    Alright folks, do you know what today is? You should! It's Armed Forces Day, aka the one day of the year that we take the time to celebrate our troops.

    Oh, you thought that was Memorial Day? Or maybe Veterans Day? Nope ... those are both national holidays with a military bent, but they're also both reserved for folks who have left the military. But today is the one day when the active duty military get their (very well-deserved) due.

    It's a blessed day today! Know why? Emilia Clarke, who plays badass Daenerys Targaryen on Game of Thrones, turned 25 today. Kind of hard to believe that she's so young yet can be so commanding and amazing on screen. And, on top of her acting talent, she's a freakin' knockout. I've had a girl crush on Emilia since the first season premiered, and I'm not ashamed to admit it.

    We've seen her get harassed by her brother, get sold into marriage, eat a horse heart, get it on with her hot husband Drogo, lose a child, lose her husband, walk into fire and come out nude with some dragons, save said dragons from some warlocks, and free an entire slave army and become a leader. Is there anything the girl can't do?

    So, to celebrate all things Daenerys, here are her best quotes from the show and a video so you can see her crazy hotness in person. Happy birthday, Emilia!

    Jay-Z and Beyonce were not at the White House Correspondents' Dinner last night (and neither was Lindsay Lohan so simmer down, Tom Brokaw), but that doesn't mean there's nothing fun to report. Come for the jokes. Stay for the jokes, people. President Obama and host Conan O'Brien brought lots of chuckles last night with their joke lineups, one the best being the hilarity of Obama's fashion bangs. LOL!

    Here are the funniest jokes you missed if you didn't tune in last night (and seriously, who did?).

    Drew Barrymore has been a household name for just about as long as I can remember (we were the same age when ET came out!). A successful actress, filmmaker, and businesswoman (add wine and makeup to her list of endeavors), she's got money, fame, and fortune, and now, a new baby.

    But there's something the new mom says she doesn't have. Barrymore says she doesn't have "it all" -- and neither do any other women.

    It's an endless debate right now, it seems: Do we as women just need to listen to Sheryl Sandburg and "lean in" -- or is having it all a false ideal of something that is simply not possible? Feeling like we can't truly have it all is something most moms can relate to ... but maybe what we need to do is redefine what we mean by "all." Because, honestly, what else IS there?

    Just in case you haven't already seen the most hilarious parenting Tumblr happening right now, please do yourself a favor and check this out. Reasons My Son Is Crying. It's photo after photo of dad Greg Pembroke's 20-month-old son crying, and the reasons why.

    And all those reasons make SO MUCH SENSE! Like "He's in the largest toy store in America." Yeah, that would be horrible. "We let him put on the boots he loves to wear." That sucks! "It took me more than 0 seconds to take his shirt off." You monster. "He threw his dinner plate on the ground. Now he wants to eat dinner." Why didn't you have a second plate full of food waiting for him?!? Does any of this sound familiar, parents?!?

    The world seems to be taking Roger Ebert's death from cancer hard. I've been amazed by all the heartfelt articles and comments posted in his honor. The man and his work touched so many, but perhaps the most memorable words about him of all were in his wife Chaz Ebert's tribute to her husband and their life together.

    Approximately 200,000 people visited Disney World daily over Easter and I may have seen or bumped into 90 percent of them. What I marvel at, aside from the crowds and those Neanderthal looking turkey legs that have lines as long as the thrill rides (WTF?) is the fact that my kids can find things to cry and complain about almost constantly in the place where dreams come true.

    Luckily, mine weren't the only ones. Sure my son may have set some kids off when he screamed Mickey Mouse is DEAD in a crowded room? Oh, that happened as I was explaining Walt Disney (the original Mickey) was dead. Um, my bad.

    And yes, my daughter may have shed a tear about getting the "wrong" colored magic carpet, but I watched a toddler flailing on the ground exclaiming his ice cream was too "drippy." Nothing like watching other people with their children to make you feel sane! That said, here are things your children will probably cry about in the "happiest place on Earth."

    Protests flare up, snatch all the headlines for a few days, then silently fall away to make room for the next big explosion of controversy, even if it’s just to talk about a too-tight Kardashian skirt on a slow news day. The dust-up over Rick Ross’ date rape lyric has had a longer shelf life than most, however. Rightfully so. Dig this nonsense: "Put molly all in her champagne/she ain't even know it/I took her home and I enjoyed that/she ain't even know it," he rhymed on a track called “U.O.E.N.O.” It’s not even his song and it wouldn’t have gotten a quarter of this much attention if that line hadn’t caused such outrage. It’s nonetheless at the center of a protest organized by women’s rights org UltraViolet, who’ll will gather in front of Reebok’s flagship store in NYC to demand the company sever its endorsement deal with Ross and give his inappropriate-lyric-rappin’ tail the boot.

    Hold the presses! This conservative Republican chick agrees with John Kerry about something. While addressing a group of students in Berlin, the Secretary of State said that in America, “you have a right to be stupid if you want to be.”

    That’s completely true. In the land of the free and the home of the brave, we protect people’s right to say the dumbest stuff ever. Thank goodness for our politicians, because sometimes they really should think before they speak.

    In honor of John Kerry, here’s a list of some dumb things that our elected officials have said recently:

    Recently, I wrote a post about the phrases we all heard growing up and swore we would never repeat. It made me realize that 1) I have truly become my mother, and 2) we all speak in a similar "Mommy" code language.

    Let's be honest, there are a myriad of things we say when we really mean something else.

    So here's a handy translation of some of the most common "Mom" terms and phrases:
