Email issues
Whoa, did my self esteem take a hit this weekend!
See, I did that post on Saturday morning, and didn't get any comments. As in, NOT ONE. Wow, I thought. I must really suck lately - no one bothered to comment at all. I mean, I know that crayon talk is boring an all, but nothing?
And then I realized that, since thursday, I've received a steadily diminishing amount of mail. in fact, since then, I've gotten 17 emails. In that time span, I usually receive 200 or more.
My email provider told me that it was due to a junk folder - which I don't have. Or spam filters - again, which I don't have. So they are researching it.
in the meantime, if you need me, leave me a comment and I'll check it. I don't appear to have trouble sending, just receiving.

And if you need something to do tomorrow, The Pink Panther movie was hysterical. Very, very good!
I really enjoy your writing!! I look to you to put what I feel into words. Keep up the good work. Mom to 5 under 3

Hey, you are special to me!!! LOL! I am a comment hog. I am constantly checking my email for comments. (I know, I am superficial.) I think I would have been questioning things too. Okay, I guess more like crying cause I got no comments...

Just wanted you to know that although I am a new reader, I have added you to my favorites list. Love your honesty in writing.

You don't suck!
Yeeeeaaaaa for the Mom to the S.M.!
(I know. This is one of those comments that really I should just delete and go on about my business since clearly my brain is fried. But I won't. I'm leaving it, in all its weirdness, just so you know I was HERE, and I incoherently wrote a comment so you would know I like you. And that might be important in some small way. So here it is anyway. Weird Comment, But A Comment Just The Same.)

Isn't it crazy how we need email these days. I love getting email. And it makes me sad, when I don't. It is the sme way I felt about getting calls in middle school. Oh, and I am a lurker, who is de-lurking. Great site.

Greetings!
My name is Daniel Markell and I am the Casting Producer for the hit show Wife Swap on ABC!
Perhaps you have seen it. We are currently casting families with 5 or more kids who have amazing personalities and great dynamics who can show another family what its like to be a Team!
We are looking for Moms of all kinds! Fun, Sassy, outgoing, unconventional, spoiled, but all Moms must be married with kids over the age of 6 to be considered. I saw your Big Yellow house blog and felt compelled to write. I think with your wit, you could bring a lot to another family! So if you're up for the experience of a lifetime, please feel free to contact me on how to apply for the show today!
Best regards,
Daniel Markell

dare i ask is this guy for real?

OMG - you have got to tell us if this wife swap thing is TRUE!
(though he's got the wrong blog - but maybe Chris got asked too!)
Anyway, I read you daily - and love your with and ability to laugh at life despite its bumps. ;-)
I gotta say though - regarding the coffee on your face that you shared previously - that SO is the type of thing to happen to me. But WHY is it only in the movies that the guy would have lovingly/sexily (sp) wiped it gently off the cheek himself - for her? :-) LOL
