Sunday is a twofold for my mother. It’s not only Mother’s Day but it is also my mother’s birthday. Every now and then the calendar aligns and that happens. Of course, it’s never all the fun having a holiday close to your birthday (I know) as people try and lump them together. Which is probably why the women in my family celebrate birthday month instead of just the day. :) I was visiting my adopt a grandma (sadly she moved a few weeks ago to VA) and I was laughing hysterical at something her roommate said. She had a shared room, and her roommate had her daughter visiting. The daughter was bitching and moaning about her two children and how exhausted she was and said to her mother “I just don’t know how did it. You made it look so easy”. The sweet old lady opened her mouth and said “That’s because it wasn’t hard. But you make it hard on yourself by doing all this extra bullsh*t that back in my day people didn’t do. You planed G’s birthday for weeks and stressed … [Read more...]
Being a Super Mom puts psychiatrists out of business, so stop trying to be one…
The life of P…
The good: I came from barely making it into my Fantasy Hockey Playoffs to winning the whole darn thing. Which may or may not involve winning some money. Sadly I won’t be doing anything fun with the money, unless paying medical bills is fun. Go Bow Legged Swamp Chickens! The bummer was I had to beat my really good guy friend in order to make it to the finals, but he was nice and said if he couldn’t win he was glad I did. Ah, that’s nice…thanks S, you’re awesome. My hockey team got a sponsor and will be getting new jerseys come this Fall/Winter season! No more pagan sheep for us. Even better it’s going to be sponsored by a local brewery. Which if you live in the Seattle area try and get your hands on some Odin Brewing Company beer. You can check out where to get it here. And to make them even more awesome…they make a bacon beer. Um yeah you know that is beyond awesome. I appear through obsessive vacuuming and cleaning to have rid my place of carpet beetles. I every … [Read more...]
I only run when being chased…
Sunday my personal Facebook page was filled with many, many people I know running the St. Patty’s Day Dash. Recently there has been a resurge in my friends wanting to run in 5 or 10K’s with even a few venturing out into the marathon world. There are two types of people in my life who are runners: My friends who ran in junior high and high school and have always been runners (these people I can deal with), and then those who seemed to be having some sort of crisis in their life and they decide it will be awesome to run a 5K, then a 10K and so on. The second half of people are annoying. Really annoying. Now before you say have you ever done it…yep, been there, done that, hated that, got the t-shirt, and the free crap they give you in the bag afterwards…oh and the orange slices. I have just over twenty 5K’s in my repertoire and three 10K’s (truly stupid). And yes for the record, I was going through crisis; a break up with a boy that I thought for sure would be the one. And … [Read more...]
