What’s the point if I have to clean on the Monday AFTER Mother’s Day?

May 9, 2010 no manual for parenting

Sure I can take a rest today. Sure I can go out and have fun and enjoy myself. (Well, I actually can’t since my husband left for Canada this morning… So I am single-parenting for the next ten days…) But really, if things are not taken care of at home TODAY, I know I have [...]

WTF Wednesday: A great week to be a misanthrope

May 5, 2010 imho is just a polite way to say I know you don't give a hoot what I think but I'm going to say it anyway

I am having a hard time with this post: I cannot decide which WTF moment to lead with. Too many blazing instances of human stupidity, greed and bigotry circulating the Interweb and I am at a loss. But forge on I must since if I don’t write a WTF Wednesday post this week, it would [...]

If only patience could be bought

May 1, 2010 no manual for parenting

I suspect that some of you are tired of me criticizing myself for not being a good mother. Self-deprecating humor can only go this far when you are not a stand-up comedian.  I admit that it does sound like I am fishing for compliments. Or at least, some sort of desperate reach for affirmation. If [...]

WTF Wednesday: Letter to Congressman

April 21, 2010 imho is just a polite way to say I know you don't give a hoot what I think but I'm going to say it anyway

Now that healthcare reform bill has been signed into law, and we are NOT holding our breath to see when changes can really be carried out, probably years, and by then, I’d probably be dead from holding my breath especially since I can in all honesty hold my breath for only 10 seconds under normal [...]

Warning Signs: To hell in a handbasket

March 8, 2010 a picture is worth a thousand words

I know that the Catholic Church, and many other Christian churches, has a complicated relationship with Science. So I appreciated the fact that they DO indeed include Science in the curriculum for Catholic schools. In the public schools that my kids have been to, Science has always been taken as a given. There was never [...]

Random pictures I took with my phone because I could

February 1, 2010 a picture is worth a thousand words

This post should be filed under “Random pictures I took with my phone because I could” and “I am swamped at work but I need to feed my Tamagotchi aka blog so I am taking the easy, FINE, lazy!, way out” and “I am taking 6:30 am flight out, again, which sucks ass, and I [...]

WTF Wednesday: Year-End Clearance

December 30, 2009 a picture is worth a thousand words

I have all these wonderful posts ideas for posts lined up for before the end of the year. Alas, I am in turbo-boost Catch Up mode: In less than 10 days, I had the wonderful experience of flying on 6 different airplanes. Not accustomed to being a road warrior, to rapidly adjusting to different time [...]

WTF Wednesday: Christmas Presents Don’t

December 23, 2009 a picture is worth a thousand words

Your pending divorce. Or the future bildungsroman written by your children. Courtesy of CVS. While you are at it, get one of those cards strategically positioned by the cash register at any liquor store to go with an item you carefully selected from this section.

I think my kids are scarred by this Christmas song…

December 17, 2009 no manual for parenting

I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus* Yeah. You know the lyrics. And seriously? This song is wrong on so many different levels… The innocent explanation of course is that DADDY is dressed up as Santa Claus. So mommy is actually kissing daddy, only that the poor kid has no idea and is probably going to [...]

Don’t say I didn’t warn you…

December 11, 2009 a picture is worth a thousand words

I was thinking since I am all over the map going from warm fuzzy pictures of my kids smiling like angels to crazy ass inappropriate jokes and cursing to crazy ass all-out ranting on people/events/things that piss me off. I either have ADHD or Bi-Polar, I realized, or as my husband would gladly tell you, [...]
