Us Moggers and Tweetheads at MomstoWork couldn’t resist the  Momfinition challenge at TwitterMoms to contribute five definitions to a mom dictionary. Here are ours, and as always, we went overboard and came up with a few more than requested.

And don’t forget to check out other fun definitions, like Keything Ring (what babies chew on) at ParentsConnect.

• Hug hogger. “That little boy won’t stay out of my lap. He is a real hug hogger,  keeps pushing his twin out of the nest.”
• Ankle biters. “Watch out for the ‘ankle biters’ on the floor.”  An Aussie expression for toddlers who are crawling.
• Guilting me out.  A working mom phenomena:  “Stop reminding me about his dental appointment, you are guilting me out.”
• Mesopotamia. Imaginary country. “Don’t go into that room,  it’s Mesopotamia (a complete disaster area).”
• The NoSayer. “Are you playing with mommy’s earrings? No, mom,” says child, while doing it anyway. “She is such a NoSayer,” says Dad.
• Mogger. A mommy who blogs too much. “She’s a real mogger and Tweethead. Always tweeting and blogging and never watching her kids.”
• Tweethead. See above. “She’s such a Tweethead, much worse than a junkie. Couldn’t stop tweeting to save her own kid’s life.”

Put them together and what do you get?

“Don’t go into Mesopotamaia. The ankle biter got in there, despite telling me he hadn’t. What a nosayer … and then his twin followed him. I feel guilted out that I don’t clean up enough. But hey, they still love me, despite me being a preoccupied Mogger, they are always fighting to get in my lap, particularly John, the little hug hogger.  Is that too long for a tweet? Oh gee, how can tweethead like me get that all into 140 characters. Time to  try Facebook? I think NOT tweeps.”
