I Used 439 Words to Say “Fuck You”, and Now I’m Going to Use Even More

This post is going to live up to the blog title - you've been warned. I just used 439 words to say "fuck you", but in a nice way. I posted that little status update last night. I vague booked, though I am sure everyone knew I was talking about my ex husband. Many people praised me for being pedantic and asked what I said.

On Accusations and Lies

I have court today. My ex husband is taking me to court to reinstate his parental access that he terminated last year in court when the judge didn't rule in his favor. I won't bore you with all the details of my divorce for the last 15 years, but suffice to say my ex has not been a shining example of what a father should

When the Bough Breaks

Rock-a-bye baby, on the treetop, When the wind blows, the cradle will rock, When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall, And down will come baby, cradle and all. Rock-a-bye baby, on the treetop Who the hell puts their baby, along with the cradle, in a fucking tree? They don't. It's a metaphor. For mother (or father, primary caregiver - just so I don't offend anyone reading this who isn't

Snow, Snow and more Snow

Less than two weeks ago I actually said (back when we had nothing but grass and temperatures above freezing) that I though we might have a mild winter. It's my fault, I jinxed it, I take full responsibility. About a week after I made that stupid prediction it's been snowing ever since and the temperature has barely crawled above 0. Zero! Thankfully I have a

Have You Hung Your Holiday Lights?

  I have, sort of. I actually left the ones from last year up so I didn't have to put those up. Because I am short and am afraid of going to the top of a 20 foot ladder I can't put lights on my roof or my second story window. So my house looks like shit next to my neighbor's. He goes all out

Hey, Adam Levine by Tim Mahoney

Last year on the first season of The Voice, one of our very own local Minnesota boys got to sing in front of Christina, Ceelo, that country guy and Adam Levine. I don't have time to watch these kinds of shows like a fan should. I don't have time to watch three times a week or however many times it's on but I made a

What Is Ringworm?

What is ringworm*? I'll tell you what ringworm is. It's the reason my kid has been home for the last four days and the reason your kid came home with a note only slightly less better than the lice note. Thankfully we are not the lice family but ringworm is a very close second. What is ringworm? Until a week and a half ago I

Minnesota’s Children of the Corn

Ex#2 and I took the daughter to the Shafer Corn Maze this weekend. It seemed like a fun, family outing when I suggested it and obviously the others agreed because they were game to go. Normally this time of year, I am gearing up to start complaining about the cold. Not this year. This year in Minnesota the weather has been so lovely I've completely

I Have Child Induced ADD

I do. I have child induced Attention Deficit Disorder which means I can't focus on one task for more than a few minutes at a time. I'm not ashamed to admit I have this disorder, most mothers do. Scratch that, all mothers have child induced ADD. It starts during gestation, though we don't notice the degree of the disorder until after birth. In the beginning,

It’s Not The Heat, It’s The Minnesota Government Shutdown

Actually it is the heat too. It's been dreadfully hot and humid here and I really don't like the heat very much. Thankfully we are getting a bit of a respite with regard to temps these last couple of days but I hear according to Jonathan that it will be in the upper 90s come this weekend. Thanks Jonathan! I'd like to blame
