{Unsolicited Admissions of Parenthood Failure at it's Finest}
So What If:
*I have approximately 564,872 magazines piled up on my counter top waiting to be read. And when Mr.McHunky made the egregious error of trying to dump some in the recycling bin I went all Psycho Wife on him. I'm going to read them, really I am. When I get a free minute...
*I walked the dog at 10pm because Mr.McHunky wasn't feeling well and I was being a....sigh, good wife. Normally I am a responsible pet owner and pick up my dogs poo. However, when it's pitch black outside, the street lamp is flickering on and off and then I hear a rustling in the bushes near where Bailey is doing his business...all bets are off and I ran home like a little bitch, dragging a small dog behind me who was still in the squatting position. That'll teach him to squeeze it out a little faster.
*I may have intentionally sneezed on a lady in the check out line at Wal*Mart this weekend. She rammed her cart past me trying to beat me to the check out line, then proceeded to hold up the entire line of people behind her because her son was half a mile behind her with the second cart. When I voiced my opinion of her obvious lack of manners and breeding, she told me to go do something to myself that is anatomically impossible. When her kid finally made it up to the line with the second cart, the rude lady grabbed the end of it and pulled it so hard that she almost hit Maia. She's lucky she didn't or it would've been a bloodbath.
*I forgot to throw the laundry in the dryer one night and had to tell Maia to turn her socks inside out and wear them again the next morning. She's only 7, her feet haven't had the chance to work up a stink yet. She came home from school that afternoon and told me that she informed her teacher, her gym teacher and the bus driver that I made her wear dirty socks to school. Thanks kid.
*Ty came home from school with an announcement about a fifth grade field trip and assembly coming up soon. As I read through it I noticed that the section requesting parent volunteers and chaperones had been blacked out. I asked him if it was blacked out on everyone's paper and he said no, just his. Great. I've been black listed from volunteering in fifth grade. I told you I was on a list.

This is a very funny post!! I hate when I forget to switch the laundry. I'm not so sure about a 7 year old's feet not smelling... my daughter's feet smell really bad. I mean Really Bad. Like we must burn these shoes they smell so bad! Unfortunately I must admit she gets it from me!
ReplyDeleteMy 4 year old has those stinky feet. And the 11 year old, but we won't talk about his feet because the mere mention of them makes me gag!
DeleteYou make me LOL! This is awesome--totaly b-atch who deserved it at Walmart, I say. And hey, not exactly "Mom of the Year" to be blacklisted from your son's school, but more time for blogging/trolling pinterest, right? Go get 'em ;)
ReplyDeleteYeah I don't think I'll be on the short list for "Mom of the Year" but the kids are still alive so.....I'm good.
DeleteOMG! That is hysterical!
ReplyDeleteYou were nicer to the lady in Wal*Mart then I would've been, and I don't even have kids! Kudos to you.
ReplyDeleteThey only blacklisted you from Chaperoning because they don't want the other parents to feel bad that they can't live up to how undeniably awesome you are. Their loss!
Have a great week!
The Wal*Mart lady is lucky I remember my meds that day. Or it would've been even uglier. I did stare her down and then stalked her in the parking lot until she looked sufficiently terrified.
DeleteI like the way you think. I read your comment to Mr.McHunky and he looked doubtful but I think you're on to something. Ha!
OOh you are hilarious! That wal-mart lady was lucky it wasn't worse!
ReplyDeleteI know, right?
DeleteSo what if you are so far above the other parents at school that they feel threatened to have you in their presence! Personally I'd take it as an honor. I would have apologized to the lady in walmart when I sneezed and said "I'm so sorry. Don't worry, the doctor said that it was very rare for others to catch this from a simple sneeze or touch" as I quickly tried to brush off my sneeze germs....with my hands.
ReplyDeleteI like the way you think! It is an honor. They can't handle all of my awesomeness.
DeleteI wish I'd have thought of that to say to that lady. She was terrified by the time I stalked her through the parking lot, telling her that might've sent her over the edge. Ha!
Holy crap, I hate that I just now found this blog! You said you might be my evil twin, but I'm not sure--maybe just twins. My mother did have a bad rep, you know.....
ReplyDeleteI love that you ran from a rustle in the bushes--I just did a post about my fear of the dark. Your better than me--I wouldn't have taken the dog out after dark in the first place!!!
I was born in the 70's, it was a crazy time. You just never know....
DeleteI have a whole post coming early next week about my experience with the bush rustle. That sounded very dirty, didn't it? Whoopsy.
Holy crap, why did it take me so long to find your blog? You said you might be my evil twin, but I'm not sure--maybe just my twin. My mom DID have a bad rep....
ReplyDeleteI love that you chickened out because of rustling in the bushes. I just did a post about being afraid of the dark. I wouldn't even have taken the dog out! Forget the mean moms at school. You don't need that kind of drama, anyway.
Great post!
Hilarious!!!
ReplyDeleteIsn't being on the 'not a volunteer at school' list kind of a win? It would be in my books. Congratulations! You will no longer be guilted into unnecessary bake-athons and 'fun' filled activity days surrounded by other peoples' kids!
ReplyDeleteIt's a total win. Between the bake sale and the sex ed fiasco I figure I'm off the hook until every member of the PTA moves on to other schools.
DeleteI have tons of magazines I need to read too. And books.
ReplyDeleteI had to stop buying books because I couldn't keep up with them. Now I download the sample to my Nook and only buy it when I'm looking for something to read.
DeleteMy magazines are all kinds of piled up right now. But I totally agree - I WILL get to them. Eventually. :)
ReplyDeleteP.S. I'm hosting a link-up party, too - would love for you to join in on the fun! (And this post totally counts!)
There might be something good in those magazines that I would miss if I threw them out! I can't take that chance.
DeleteWait did he black it out or did the teacher?? Going to have to go read that other post.
ReplyDeleteAnd what is with that lady in Walmart! Holy cow lady, glad you sneezed on her.
I don't get the Wal*Mart crowd. They act like someone pissed in their cheerios the entire time they are in the store. It makes me itchy.
DeleteLOL at your daughter telling everyone you made her wear dirty socks to school. Hilarious.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up!
