Say what?

I am not very good at acronyms. You know like BYOB, or ATM. Those actually stand for something? So when I started on Facebook and I kept coming across letters like "ttyl" and "btw" I was confused.

So I Googled it (a phrase I have to explain to my mother every time I use it).

And came up with this handy website. http://www.abbreviations.com/

When I got to what ttyl actually stands for I was then left to guess what it was intended to mean. For example, it can me "totally," "talk to ya later," "ta ta ya loser" or the most baffling of all "through the yawning lounge." What the heck is the yawning lounge? Anyone younger than me who knows what this is referring to (and I hope I did not just post something pornographic) please uh, "school" me.

Another acronym that I run across a lot is SAHM. Which I first read with mild dyslexia as SHAM (great someone who is a big fat fake, but at least honest). It took me an embarrassingly long time to finally figured out it meant "stay at home mom." Yes, I can describe in 30 pages or less the cause and effects of the Plague in 1349 Italy, but I cannot derive what 4 letters stand for. Book smart. Not street smart.

SAHM does not have any other meanings but stay at home mom, at least according to my handy website, which I did not consult in trying to decipher this particular abbreviation (book smart, remember). So I move for a second definition:

"STILL A HOT MOMMA"

Because I have seen my sister in a bathing suit, my sis in law in a tank top on a boat, posted friends who run a 5k with me, seen new moms with beautiful babies, a girl survive a plane crash, friends at their children's weddings, friends planning weddings, and ladies who save dogs, mothers who are fighting cancer, raising chickens, and moving across the country/to another country.

I'd say there is a lot more to being a stay at home mom than four simple letters can sum up.

And it is hot.
