More from the under-awarded
This week's dubious under-awards go to:
Wait a minute. What am I going to call these "awards?" I mean, who really wants to win something dubious? Or something called an under-award? If you can think of a better title, let me know and you can win one of these awards for yourself. Er ... that's not really an incentive ....
Anyway, Stacey at Is there Any Mommy Out There wins the I Cheated Death and I Have the Chunk of Uterus to Prove It Award for detailing how she nearly bled to death after she gave birth, a few days before I did:
Madeline at My Boy and Me wins the Mr. Sandman's Lovey of the Night Award for her posts about the odd things her son falls asleep with. It varies, and since this post, her son has fallen asleep with a large toy truck (as he did this week) and her drill.
Sara at Domestically Challenged? wins the Anti-Ax Murderer Stick Figure Artiste Award for her rendering of the plan she has for protecting her family from an ax murderer.

Anyway, Stacey at Is there Any Mommy Out There wins the I Cheated Death and I Have the Chunk of Uterus to Prove It Award for detailing how she nearly bled to death after she gave birth, a few days before I did:
"I found, not a clot, but a ... chunk. Of tissue. In my underwear. A chunk of tissue that had clearly been in my uterus for the last six weeks. It was about the size of a fisher price person. You know? The little people that fit into the cars?Stacey's tale is a good reminder for us all to listen to our bodies and speak up when you know there's something wrong.
In case you aren't already there: IT WAS ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING.
Of course, I did what any self-respecting girl with a fisher price person sized chunk of uterus in her panties would do. I saved it. Wrapped it up in an entire roll of toilet paper and stuck that puppy in my purse."
Madeline at My Boy and Me wins the Mr. Sandman's Lovey of the Night Award for her posts about the odd things her son falls asleep with. It varies, and since this post, her son has fallen asleep with a large toy truck (as he did this week) and her drill.
"Wish I could snap a pic before he completely relaxes and lets go of his treasured object of the day. Oh, how cute that would be...except that it would wake him up."
Sara at Domestically Challenged? wins the Anti-Ax Murderer Stick Figure Artiste Award for her rendering of the plan she has for protecting her family from an ax murderer.
"I have an action plan for situations such as intrusions by Ax Murderers and such. Daddy? When I wake him up in the middle of the night to listen to a strange sound? He rolls his eyes and tells me to go back to bed. Bad plan. Which parent would you rather have home in this situation? Thought so."Mom bloggers, you have enlightened and entertained us for another week. So you definitely deserve recognition. So, um, congratulations?

Wow on the chunk!
Coolio idea girl highlighting posts!
I'd thank the chunk for earning me an award, but that's probably pretty sick ;-)
I have been an honorary Mommy Blogger for almost two years now. In that time, given the size of the list of mommy blogs I read, I have seen and heard just about everything. Also, I'm old enough to have seen and heard quite a bit on my own, without blogs, but blogging has certainly opened my eyes to some things I was totally unaware of. That said, never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that I would be aware that a woman would have found chunks of her uterus in her underpants. While she was wearing them. That's amazing.
Staci's story was so scary. I can't believe she can write about it with such humor.
As for the awards, how about the Doobie Awards?
I'm a mom and I blog, but I don't really consider myself a mommy blogger. My kids are too old to blog about cute little things like falling asleep with toy trucks and puking all over the car- though I enjoy reading mommy blogs about these things and blogging about other people's kids (and my own kids teenage revelry on occasion). Kids are more exciting when they're young and encompassing every nanosecond of your life- until they turn into teenagers bored in front of the TV and worried about their friend texting them back...
sorry about the novel.
Scary stuff, finding a piece of your uterus. I'm glad she listened to her body.
All I have on my whiteboard is a shopping list and a doctors appointment, I so suck, I must go now and make an ax-murderer plan..
I love that you call them the dubious under-awards. You and your awards crack me up!
Thanks a ton for the Mr. Sandman's Lovey of the Night Award! I feel very special.
