Somebody's Gotta Be The Bad Cop

It's a dirty job, but, unfortunately, somebody's gotta do it. And this weekend? Well, I was the one who got stuck being the bad cop. Cause short people lying straight to my face is just not something that I take too lightly.

It all went down on Sunday, which was an unfortunate flurry of activity around here with the kids coming off the high…

Guilt -- It's A Bitch Alright

Kids sure have a way of (figuratively) punching you right in the gut when you least expect it, don't they? Their unassuming words can wash a blanket of guilt right over you in nothing flat. And before you know it, you're feeling like the suckiest parent in the world and saving your pennies for the future therapy that your kid will inevitably need thanks to…

The Unfortunate Trash Can Fiasco

When you're a dog owner, like it or not, scooping the poop kinda just goes with the territory -- at least it's supposed to anyway. And unlike some of the other yahoos around here, I would personally never leave a steaming pile of lawn sausages in my neighbor's front yard. It's just not the neighborly thing to do. Now do I enjoy picking up a handful of…

High Fives To My Husband

Unlike the back-assward days of the 1950s, I, for one, do not always believe that Father knows best. However, as much as it might pain me, I've gotta give credit where credit is due. And sometimes, every once in a blue moon, my husband actually comes up with a semi-brilliant parenting strategy.

Like many households, getting our kids ready for bed at night…

Guinea Pig Pooper Scooper

See this shirt right here? I sooooo totally need this shirt. Because this sums up my life to a tee (pun intended). Who knew that such a cute little creature could shit this friggin' much? I don't know about you, but I most certainly did not. Yes, I bet our friend Patches drops at least one turd every thirty seconds. I swear the bottom of his cage looks like a…

Don't Forget To Tickle The Taco

I'm sure most of us have given our cell phones to our kids at some point or another to entertain them (i.e. shut them the hell up) while we run errands, right? And really, the worst that can happen is that we end up with a gazillion kids' game apps or an unexpected alarm going off at 3 AM (I speak from experience, y'all). However, who woulda thunk that the…

Is It Hot In Here Or Is It Just Me?

Know the great thing about getting older? No? Well, me neither! There's certainly not a whole lot that I find entertaining about the wrinkles, the aches and pains, the eye baggage, the gray hairs, the sleeplessness, and worst of all, the damn hot flashes! Seriously, is this the kind of thanks we get for shooting the future of America out of our uterus way back…
