I’m tired.
I’ve only been getting 5-6 hours of sleep every night due to adrenaline, insomnia, stress, and worry.
My sister has moved back home after living away for 15 years. Up until yesterday her and her family were staying here. It was pretty chaotic having four adults, six kids, three dogs, and two bunnies in my […]

I want to be a YES mom!

In: blogging friends, kids, parenting

I want to be a YES mom, really I do. I just don’t seem to know how. My natural instinct is to say NO, when my kids ask for something, especially when it comes to my almost 4 year old daughter’s endless requests.
We can be digging through the craft cabinet getting paper and […]

I’m giving serious consideration to writing that book appropriately titled, I Fucked Up. Now what? Over the last week I’ve had an epiphany that my discipline skills are not up to par. Now, after reading this post and this article I’m realizing that maybe my parenting skills aren’t that impressive either although I’m not as […]

I’m so thankful for temper tantrums

In: drama, kids

Yesterday while at a pool party my little red headed spitfire of a baby threw the mother of all tantrums. She was doing great considering we’ve just gotten back from vacation and an erratic sleep schedule. It’s amazing how the smallest thing can set them off. All I did was take away the open water […]

Home Sweet Home Part 1

In: drama, kids, photos

We have safely returned from our family vacation to Myrtle Beach. The weather was fantastic, our condo was beautiful, and we all had a good time. Of course with four kids in tow the vacation had some minor blips. It also wasn’t quite the sexcation that my hubby was hoping for either. Our oldest can […]

Good times

In: kids, photos, slideshow

I had a great weekend. Saturday night I went to a 40th birthday party with my hubby. I slipped on a hoochie mama top, curled my hair, and wore perfume. It’s been too long since I’ve done that. I even had a few martinis which I don’t do often since the hangovers just aren’t worth […]

Do your kids own one of these? It’s a fetal shark in a bottle. I don’t know how they get them but it completely grosses me out. Despite my protests my hubby bought the kids one on one of our trips to Florida. He seems to think it’s a rite of passage to own a […]

Mother of the year here!

In: kids, parenting, photos, video

I have many Mother Of The Year moments. Too many actually. So many that I could have an entire blog dedicated to being Mom Of The Year. I hope you realize that I’m being sarcastic. I’m far from that title and here’s a scenario to prove it.
My kids have turned into the pickiest eaters. They […]

What’s wrong with my kids?

In: desperate housewives, drama, kids, parenting

A few days ago I wondered what was wrong with people. Today I’m wondering what’s wrong with my kids. Yesterday my three oldest were playing together in the front yard. They were awful quiet. It had been at least ten minutes since one of them summoned me to referee a fight so I peeked out […]

At least they redeem themselves

In: kids, parenting, photos, serious

Sometimes I joke that it’s a good thing my kids are cute or else I might kill them. I’m joking people. Don’t get your panties bunched up. My point is that although I love my kids dearly they can drive me absolutely batty.
I recently boo-hooed in this post about not liking my oldest daughter at […]

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.
