Godless liberal. Mean old mom. Driving the world into 1000 years of darkness one blog post at a time.
Many weeks ago, I promised to write a post on potty training. You guys should know by now that I never do anything on time, so hopefully you weren’t holding your breath. Anyway, yesterday I got this message on my Facebook page: I have a 27-month-old boy that I am potty training, and when I…

Here’s a not-widely-known fact: I was born in Oklahoma City. Now you can all go hack into one of the random accounts I safeguarded with that drop-down question… I only lived in the great state of Oklahoma for two years, and I really don’t recall much — shadowy memories of walking out of a bedroom…

This is the continuation of last week’s story. The Wongs are all meeting up in San Francisco. It’s the early 1990′s. Peter has already left Eric and Kauai after his father came and “collected” him. Now Peter is going to Stanford Law School and dating Jen. Want to catch up (of course you do)? You can…

So Mother’s Day is over, and all I can say is, thank the gods. I know most moms look forward to Mother’s Day. Probably because they’re normal and well-adjusted people who are totally chill about spending a nice Sunday with family, getting an over-priced piece of jewelry designed by Jane Seymour, and maybe going out…

The story continues — we’re back in the early 1990′s. Peter has already left Eric and Kauai after his father came and “collected” him. Now Peter is going to Stanford Law School and dating Jen. Want to catch up? You can start at the beginning here. Or get a list of everything here. Or go…

Last weekend, the kids each had a sleepover. Unfortunately, I couldn’t manage to schedule them both on the same night, so it kind of felt like an elementary school B&B here (except for the part where I drag my ass out of bed and cook everyone breakfast). Anyway, my buddy, Cheryl Mancine-Saltzman, who’s much more…

Today is Jasper Adoption Day. One year ago, we brought home our little 10-pound puppy. Now he’s a whopping 70+ (frankly not sure of the exact amount because I hurt my back trying to weigh him the last time). I love having a dog. And I wouldn’t exchange Jasper for any other one, even though…

This is the continuation of last week’s story when Eric got into some serious trouble after getting drunk with Simon. Want to get caught up? Start here. And if you want a list of the whole torrid affair, go here. ******* “Your mother didn’t expect you home tonight, did she?” Frangelica glanced over at Eric from the bar….

The kids are in the middle of evil government testing week. This is the way to determine if your school is “good” because everyone knows that sitting kids down and having them fill in bubbles is the best measure of their intelligence. Just ask Einstein. Or Leonardo da Vinci. Or Legolas (apparently Orlando Bloom, the…

So just to solidly make the case that I’m absolutely off my rocker, I’m sharing the following. Actually, let me back up. Over the last couple of days, I posted some pictures of the cupcakes I helped make for a school fundraiser, and people have made some lovely comments about my decorating abilities. The thing…
