The wrong panties have the power to destroy a good time, and goodness help you if you aren’t in a position to go without them– for instance, you’re wearing tight jeans and would rather not get rug burn down there. Here I am on a very short nature walk. I could have extended this walk for much further if I hadn’t worn the wrong panties… … Continue reading The Right Panties

So here I am, a mom on a mission, rampaging through my kid’s room with a single-minded determination to put things in order. Let me make clear that I’m notoriously scatter-brained, so single-minded anything is a stretch for me at best.

Fitted button down floral tops tucked neatly into white high-waisted bellbottoms, tailored for her body. “Where are these clothes,” I would ask her. The answer was always the same: “Long gone.” It really disappointed me that she hadn’t thought, in those years before I was … Continue reading Outfit Post: Pleated Skirt and Crop Top
You’ve seen those television shows where the woman wakes up before her husband, tiptoes to the bathroom, does her hair and makeup then slips quietly back into bed and feigns waking up gorgeous and put together? I’m sure my kids have their own sick version of that trick. While I lay peacefully asleep, they’re whispering in the dark, morning breath carrying sordid plots. Before their … Continue reading Morning Breath and Scheming
