Isn’t funny how you can feel down one minute and back up the next?

9Apr2007 Filed under: Blogging, motherless, serious Author: slackermommy

Last Friday I was feeling sorry for myself about my situation with my parents when I got an email that I’m a recipient of the Top 100 Mom Blogs Award. It was completely unexpected and came at a moment when I needed a pick-me-up. Life is funny like that. Patricia Arquette’s character on the show Medium summed it up the best on the last episode. Her explanation was that hope is the high, dread is the low and life is everything in between. I love that. It’s much better than my explanation of life when I’m in a funk which is that we are all basically unhappy and just living for the next happy moment. How’s that for some doom and gloom thinking?

I’m waiting for someone to organize the Top 1 Million Infidel Awards or The Greatest Fart Reference Blogger Of All Time. I would so totally clean up in both contests.

About this blog

I am a self professed slacker mom. I answer to Kristie or slackermommy.

My house is a mess, my kids are obnoxious, and my husband is sexually deprived.

I drive my kids to school in my pj's, I can make a couple of Happy Meals from the floor of my car, my kids eat in front of the television, and I believe a dirty house helps kids have a healthy immune system.

If you can relate then this blog is for you. No sugar coating on my blog. Let's get real about being a mommy, wife, sister, and friend.
