Eek! I’m late. The Ultimate Blog Party 2012 started last Friday and here I am coming to the party on Monday. Oh, well. It’s not like I’m claiming to be the most punctual, awesome blogger out there. In fact, my blog is a tongue-in-cheek look at all the ways I’m a bad mom. I decided [Read More]
The Halfway Mom
I usually make fun of myself on this blog. I point out how inane things like my son talking about his butt, or my daughter loving the Disney princesses, reflect back on me as a bad mom. I mean, really, butt talk is NOT classy nor are the princesses the healthiest role models. My husband [Read More]

The Cherub…and the Devil?
photo source Last fall we were blessed to move into a new (bigger!) house. Our old house is a couple miles away and we pass by it every now and then. The other night in the car was one such occasion in which we passed by our old home. My son spotted a statue on [Read More]

A Lovely Moment
Will got in the bathtub last night to wash up.“I love you, Mom,” he told me, as I stood in the bathroom straightening up. He tapped his heart. “You, Dad, Jesus and God are in here.” “That’s nice, Will,” I replied honestly. I was touched. “And Doodee [our cat] and Sydney,” he added, continuing to tap his [Read More]

Pants on the Ground, Pants on the Ground, Lookin’ like a Fool with your Pants on the Ground
Last Tuesday we got THE CALL. From Will’s principal. Sigh. Turns out he was in the coat room at the end of the day with 2 other boys. He told them to pull his pants down. They did. They saw his underwear. The Principal said he was very forthright about what happened, and she realized [Read More]

Poop, Pee, Butts, and Penises
Yes, you read that right! The other day I was driving home with Will and Sydney. “Mom!” Will said excitedly. “Guess the name of the book I got at the library?” “Uh,” I started. “Poop, Pee, Butts, and Penises!” offered Sydney, my sweet (?) 4-year-old. “Hee hee hee!” Strangely, that was NOT the name of [Read More]

Easter 2011
I hope you all had a happy Easter! We enjoyed the long weekend together, since Chad got a half-day on Good Friday. First, we dyed Easter Eggs. Chad even got into the act this year. In fact, he drew a butt on one of Will’s eggs. From that point on, I lost both my big [Read More]

Holiday Butts
“Where are we going today?” asked my 4-year-old this morning. I’m home with her and her brother all this week. “To school. I wish it was miraculously open,” I wanted to say, but didn’t. “We have to go to the bank and the store,” I replied, “and I have to sit down at the bank [Read More]

More about Butts
My (few!) loyal blog readers know that my 7-year-old loves butts. He loves talking about butts, wiggling his butt, randomly showing his butt, etc. How appropriate, then, that this summer we grew in our very own backyard a tomato that looks just like a butt! Even the plant life recognizes that I’m a bad mom. [Read More]

Experienced Bad…School?
It’s back to school time and Will is now in 2nd grade. Last night as he was getting dressed for bed, I started chatting with him about his day. “What was your favorite thing you learned about in school today?” He stopped putting on his jammies and smiled. Then he stuck his butt out. He [Read More]
