| Didn’t watch it, but after reading this article my only comment is that I’ve always liked John McCain.

Stealing a post from Ana and reviewing 30 days of search history to see how people find my blog:
For the person searching my blog for a “Wife of a Law Student” shirt, try this
I want this one for me and this one for my little monkey, Pumpkinhead.
For the person searching my blog for what to get his legal secretary for Christmas, cash is always good. Or a gift card (Amazon? See sidebar) if you think cash is gauche. If you want to get her a “serious” gift, Kelly at Lawyer’s Right Hand recommends an investment in her professional development. I would suggest paying for a NALS certification. It will make her feel more confident and ultimately benefits you and your firm as well. Don’t buy her gels, lotions, perfumes or bath products. Don’t buy her clothes. If you don’t want to give money, how about a gift certificate for a nice restaurant near her house so that she and her significant other can go out to eat? You could also go with a spa certificate, although there are some (crazy!) women who aren’t into that. Hope this helps. 
In my personal experience over the past six years, I’ve always received cash or gift cards. If you need any more ideas, please click on my Amazon links at left. 
For the person searching my blog for the cost of raising a child, BabyCenter actually has a calculator for this. That said, I’d say better not to look!
For the person who wants to know if it’s easier to get into law school part-time, the answer is NO! We’re smart enough, we’re good enough, and gosh darn it, our professors actually prefer us over the baby daytime students! That said, this article about the disadvantages is fairly accurate.
For the people searching for broke law student, you found me. Ditto for the people searching for law school diaries.
I really want to know what a “law school attack outline” is! Sounds vicious.
For the person searching for how to evaluate their legal secretary, do it nicely. Nothing in a review should be a surprise. Talk to your secretary before filling it out, if need be, and remember that your evaluation affects her compensation so please be as generous as you can be.
For the person searching my blog for the “negative impact of immigrants on America”, boy did you pick the wrong blog, buddy!
For the TWENTY people collectively searching for “Thanksgiving MILF”, “In-Law MILF” or “Lawyer MILF”, what the fuck?!?! Same for the FORTY-FIVE searches for “Aquadots Recipe.” 
On a similar note, I don’t know how you got to my blog searching for how to stuff THOSE up THERE! Ew!!!!
Finally, you can and SHOULD visit Ruben Navarette here.
I think Ana’s blog searches are much more interesting!
December 9th, 2007 Posted at Law School, Mommy stuff
So I spent all morning studying with my study partner while Pumpkinhead attended church with my parents and Chapin went off to the casino with his buddies (he turns 30 tomorrow). When I left church, my intention was to head straight home. But then my mother (really sick!) begged me to get her some groceries on the way home. When I dropped them off, I only stayed 5 minutes (again, with the intention of going straight home and studying). But then Pumpkinhead kept saying how pretty all the Christmas decorations were in the neighborhood (darn neighbors trying to outdo each other!) and begging me to put up the tree. I said next weekend and he whined a bit but then stopped pushing it.
Unfortunately my tendency to procrastinate got the better of me. I put the dirty boy in the bath and then snuck up to the attic to get our 6 year-old fake tree. When Pumpkinhead got out of the bath, I told him he could come downstairs and see his surprise. This was his happy reaction:
So then, once I got him dressed, we decorated as quickly as I could push him. I think the tree looks fairly good.
Now he’s laying on the couch next to the tree watching cartoons and I am about to dive back in to my CALI lessons and BarBri StudySmart practice tests. I WILL study hard today! I really am a night person so I’m just getting started. 
See how good I am at rationalizing away my slacker behavior? 
P.S. I love this ornament (a gift from Chapin).
P.P.S. I have GOT to stop visiting my own blog. I keep getting distracted by the Amazon lightning deals in the sidebar. I almost bought the 50% off KitchenAid mixer today… but then I remembered that a) I don’t cook and b) I’m trying to lessen my carb intake and mixers are really only good for baking yummy stuff. Oh well….
The Weekly MILS (Moms In Law School) Roundup** is the brainchild of Saramel (retired). It is hosted on a rotating basis at the PT-LawMom and A Little Fish in Law School blogs and is usually posted no later than Monday morning. Next week’s MILS Roundup will be hosted by Butterflyfish.
First off, go see pictures of the newest MILS baby, little Cora, here
Second off, if you are stressed by finals and only have time to read one thing, read this wonderful article by Andrea (PBB) for a little perspective!
After being beat down from the exam from hell, Butterflyfish definitely has the right idea. I actually did the same yesterday (vegged with the kid to recharge!)
LagLiv is DONE with exams! Lucky girl.
If Andrea thinks the men on the T are bad, she needs to read poor New Duck’s tale of woe (our newest MILS!)
Dakota has advice for law school finals at Adventures of Law School Mama and Magic Cookie has a great study aid tip here.
Kim at Diary of a Law School Mom was busy, busy, busy, but now she’s procrastinating along with me and Mommy on the Floor
Citations has some great advice for naive little 1Ls.
Meesh at KidSquared isn’t asking for too much.
Kim at Merits of the Case is gearing up after a rough semester.
Andrea at Peanut Butter Burrito could care less about finals because SHE GOT A JOB!!! Yay!!!
If you’d like to have your blog added to the MILS blogroll for weekly review or would like us to consider a specific post, drop the hostess(es) an email or leave a comment at their respective sites.
