Welcome to the inaugural post of the new blog carnival, Glamour of the SAHMer.
Grab my button! I made it just for you.
It’s all about commiserating, venting, sharing, and kvetching about the less glamorous aspects of being a Stay At Home Mom. Or a SAHW or a WAHM or just being the one in charge of feeding and watering the family.
Did you have a record encounter with mildew and need to vent with someone who understands? An epic battle with refrigerator and want to brag to someone who will admire and appreciate your mad rubber gasket bleaching skillz? Post on your blog and link back here, then paste your link into LinkyTools!
I thought I’d share with you my very own private rating system. I rank my days according to which body fluids I have directly interacted with.
It’s an 10 point scale, ranking from benign to let’s-not-talk-about-it-mkay?
Sweat, tears, saliva, breastmilk, snot, urine, blood, pus, diarrhea, and vomit.
Lucky me. I don’t faint at the site of blood or puke at the smell of bile so that means *I* get voted to take care of… well, everything.
A three fluid day is actually a good one. A 5 fluid day? Husband might be alerted so he can bring me home a McFrappe. (Mc FFFrappe. Mustn’t forget the F sound. Ever again.)
A 7 fluid day? Fire up the washer and cancel school. And if I hit all 10 fluids in a single day? I get a medal. Or a Whatchamacallit bar, you know, whichever is closer.
What’s the weirdest, grossest, or dirtiest thing you did this week? Posts close Sunday! Don’t click some links and commiserate with your fellow Glamour sisters in their comments!
PS – by dirty I mean dirt. It’s a family blog!

Aww, your only “Glamor of a SAHMer” entry so far is actually a “Glamor of a Spammer.” For a poetry book. Apparently, poets spam too. C’mon, mommmy-bloggers, join the carnival! I would, if I had a mommy blog, since I am a SAHMer. Maybe I should start one.

I had a six this week. 5 is pretty common and I don’t foresee going below 4 in the near future.
My contribution: Two-year-old puke all over the couch, the two-year-old, the baby’s blanket, quite a few toys, including the brand-new electronic jewelry box that is not looking like it will make a full recovery in terms of either function or smell. She only threw up twice, though; last time it was every hour or two for the better part of 24 hours, followed by husband and I getting sick. Husband is a bit under the weather but I seem likely to skip this one (knock on wood).
A three would be awesome.
But what I really want is not to be screamed at. That’s what I have trouble dealing with.

Well, OF COURSE it was brand new! And electronic so it can’t be washed!
If I were clever, I would make a rating scale for the auditory assaults. But instead I go straight from “ignorable” to “HOLY COW YOU ARE NOT DYING BE QUIET”. 0 to 60 in one whine.
Oh, I use that same scale! Lacks a bit of objectivity though.

ok I dont have a blog but my 3yo son had an accident while climbing on the tv. The tv did not survive. I guess it~s only a 1 but I think worth contributing.
