Stair diving and misbehaving
2008-08-26 06:30:00 I can’t say enough how awesome it is to have my sister back home and living 20 minutes away. I honestly never thought I would see the day that we would live in the same city again. She is my best friend and my partner in crime. We’ve been stirring up shit since she moved ...

Why do I dream about dead babies?
2008-08-22 21:02:00 I have always had vivid dreams but ever since I began taking Wellbutrin six years ago my dreams are like motion pictures in my mind. The kind that are full of detail and make you feel like it’s really happening. Usually my dreams don’t make much sense but sometimes my stress and anxiety manifests in my ...

A ?Juicy? rant about the Princess Entitlement Complex
2008-08-19 19:27:00 Madeline’s surprise party on Saturday went well. She seemed genuinely surprised even though she had an idea that a party was in the works. What was interesting though was the behavior of two of her friends. To protect the guilty I will call the one Tiffany and the other Muffy. Tiffany is Madeline’s frienemy who believes ...

Do I have to be a mom today?
2008-08-16 17:00:00 I’m tired. I’ve only been getting 5-6 hours of sleep every night due to adrenaline, insomnia, stress, and worry. My sister has moved back home after living away for 15 years. Up until yesterday her and her family were staying here. It was pretty chaotic having four adults, six kids, three dogs, and two bunnies in my ... More About: Today , Tourette , Syndrome
Slacking white trash moms rock!
2008-08-15 16:14:00 Of course I said YES when PBN asked me to review The White Trash Mom Handbook. Duh! So forgive me if this review seems a bit biased. My sister and I have used the term “white trash” for years to describe cool, unpretentious, and fun women. When telling each other about a new friend it is ... More About: Rock , Moms , White Trash

Loser Christmas
2008-08-12 07:33:00 My sister and I have been estranged off and on (currently estranged) from our parents since we left home in our late teens. We weren’t usually estranged at the same time because our folks like to play the good/bad daughter game. When one was bad the other was good and we played along to keep ...

My top 5 slacker mom moments this week
2008-08-09 18:26:00 I washed my kids hair with the hose and a bottle of shampoo that I keep in the garage just for this purpose. (How’s that for white trash, Michelle?) I forgot to wash Madeline’s leotard for dance class so I threw it in the dryer with a Bounce sheet to freshen it up. I was running late ... More About: Slacker , Week , Moments
Blog the Recession!
2008-08-05 06:23:00 I love warm fuzzies and support from my friends. I also love giving warm fuzzies and so does Kristen from Motherhood Uncensored. She is asking us to spread the love amongst each other by doing some extra clicking. (Oh get your head out of the gutter!) “The premise is simple. If you read blogs, then ...

Font Conference
2008-08-02 17:40:00 If you are font obsessed like me then you will appreciate this video. The rest of you will be mildly amused. This has got me thinking of what font I am.

Midwestern Mommy update
2008-07-31 15:09:00 It looks like Lisa was told a bit prematurely by her doctors that she has cancer. The “something” on her cat scan may very well not be a mass. Her colonoscopy was clear and her blood tests are negative for cancer markers. The biopsy results should be back in the next day or so. For now ... More About: Mommy , Update
Midwestern Mommy needs support of the blogosphere
2008-07-29 18:19:00 Life has been so crazy for me since returning from BlogHer.

They were supposed to be free!
2008-07-27 07:42:00 You know what sucks? When you are such a slacker that you wait until the day of the premiere of Hanna Montana’s 3D concert on Disney to pick up the free 3D glasses from Walmart. Only to find out that they are all gone but there’s a pair in every t.v. guide which Walmart was also ... More About: Free

Magic Marker Monday
2008-07-21 21:27:00 I’ve previously posted this photo of Connor’s artwork but I love it too much to not post again as part of the Magic Marker Monday Meme. I love Connor’s penis people drawings.

I want to be a YES mom!
2008-07-01 12:00:00 I want to be a YES mom, really I do. I just don?t seem to know how. My natural instinct is to say NO, when my kids ask for something, especially when it comes to my almost 4 year old daughter?s endless requests. We can be digging through the craft cabinet getting paper and ...
I thought I was done with this crap?
2008-06-30 12:09:00 I went to a baby shower on Saturday. Yeah, it was fun. Yeah, we played “Baby Bingo” and some other cutesy games that the New-Mom-to-Be’s family made up.
