Things have been quiet here on the blog because I have been suffering from snowpocalypse fever. Snowpocalypse fever is when you have a bunch of shitty, but funny in retrospect snow-related adventures, but you have to get some distance before you can talk about them. It has now been a little over a week since […]
SCREWED BY SURVIVAL INSTINCTS
When you are a parent, survival instincts usually come to your rescue. Babies somehow know who is mommy, how to get food and how long they can make you go without sleep before you’ll chuck them in a canal. However, there is one area in which survival instincts screw you from every direction. It can […]
WHY MY KIDS ARE GLAD I’M HOME
The last time my husband went out of town, he brought the kids back a coffee mug and a dish towel. I shit you not, those were his idea of appropriate gifts for a 1.5 and 3.5 year old. As I am clearly the better parent, I was determined to outdo him. (Not hard…) In […]
CAN WE BRING WIGS BACK IN FASHION?
This week I came to the conclusion that the four inches of wispy split ends I was trying to rock as “long hair” wasn’t fooling anyone. I wanted them off and I wanted it done yesterday. I couldn’t wait until my normal stylist could fit me in. I started calling around and within a few […]

Their humor bloggers sucked me in and so I “liked” their facebook page so I could keep up with their content. BIG MISTAKE! Everyday I am treated the same series of posts. Thanks to the stupid facebook algorithm, I […]
I AM A BAD MOM, EPISODE 552
(Alex – if you are reading this, stop now. Of course I find cursing to be unacceptable. And I would never say a bad word in front of the kids. Don’t be ridiculous.) Is he gone? Ok… I have a relaxed attitude when it comes to cursing. I am not so naive as to think […]
MOMMA NEEDS A NEW PAIR OF SHOES
Today the countdown to my trip to the US starts. Normally I’d be dreading the idea of 8 hours on a plane, but this time I am going without the kids. 8 hours in a cardboard box all by myself sounds like a dream vacation. As I’ll be traveling alone, I can booze it up […]
