Did someone call the drama llama?…

“Peabody you are a naive idiot. I’m a stay at home mom and not only do I not have enough money to have a gym membership, I don’t have enough money for daycare. So yes there are some woman that choose to leave their children while they go work out but not all mothers have that luxury. Watch what you say or STFU.” That’s the joy of running your own blog, I don’t have to shut the f*ck up nor watch what I say. For the record, I have more stay at home mom friends than I do working mom friends. My mother was a stay at home mom. Once I was school age she went to work part time but didn’t go to work until after I left for school and was back by the time I was home from school. Though my mother will tell you that she thinks people (mostly women, there are stay at home dad’s) make it much harder on themselves than it needs to be. She still says to this day that raising three children and being a stay at home mom was not quite the ordeal that people make it out to be. Nowadays … [Read more...]

Are you going to eat that…

funfetti cream cheese muffin

I think next to former smokers the most annoying people are people who just lost weight and love to try and tell you how to eat. I personally don’t smoke, I’ve never smoked a day in my life, but I’m not going to annoy someone by telling them how bad it is. Guess what, they know. It’s pretty hard not to these days. What is hard to figure out nowadays is what to eat. First it was no fat. Then fat is okay. Then only certain fats. Don't eat eggs. Okay eat eggs. Only eat the white part of the egg. Oh wait you can eat all the egg again. Then eat only meat. Don’t eat too much fruit. No white food. No potatoes. And on and on. It changes often. If I followed the guidelines I should technically already be dead based on my bacon consumption. I loathe going out to eat with my friends who are on a health kick. I just went out to eat with my friend who is a stay at home mom. She has no job (*she has no conventional job I realize that being a mom is a hard job. But at no time when … [Read more...]

Way Back Wednesday…welcome Fall, it’s about time

I have a friend who is historically 20 minutes late to everything. I will be at the movie theater at the time we were supposed to meet and I will get a text, just leaving now see you in a few. A few? You live like 30 minutes away. And of course I get the “it’s a perfect excuse to get dinner before the movie” line when we are too late to see the movie at the time we were supposed to. But what makes her even a little more on the annoying side is that while she is late to almost everything, if you are late in the slightest she points it out. “I’m pretty sure we said 8, not 8:05”. Yes I usually want to smack her. And speaking of late… While on the calendar it is not officially fall, when I turn the calendar over and see the word September, I best be getting some fall like weather. And I didn’t. Fall-like weather took its sweet ole time getting here…thirteen days to be exact. Yesterday was the first day I woke up and actually felt a little chill and tinge regret that I … [Read more...]

First loser…

Sunday night my team made it to the championship game for the second time in two seasons...and for the second time we lost. Don't feel bad for us though, we are usually just surprised to win a game, let alone make it to the championship..of the lowest division. :) Immediately following our game, my team made the commitment to make sure we stayed in shape in the off season and started right into dry land training. By the way, our shape is round. :P That's our team mascot....Fernandomarshmallow (one word) who is named in loving memory after a dead hamster (not mine). Just three more weeks to the new season. … [Read more...]
