The Bad Massage

     Santa was very good to me this year and even left me a spa gift certificate in my stocking which I fully intend to use to go get a massage today.  (High fives, you North Pole stud, you!)  And every time I get a massage, I hope and pray with all my might [...]

The Anti-Hoarder

          While my husband and kids could easily qualify for the A&E show “Hoarders“, I could easily qualify for the show “Throw Away All Your Shit And Then Some“.  I’m constantly getting busted for throwing away somebody’s crap that was apparently REALLY important. I get so sick of all the random piles [...]

The Fugly Sweater

     Following in the footsteps of our non-traditional Thanksgiving, our Christmas this year was also a very alternative one.  We went over to our same friends’ house who hosted us for turkey day for some good old festive fun.  There were three total families there, with a whopping sum of seven kids in all. [...]

Twas the Nucking Futty Night Before Christmas

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through our pad, Every creature was stirring, being exceptionally bad. The stockings were hung too close to the floor, And demon dog was eating each one that he tore.  The twins were bouncing off the walls in their rooms, Just thinking about making their new Mario Kart zoom. [...]

Candy Bar Pie

      Want a quick & easy dessert idea for the holidays?  I have a tried and true winner that is easier than making microwave popcorn.  It’s quick, it’s yummy, and it’ll look like you could give Martha Stewart a run for her money.  Here’s the nitty gritty: 1 ginormous candy bar (your choice — [...]

Stretching the Holiday Truth

     I swear I feel like half the crap I try to feed my kids while I’m doing this parenting gig comes right back to bite me in the ass.  And with Christmas and all its many, many far-fetched ideas, it becomes even more difficult to try to explain myself.  Deer that fly, a [...]

Holiday Hanky Panky

           Every year at Christmas, my husband always puts panties in my stocking.  Some people get candy; I get thongs.  Now, normally this wouldn’t be any big deal.  I don’t know about you, but I’ve never been known to turn down a new pair of undies, especially when they’re pretty ones. However, [...]

The Christmas Brick

     The day my kids stop believing in Santa will be a day that physically hurts my heart because I know that little by little from that point on, their innocence will be slowly fading away.  I can remember exactly when I stopped believing as a little girl.  Thanks to some punk-ass blabber mouths at school [...]

Sing A Song

          My kids finally had their big first grade music show this past Wednesday at school.  I’d been hearing about this thing for weeks, and to be quite honest with you, I really had no clue what to even expect.  All I knew was that they would be singing some songs up on the big [...]

Busted!

     Since I’m flying down to help my mom out with my dad again today and don’t have time to write a full-on blog post, I thought I’d share a little video with you instead.  My kids must’ve done some snooping around in my drawers last night, and well, let’s just say they may [...]
