice. I think you need to send her some banana muffins or something.

I am not a dad and I don't have unnatural twins but I stopped by anyway. Great blog!

I am frighteningly thrilled that I'm not the only one to leave laundry in the wash until it mildews. You've made my day!

Visiting from Finslippy. Tip about moldy/stinky laundry...add ammonia to the basin while it is filling. It does wonders. :-)
Posted by: Tammy | January 09, 2007 at 02:41 PM
Ah, the to-do-list of every parent who stays home. Again, glad to hear that I'm not the only one who can forget laundry and let it mildew. Thanks for the great writing!

I'm just happy you're not making me pay for the bandwidth overage.
Posted by: alice | January 09, 2007 at 08:41 PM
Bandwidth, Schmandwidth ... more Looky Daddy, please!
... another of Finslippy's readers who loves your writing (and The Mom) and your archives! Added you to my blogroll right away!

Glad to have found you through Finslippy - have you Bloglined.

That Alice. She'll do wonders for your bandwidth, I suspect.
And she's funny too!
Oops, I meant, and YOU're funny too!
Posted by: Krisco | January 09, 2007 at 11:23 PM
I...am...hooked. Came via finslippy and here to stay. Also a mom to twins and tired of the "are they natural?" question. Thanks for the laughs!

Cold from baby made us quite dippy!
Worse when outside it's cold and nippy.
Our head's in a fog.
Until we came to your blog.
Now, what's a Finslippy?!
Posted by: The Godfather | January 11, 2007 at 01:10 PM
Tammy's right - half a cup of ammonia in the machine when you rewash that laundry. Makes it like it never happened.
