Video Babysitting

I did have a post planned for today--actually, I had several. However, between the girls' medical appointments, paid writing gigs, promoting the book (please take a free chapter), cleaning dishes (dirty plates breed like nymphomaniac hamsters), and solving healthcare reform, I just couldn't get to it.

So, instead of a written post, I thought I would employ a technique that we busy parents sometimes use when we are overloaded with work and want to keep the kids entertained--pop in a video. No, this isn't Barney, or the Wiggles or that whiny, bald kid Caillou; it's waaaay better.

Maybe some of you have heard of comedian Tammy Pescatelli? Right now she's one of the funniest people in the country, aaaand she's from my hometown--well, sort of. She was born outside of Cleveland and then migrated to Meadville, but in a town that gave the world such notable figures like actress Sharon Stone, Playboy model Meghan Allen, and Grammy nominated organist Cameron Carpenter, she fits in just fine.

As Tammy's career took off, she moved to LA, but now, after having her first child, she came back to Meadville. The video will explain all that, which is also kind of weird. All those back country roads, the park, the gun raffles--that's where I grew up for almost 20 years. It's not like NYC or LA, which you see on movies and TV daily; this is the middle of nowhere. It's kind of like revealing to the world the island on LOST. Well, enjoy One Funny Mother.
