Do they make soundproof versions of those cage thingies?
Wha? He’s allowed to get away with that, in a text? Hope that glass of wine is as big as the “kennel”! That’s awesome.
A mom has to do what a mom has to do.
Wine? Essential.
DVD for kids? Essential.
Cage for kids? Essential.
That is hilarous. I love the baby jail. My husband and I went last night to pick up cupcakes for my son to take to daycare today. We checked out with a dozen cupcakes, a $5.00 bottle of Merlot, and a 6 pack of Miller Light. I actually made my husband put back the expensive ($10.00 bottle) to get the cheaper bottle of wine. We are klassy.
Hmmm . . . can you put the kids to bed at 4:30? I mean, it must be eight o’ clock by then SOMEWHERE!
Good luck. I’m right there with you tonight, wine and all.
man, i so need to hook myself up with some of that (caging AND wine)
Looks just like my house ‘cept baby in an exercsaucer and no wine :(
I need to get one of those cages.
Oh man! My dad just asked me a while ago if they still have playpens and I have no idea- and I have been sitting here wondering how you take a shower when the baby goes to one nap a day and NOW I KNOW. Brilliant!
The BEST part is we got the cage at BABIES R US. Y’all, it’s MADE for babies! So it’s totally legit. Run, good people. Run and get ye one!
Working from home just got easier. Heh.
I have everything except the cage. Note to self- buy a cage
Survival mode I totally get. We’ve had ice cream for dinner, slept in ‘til noon, ate at midnight. Whatever got us thru it.
And maybe I should mention that there are those times when MOM stands for “My Own Margarita/Martini”!
You mean, PLAYpen, with emphasis on play. Look how much fun he’s having! Or, whatever.
Isn’t funny how these things were so IT years ago, and these days we’re all “my kid’s in jail”!!!
OMG, that reminds me i need to dig out the jail, its nearly spring and the kids(4 legged) will be hitting the ground. I can’t even imagine what’ll be like with a 2 y/o AND baby goats.
Looks like mine…only mine doesn’t have a ‘kennel’ and mine’s a lot messier!
Hey! Save some of that wine for ME!
I don’t think they had baby jails when my boys were small.
Shame, really.
Sad text msg! At least it could’ve been worded differently… That last sentence is just plain mean!
wow…hope he brings you flowers and another bottle of wine.
Ah, the memories. We used to have a gate in between each room on our first floor so we could herd the kids like sheep. We had a gate around our TV area, one running the entire length of the fireplace wall in the dining room, and one memorable Christmas, the exact same gate you are using was set up to encircle the Christmas tree. Ahhhhhh, the memories.
I have cage envy.
Is there something wrong with that picture? I didn’t notice…
Kid in a cage. I like it!
oh damn, leslie. i don’t comment much anymore but this made my day. i need to bust out my jail for gideon.
That is a sweet picture. Myne would look like this: 2 yr old girl jumping (or at least standing) on the couch. 9 mo old boy climbing the “cage” walls. Tv would be something education for adults (daily show or the like). And the drink would be bourbon. Fortunatly for me it only lasts from 6-9pm. I love the office.
Oh yeah. I need a cage, but with my luck the kids would scale it, and a 6-foot fence in the house probably wouldn’t fly…
Oh, I gotta get me one of those kennels! And, the wine…
Early bloghop!!
Wait, Cinderella isn’t educational?
I really got my money’s worth out of our kennel. It’s blocked off doors and stairs, served as a kennel, protected the Christmas tree, etc. And now it’ll be doing the same for the second child.
Dude - so the story of my LIFE. Embarrassingly this is the scene at LEAST one night a week. We don’t need the cage yet - the little monkey doesn’t move around. Tonights’ educational programming du jour was a bit of Wonder Pets with a Blue’s Clues chaser. No wine but a Kit Kat after they were in bed took the edge off.
Smart momma!
LOL! Love it, love it *love it*!!
Happy Friday! Blog Hoppin’!
“Margarita Mom”
you and me? we’re separated at birth.
I’m glad you survived. When Adam is late coming home for work or out of town, I almost go bonkers.
That “kennel” is awesome, Ive looked at a million of these but have not been lucky enough to get one shipped overseas. Gotta love the land of everything (aka the states). I do have the wine, lots of wine. You got the momma gig down. You gotta do what you gotta do and those that dont know, dont have kids.
LMFAO. I literally laughed out loud at this picture and called my hubs over to the computer to check it out! It’s not just US!! WOOHOO! Only thing I don’t have is a bottle of wine. I may have to take that up again, everyone keeps talking about it
Just did that last night! Minus the kennel. My poor dog would be confused if I put up one those things.
Too funny!
I love the baby cage and thus the forced educational programming. So classy!
Shhhh…no one ever does that….
i love you just a little bit more now. and i loved you a lot, to start.
OMG you are me. I love me! I almost want to post this on my FaceBook FunWall.
I award you Mother of the Year for setting that up.
Brilliant.
