CONTEST DETAILS:
Ever notice how motherhood inspires a whole new language? Perhaps you recognize a few of these new parenting terms that haven't quite made it into Webster's:

Sleevekerchief [sleev-KUR-cheef] noun: What you use to catch your kid's snot when you're out of tissues.

Diapergami [dahy-per-GAWM-ee] noun: That secret parenting fold that turns a nasty diaper into a tidy package ready for the trash.

Keything Ring [kee-THEENG-reeng] noun: What your keychain becomes in a teething pain emergency at the grocery store.

Sound familiar? Every mom has their own set of momfinitions and ParentsConnect and Twittermoms want to know yours in our Momfinitions contest!

How It Works:

To participate, write a post on your own blog with your Funniest Five Momfinitions! Describe the meaning of the words, use them in a sentence (just like a spelling bee!), and how they apply in your everyday life. Your blog post should include at least one link to the Momfinitions article on ParentsConnect.com. (You can link directly to the Momfinitions article found here: http://www.parentsconnect.com/articles/mom-definitions.jhtml). Feel free to upload photos or videos to better describe your Momfinitions.
Then return to this discussion page, post a comment below summarizing your blog post, and include an active link to your qualifying blog entry. The deadline to enter is July 22, 2009. Winners will be contacted the week of July 27.

And now for the prizing...WOO HOO!
- The first 20 bloggers to enter the contest receive $50 cash. Nice!
- The blogger who gets the most comments on their blog post will receive $100 cash. Even better!
- The funniest blog post judged by the experts at Parentconnect.com will win $200 cash. Go for it!!!

So go ahead: dream up and write definitions for your Five Funniest Momfinitions. Pretty soon we'll have a whole Momfinition Dictionary!

Infant Amnesia - The phenomena that makes us forget the trials of having a newborn thus enabling the human race to continue.

Food Poor - Remember when you got your first house, money was tight and you were 'house poor?' Its like that only replace with 'house' with 'food' because you have two eating machine teenagers in your home.

Huffstompandroll - When your child does not get what they want they huff loudly, stomp a foot and roll their eyes. Perfected by teen aged girls.

Y-O-Y! - Actually 'Why, Oh Why." Used by moms of boys when their XY chromosome child does something like pushing his brother down the stairs while he is in the laundry basket.

No Namaste - In yoga, like we have the time to do that anymore, the word Namaste means that "the light within me honors the light within you." When your children have light bulb moments like jumping off the roof to see if they can make it to the swimming pool, you are not gonna honor that enlightenment.

Here is another one. Thought this up after this mornings drama.

Tantrumly Late - Your child throws a monumental hissy fit when told he will return to the basketball day camp he so loved the day before. You let child flail in his room because said fit is so legendary you would actually feel guilty throwing you thrashing, screaming child at an unfortunate rec center camp leader. When child is informed that he will not have siblings or mommy as playmates and that he is banned from anything with a screen, camp starts to sound really good. Jr.Jekyll/Jr.Hyde them puts on a happy face and bounds onto the basketball court showing no signs of the trauma of the morning. He is there, albeit Tantrumly Late.
