I have had the misfortune lately of having to deal with a couple of the nastiest ladies.

“The Customer is Always Right!”

I don’t think so … in fact, sometimes they are DOWN RIGHT WRONG! These same nasty customers who want something for nothing are often abusive too! However, I think it is wrong to reward bad behavior, it just perpetuates the problem.

I so enjoyed this article by ‘Cheif Happiness Officer’ – Alexander Kjerulf.

... it means that abusive people get better treatment and conditions than nice people. That always seemed wrong to me, and it makes much more sense to be nice to the nice customers to keep them coming back.

Don’t get me wrong, if I drop the ball … by all means, I want to fix it. I’ll apologize for it. Make it up to you. I’ll take steps to ensure I don’t make that same mistake again.

That said,

“NO – we will not take back the 4 potty training pants you used for six months on your twins because the elastic has worn out on one pair and you fear the other three are on their last legs as well. After 6 days … yes, 6 weeks … maybe, 6 Months … go jump in the lake!”

I am done! If you are interested in owning you own online baby store, let me know … I have one for sale!

I feel just like Georgia looks in this photo: (in her Zooni hat)

NO, NO, NO —not drunk and disoriented!

Just dazed and confused ...

It was one of those nights, that turned into one of those days.

Sorry, for the 2nd weekend in a row, my hosting co. has tried to migrate to a new server (with no luck) and my site has been down most of that time. This weekend, I was down and I also lost the original ‘NEW Contest Starts Today – Two Free Slings from Pippalily!’ post, which I have recreated below. Continue Reading

Just because…

What follows is one of my top ten most embarrassing moments!

Early 1990’s – Applebee’s Restaurant

I was on a date with a Dork. Just so you know it wasn’t the first date with ‘the Dork’ and it wasn’t the last. That last part probably doesn’t matter, but I’m telling you anyway.

(psst… don’t think I am mean calling him ‘the Dork’, he turned out to be much worse, but it a long, long story – just take my word for it, OK?)

‘The Dork’ and I were seated in a booth, across from each other. I am sure I’ve mentioned in previous posts that I have a serious (but not debilitating) diet cola addiction, so it shouldn’t come as any surprise, that I had a VERY large and icy Diet Coke in front of me. It’s also important that you know that the drink was really tall and the straw very long (remember those two details, ok?).

Just a sec… I’m going to run and grab a drink.

I am craving lobster!

** 10 minutes of silence ** fingers hovering over keyboard ** nothing!**

Is the title starting to make sense yet? My mind is blank … well, except for the LOBSTER.

I am thinking about taking up extreme-ironing —> I’ll get Mr. MK to try it out first, you know, so I don’t get hurt! It’s sort of a ‘kill two birds with one stone’ kind of sport—> get fit and get ready all in one go!

Which reminds me, I’ve been exhausted all week. I STILL haven’t recovered from my night out!

MommyKnows and Mr. MommyKnows (along with the 3 youngest WeKnowNothing hooligans) are thinking of taking MommyKnows on the Road. Just a short family trip, any suggestions? Where would you like to see us go?

Work is making me crazy! Anyone out there want a career in etail?
