How to get your husband to clean the house
scarymommy.com — 1. Put your house on the market. 2. Lovingly let him sleep in until 10:00am on a Sunday. 3. Awake him and tell him you need just a half hour of sleep before you go house-hunting.

Lily’s Trip to the Dentist
Lily’s Trip to the Dentist
scarymommy.com — I am not particularly fond of pain. Sure, I can handle it, I’m not my husband, after all. But, if given the choice, I’d just rather not.

The most random post I’ve ever produced. My sincere apologies.

The Worst Employee Ever

How to be the Best Wife in the World (Tip #1)
How to be the Best Wife in the World (Tip #1)
scarymommy.com — When your husband complains of an earache and stuffiness for weeks on end, you may want to offer up a bit of sympathy rather than rolling your eyes at him. He may just have a double ear infection, sinus infection and popped eardrum. Just something to keep in mind. {Sorry, honey.}  ... (more) How to be the Best Wife in the World (Tip #1)
Five Year Old Fashionista
Five Year Old Fashionista
scarymommy.com — I would never proclaim to be particularly fashionable. Vogue magazine bores me to tears, Project Runway doesn’t appeal to me at all and despite never actually doing yoga, I pretty much live in black yoga pants and t-shirts. So, I realize I am not one to judge someone else’s fashion ... (more) Five Year Old Fashionista
I was robbed. ROBBED, I tell you!
scarymommy.com — Which part of “do not cut too much off” did she not comprehend? And to think I paid for this? That’s the last time I let an acrylic nail wearing, scantily clad, frosted-haired whore near my sons. Mark my words. {It’ll grow back, right? RIGHT ??} Tweet ... (more) I was robbed. ROBBED, I tell you!

A House to call Home
scarymommy.com — Jeff and I move a lot. A LOT. We’ve been in our current house a whopping two and a half years and that’s the longest we’ve ever lasted in a place. The shortest was a mere six months, with a nine monther thrown in there too. Everybody we know thinks we’re crazy, and ... (more) A House to call Home
