Happy Hump Day!

Fair warning, this post might be considered inappropriate by some of you. If you are offended easily, please turn back now. If you don't want to read a funny blog post that mentions sex or orgasms, turn back now. 

Are you still with me? Did I get your attention at sex? Pervert! Just kidding. I'm glad you are still reading this! 

I was browsing the wonderfully addictive, super huge time-wasting site known as Pinterest last night for food pictures to avoid going to my fridge and eating out of boredom, when I came across a recipe for "Better than Sex Cake".  Here's the image I found. Looks decent right?

Parenting Problems

We've all been there. You are minding your own business, probably wearing yoga pants, doing house hold work like laundry, washing the dishes, or cooking dinner. Suddenly someone approaches from behind and pinches your derriere. You turn around and it commences into an all out attack! 

In any other work environment, this would classify as sexual harassment and would be grounds for immediate termination as well as a possible lawsuit. But at home, under your own roof, it simply counts as affection.

Parenting Problem #1 - My Spouse Sexually Harasses me!

Real Mom Confession - Yoga Pants Take 2!

I mentioned in a previous post that I had a long overdue play date with a wonderful mom and her sweet daughter. The girls had fun. Us moms talked and caught up on each others lives. We may have even gossiped a little!

What I didn't mention is that I showed up to this play date in yoga pants. I don't think that needed mentioning, since it is my daily wardrobe, but I want to point it out now because of a comment this wonderful mom made that day. For the sake of this post, let's call her JS.

About halfway into our play date, JS asked when I was going to post again since it had clearly been a while and I "can't get everyone addicted and then not post for a while." Ok, point taken. zI'll get right on it!

Then she made another comment about an e-card that she saw that totally reminded her of me. I'm pretty sure it was this one:

Real Mom Confession - Time

Sorry I haven't posted anything for a week or so. I haven't been extra busy or anything. I just haven't been able to find time to sit down at the computer without my daughter climbing on my lap with her toys and pounding all over the keyboard. 

Just a little Tuesday afternoon reminder

Does anyone else have little ones who always know when you need to get something done, and do everything they can to get attention? 

I did find time today to have a long overdue play date with an awesome woman and her beautiful daughter. Yes, my blog had to wait a bit. But that's okay because the most important things in life are the things that make our children smile. And I saw a lot of smiles today. 

Can't wait for the next play date. Who's in?!

Real Mom Confession - Workouts!

After a long but productive month, I'm finally ready to publicly announce... Are you ready for it?....

I have started working out again, after more than 5 years of complacency and pain.

 I have a million reasons why... none that you care about, I'm sure. (And besides, they are probably totally different then the reasons why any one of you works out, or doesn't workout.) But this is a major milestone for me and I want to share a bit of my journey (and reasons) with you guys. 

Real Mom Confession - Periods

Let's talk about periods. Not punctuation, that's a subject for another day. I'm talking about the monthly visit from Mother Nature. Those 5 pesky days where sneezing could ruin your day (and your favorite pair of panties). The time of the month that you are relieved to see and angry that it is has come yet again.

If you don't want to know or hear about periods, leave now. I will not be offended. Seriously, just close the page and come by for a few laughs on another day.

I HATE periods. I LOATHE periods. I cringe when my body starts to alert me of the unavoidable. It is seriously the worst week ever. My body changes. My mood changes. My face looks like a teenager going through puberty. Fortunately for me, instead of going through all these awful changes once a month, I arranged to instead receive the following text. Mother Nature was very understanding and accommodating in this request.

The scent of Fall

It's no secret. Fall is my favorite season. Maybe it's the return of football. It could be the sweater and tea weather. Or, more likely, it could be the return of pumpkin everything! 

Yes, that's most likely. I love pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin purée and just about anything that even remotely smells like pumpkin. I'm going to make pumpkin donuts next week and probably gain a few extra pounds. Oh, I'm not fooling anyone... I'm going to gain a lot of extra pounds and bake a ton of deliciously wonderful pumpkin treats!

I know I'm not alone on this. Who else indulges this season!? Come on, let's hear it! 

I'm on my way to get a pumpkin spice latte, anyone care to join me?
