1. Something you learned in March.
I learned a lot in March.
I learned that if you want to hide leprechaun traps and pretend leprechauns sneak into them on St. Patrick’s Day and leave gold coins behind, you probably should not set the leprechaun traps up in your child’s bedroom where they can wake up and see it’s not a leprechaun leaving gold coins, but indeed it’s their own mother on her hands and knees…sneaking coins into the trap.
I learned I should properly research a book’s reviews before reading it. Even though I might still read it anyway.
I learned that when kids play the game Sorry and one kid knocks another kid off the board when they’re close to home…it means war. Cut throat. I learned that on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills you can call each other every name in the book, but when someone calls you a ‘beast’ you should always react with a gasp and respond with an appalled, “how dare you!”
I also learned that my singing talents are extremely under appreciated.
It was a good month.

You’ve got to love kids for their honesty.
Haha sucks about getting sprung being a leprechaun, though I have never heard of such a trap!?

Laina is really growing up! I’ve heard OUTLANDER is good but I take it you are not enjoying it?
Mama Kat says
I really loved the first book and haven’t jumped into the second one yet. The first is really explicit and there was one scene at the end that I found extremely disturbing. It took me a couple of days to get over it!
Andrea says
Leprechaun traditions are the worst. And tell me about Outlander. So you don’t like it? Or do you like it so much and you can’t believe that there are eight huge books in the series and you are only on book two and you can see yourself potentially reading this series until Christmas if you’re lucky? Because that’s where I am finding myself these days.
Mama Kat says
I liked it! I can’t believe there are 7 more books and I can’t decide if I should take it on or just leave well enough alone since the first book ended on a positive note. Can I just let them stay together and happy in my brain? No more battles, no more conundrums…I can’t take any more conundrums.

The leprechaun debacle cracked me up! We had a similar experience with the tooth fairy. Hubby had to lay perfectly still on the floor for about 10 minutes!
Mama Kat says
10 minutes on the floor! I am dying…that is commitment right there!
kelley says
the singing comment was my favorite. Sounds like you are a wiser woman now than you were at the beginning of the month :)
Mama Kat says
For sure. And I may need to get my daughter’s ears checked because obviously I sound AMAZING in the shower!
Maria says
Outlander is on my list of books to read
I heard all the cool kids are doing it and a friend of mine said I would probably like it
And, I know it takes place in Scotland and I really want to go to Scotland
Plus the Scottish Highland Cattle is my favorite kind of cow
But then I read your comment about needing a cigarette after finishing the book
And I thought dare I read such a book
I have a pretty addictive personality, I haven’t smoked for years and I can’t go back to that life style
I’ve not even read the book and already I’m thinking of asking my co-worker for a Marlboro Red
I want a smoke because Mama Kat said this book made her want to smoke and all I’m doing is thinking of reading the book and so now I need a cigarette
What hold does this enigma who is Mama Kat have over me…is she the Outlander????
Then, I had another thought
I started to wonder what my friend really thinks of me
Why did she I would like such a book
A book about a “strong willed and sensual woman”
A book that would make one want to smoke after it
What does she actually think of me
Wait, is she hitting on me
Thanks Mama Kat – I’m seeing my therapist later this afternoon – she’s fitting me in
Mama Kat says
I LOVE the Scotland vibe. You should definitely read the book away from any packs of cigarettes.

Just a heads up: the “Live Mother Hubbard” link at bottom doesn’t appear related to any of the Mama Kat topics. It looks like like a hit and run linker.
Mama Kat says
Thank you! I sometimes don’t catch those until I have a chance to click through to everyone’s posts!
