I was up in Maine last week with my show MAMA'S NIGHT OUT (click on the link for a great performance clip). We were invited back to Deer Trees Theatre in Harrison for another sold out show, in fact they had to add 30 seats to accomodate the overflow....I'm bragging I know but I'm so proud of the ultimate momtourage - Mama's Night Out.  I'm really proud of our group and I couldn't be happier to be working with fellow funny moms and great friends Karen Morgan and Nancy Witter.

We have a blast when we're on the road.  First of all, it's usually only for 24 hours so we have to pack in days of partying (get the vodka) into one night.  We stay up late ranting, raving and laughing about the economony, politics, our neighbor's horrible children...till the wee hours of the morning.  I still love chatting with my single friends in the city but there's nothing like relating to fellow moms about motherhood, husbands, balancing career and family.....that's why we all need our own momtourages.  I couldn't be happier with mine.  What's yours like?

I used to be able to live frugally but nicely on about $150-200 a week.  It went on food and gas but I still had money left over for the little things like an ice cream at the park, a slice of pizza for Lily (I'm on Weight Watchers remember?), an impulse outfit buy for Lily or a quick trip to the dollar store for some lead laden pool toys.  But now, that $150-200 is just flying out of my pocket! 

I spent $48 filling up my gas tank the other day and that's for a small, economical car.  (I can't imagine what all those fools who drive SUV's were ever thinking.)  My car may be old but it still gets around 32-33 miles per gallon so I'm going to drive it till the wheels fall off.  Then, I went to the grocery store to quickly get some milk, bread, and other staples and I spent another $47 bucks!  Now, I've got just $5 cash till I break down and go to the cash machine.....something I hate doing.

All our friends are feeling the pinch too so we're having our very first 'pot luck' barbecue with our neighborhood momtourage in Brooklyn this Friday.  Everyone brings one dish so the responsiblity of feeding everyone doesn't fall on one family.  And, we each bring a cocktail pitcher or bottle of wine.  It's a cheap night out and it's going to be a blast 'cause there's nothing more fun than hanging with good friends and enjoying good food.....the laughter of all the kids playing in the background is a big help too.

What are you doing to lighten your budget?  Any tips on saving money?

Just want to give you the heads up that the family centric comedy show Mama's Night Out will be returning to Maine for a special, one night only performance on Thursday, July 10th, at Deer Trees Theatre in Harrison, Maine.  Mama's Night Out is my comedy momtourage or com-tourage starring Karen Morgan, Nancy Witter and moi. 

We all met and became great friends while filming the first season of Nick At Nite's SEARCH FOR THE FUNNIEST MOM IN AMERICA.  After that taping wrapped, we put together our own show and we've been touring to sold out crowds across the country. 

Mama's Night Out is comedy by mothers for everyone.  Hope to see you there.

Every day we hear crazy stories on the web.  Today apparently, the trend continues.  This one comes from BBC News.  A 30 year old woman gave birth during a friend's batchlorette party in the UK.....the kicker.....she didn't know she was pregnant.  Ally Ashwell, from Newcastle, was touring the seaside town's pubs and clubs in a bumble-bee outfit when she began to feel unwell. She returned to her hotel room, where the shocked 30-year-old found herself delivering her own baby. 

I hope she left a nice tip for the chamber maid.  How selfish taking the attention away from the bride like that.  What a Bridesmaidzilla.  I bet she's out of the wedding party. 

The fragile 2lb boy - named Owen - is being cared for in the intensive care unit of Blackpool Victoria Hospital.  He's doing well.

How the heck can this happen in this day and age?!  This wasn't an underage girl from a third world country this was a hard drinking, hard partying girl from England in a bee costume!  Maybe that was the problem, maybe she's been partying a little too much.  It's a bear in a bee costume!  That's an inside joke for my girls or momtourage - Mama's Night Out. 

While out with a few girlfriends last week, we noticed many men and women at the bar. It was 6pm. Obviously, happy hour after work. Honestly, it was a fluke that we were all out together at that time, but it was something that we had planned for some time. Actually, it got us thinking. Within this circle of my friends, we ran the gamut as far as mom 'type'. A few are full-time working moms, one part-time working mom, 2 business owners, and 2 'stay-at-home' moms.  As we started to talk about everything, including the challenges within our Hybrid Mom lives - as we often do, we came up with Hybrid Mom Happy Hour. What a great idea?! Why can't we get 1/2 priced drinks? We simply can't get to the bars and restaurants at 6pm any night of the week. Who will take care of the kids? Doesn't quite make sense to get a babysitter for that - well, at least not every week.  So, after that discussion I called a business relationship that we have in our community. This gentleman owns 12 Ruby Tuesday's in New York. Linda and I proposed the idea to him and he absolutely loved it.  Why am I writing this? Well, I want to hear from iVillage readers. Would you and your friends love a night out? Would you go to Hybrid Mom Happy Hour at a Ruby Tuesday's? It probably would be a Wednesday night from 8pm (after the kiddies are down and the hubby is home) to 11pm. 1/2 priced drinks plus a fun special Hybrid Momtini!!  Now, that sounds like a fun night out! Don't we deserve it?

I would just like to hear your feelings and thoughts and of course any feedback or ideas. Thanks for providing me with a platform enabling me to hear from the great iVillage readers! I look forward to hearing your comments. THANKS!
