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…
My daughter isn’t in Girl Scouts, and I’m not gonna lie — it’s because I’m scared. Over the years, I’ve heard tale of cookie selling hell, and I feel like my adrenal glands are already shot as is. The last thing I need is people being pissed at me for being a bad Cookie Mom…
So this is why I’m insane. Actually, make that part of why I’m insane. Telling the whole story would take way too long. Yesterday I went skiing with the family and some friends. It was lovely — warmish, mostly rock-free, and not very crowded (most of the Californians were already sitting in traffic on their…
So Saturday, we finally made it to the pumpkin patch. Little background — we usually go to a pumpkin patch in town, but this year, we thought we’d try out a newish place on the outskirts that our daughter went to on a class trip. It’s owned by a family who live on their farm,…
Today was, well, interesting… Every year since the kids were about 3, we’ve gone to the Reno Balloon Races. We drag everybody out of bed before the sun comes up, drive down to a big park with a bunch of freakishly perky people, walk around in the dark, and freeze while we watch close to…
Meet Marian, mother of three who’s just started blogging but clearly has plenty of material to keep her writing over at Just Keep Swimming. This toothpaste thing is such a pet peeve of mine, too. If they made World’s Worst Moms toothpaste, it would be clear and self-destructing after five minutes. I put Molly in…
Hey, would you look at that? I’m not dead, just a total slacker. More on that later. But for now, before it’s officially the end of the holidays, here’s one last taste of Christmas from Ginger (aka Spicey Mom), one of our all-time favorite World’s Worst Moms. While these pictures probably won’t end up on…
Happy Throwback Thursday! This World’s Worst Moms moment is from Vicki Sehy at Nature’s Details. I believe this post got the very first “White lies biting you in the ass” tag. But looking back, it was easily in the running for the “No good deed goes unpunished” label as well. I am the world’s worst…
Sarah, who blogs at Just Outside the Loop, shows us just how bad a mom she (apparently) already was before she even put her baby in the car. If this safety inspector lady ever found the World’s Worst Moms site, she’d probably have us all flogged. I went to get the car seat inspected today…
You know how people are always comparing things to crack? “These doughnuts are like crack.” “Watching Glee is like crack.” “This black tar heroin from Colombia is like crack.” Well, add one more to the list. This story is from Rachel Joy, an American living in the Philippines with her husband and three young children….
So come on in. I made some Arnold Palmers. And a nice jello salad...
