"  By the middle of my kids&amp;#039; holiday break, I usually need a break - from the loads of wet snow clothes, the already broken toys and gadgets, the &amp;quot;He started it!&amp;quot;s and the umpteenth episode of &amp;quot;Survivorman.&amp;quot; (Why do I want to watch someone make a fire from two sticks and some dead leaves more than once?) I&amp;#039;ve found some fun places on the Internet where a Mom can get a little entertainment amidst the holiday break chaos. If you&amp;#039;re feeling like I am right about now, maybe you might want to check them out ...before someone tells you who started it this time. Mommy Madness (http://www.mylifetime.com/mommy-madness/) Lifetime&amp;#039;s original web series, starring Angela Hoover, a mom and comedian, makes for fun been-there, done-that viewing. If you&amp;#039;ve got about three minutes (hey, lucky you!), watch how Angela attempts to come up with party gift bags at the last minute. And check out what happens when she tries to leave motherhood for the board room. (Hint: Everyone put your hands out for the Purell.) The Jeannie Tate Show (http://jeannietate.com/) If you missed this hilarious web series featuring &amp;quot;everyone&amp;#039;s favorite soccer mom&amp;quot; Jeannie Tate, you can still watch old episodes on the Internet. Created by writer-director Maggie Carey and writer-star Liz Cackowski, Jeannie interviews celebrities, who are stuck between her charges and the dry cleaning, in her mini-van. A send-up of that suburban mom we all love to hate, Jeannie takes us to the gym, the sidelines of her kids&amp;#039; soccer game, an Oprah taping and the drive-thru at Burger King. Beware of the Dog House (http://bewareofthedoghouse.com/VideoPage.aspx) My cousin sent me a link to this, and I laugh every time I watch it. Created by JC Penny, this funny video is about what happens to a man who buys his wife a vacuum as a gift. He winds up literally in the dog house, a place where men who did dumb things to their girlfriends and wives serve time. If your guy got you a vacuum or a &amp;quot;Buns of Steel&amp;quot; video for the holidays, pass this one along with my sympathies. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
