MOMYS

What's With the New Colors.

After 8 years or so, we are making MOMYS.com look pretty. We don't have the final colors and some areas might be hard to read. This is temporary. Hang in there!!!

New MOMYS Gear

New MOMYS stuff is here. It is priced only a tiny bit above the actual cost to the MOMYS that did the design, so nobody is making money, but the designer gets a tiny amount per item for her work.

So far there is a maternity tee (with cute little feet), a women's tee, two coffee mugs, and a bumper sticker.

The design is approved by momys.com

Click on the coffee mug above to get your MOMYS stuff.

Former MOMYS moderator on the Travel Channel

The latest video from Manaus, Brazil is up. This is a really good episode. It shows a lot about the rain forest. Go watch Jim's condensed version here (high speed internet required: 8 minutes long)

Yes, it's true! Your former MOMYS moderator Mary is in the Travel Channel Show "5 Takes Latin America."

Saturdays 10pm on the Travel Channel

Look inside MOMYS to read more about it. You can also click the Travel Channel logo above to go to the 5-Takes website. If you go there, you'll see that the first 3 seasons were geared for a much younger audience. This time around, the producers went with older travel journalists (TJ's), this seasons shows are a more "mature" take on 5 Takes (almost no drinking and partying, and more focus on the sites, history and culture) than the clips you'll see from previous seasons.

I made Mary a website to chronicle this amazing "summer job", go to MarySturges.com (be sure to leave her some comments - she loves that:) )

I Am Not A Failure???

This morning I rose with a pain in my chest, fighting the urge to quit-
I AM NOT A FAILURE!!
The laundry is high and the money is low-
I just can�t be A FAILURE!
The baby is blue and the toddler is red-marker? nail polish?
Maybe I really am A FAILURE.
The teenager slams the door in my face. She�s gone again. A day? a week? Have I lost her completely?
I am certainly a failure.
Come on! You can read it. It says cat, C-A-T-cat!!!
Oh God-what a failure!!
But I�m trying so hard. I don�t quit-barely sleep!
HOW CAN I BE A FAILURE??
Please God, Where are you?? PLEASE HELP ME!!
Am I really a failure??
My sweet child, here�s some truth:
The laundry is high because I�ve blessed you with family.
The money is low, but the pantry is full.
The baby is healthy. The toddler is happy.
The teenager may be running away from you, but she�s running TOWARD Me!
Your children are learning- at My pace- not yours.
You�re trying TOO hard. Take a break. Get some sleep.
Are you really a failure?
Of course you are.
But I already won
