Dear Moms

Random Thoughts I Have During the Day as a Mom +ScaryMommyTV   via Instagram Retrieved: May 21, 2016 Dear Moms, Some days are amazing as a mommy. Some days are stressful and some days are downright scary! But, have you ever had any thoughts about your children that are just downright inappropriate? Lol I personally have, and I figured I'd share some of them as they pertain to a particularly "meh," Mom day and the "Mommyisms" I HAVE to say in real life instead!  ***BE ADVISED THERE ARE SOME SWEARS*** 6:30 am: (Alarm goes off) Ugh, ok let's get moving . "Ugh, okay let's get moving." 7:00 am: (waking kids) Omg,why doesn't THIS one feel good today?! "Let me see if you have a fever, if not you're going to school." 7:22 am: Why the hell are they arguing over the damn TOILET?! "Yes, I know there is only one potty- but we have to share, okay?" 7:45 am: Fifteen fucking minutes before we hav...

What's Up? What's Happening? Dear Moms,  Well, school is down to the last two weeks for us... Time to get the bubbles, bats and balls, and water balloons on deck in my house! Well, maybe not the water balloons yet- it's still only an average of like 55 degrees daily right now! LOL Moms in NW Indiana sit at BASEBALL games like this! I just had my 34th birthday two days ago, and I am ready to set this new year of my life on FIRE!This birthday was an eye opener on all the things I had let fall to the wayside in my life. ME! Being a mom can be rewarding, fulfilling, and even fun! But, let's face it: being a mom can also be draining. Financially, emotionally, and spiritually. Sometimes it is easy to lose sight of who WE are, and were as we fill our days with lunch packing, carpools and homework. Look Familiar to you? We as moms have to find out who we are, and who we want to be, because at some point, the kids will be adults and on their own...

HELP, I AM BREATHING TOO MUCH!! A Mom to Mom Rant Dear Moms, I am at my breaking point and allergy season just got started for me!! Here's the thing, earlier this week I was congested beyond my wildest dreams! I felt like my head weighed a solid ton- only it was accompanied by a feeling that my head was made of lumpy, wet cement! I ran to the store and grabbed Zyrtec, and some basic sinus decongestant. The Zyrtec did NADA on day one- but the off brand decongestant was spot ON! Made me a bit drowsy... I was okay with the naps though, I'm a mom. That means I'm CRAZY- not STUPID! lol Now, the middle of the week offered a bit of a reprieve and I was able to be a bit more physically active. My head no longer felt like it was made of newly poured sidewalk! Today, Friday the 13th- WITH a full moon tonight; I can't stop breathing! Okay, wait...lol that came out wrong. I am getting so MUCH air, I can't stand it! My face internally actually FEELS cold, because so muc...

Thoughts From Where I am TODAY! www.thechaosandtheclutter.com , Retrieved: May 11, 2016 Dear Moms,  Hey, today is May 11, 2016. I have had a lot of stuff going on in my life and I have been feeling like I have had to express how I a GOOD mom, vs a BAD mom... Now, we ALL know we have our own versions of the BAD mom... the one that has a cigarette hanging out of her mouth, while holding her overweight toddler in the air by ONE arm, cussing up a blue streak because the kid did something kids DO: like spilled juice on himself- comes to my mind immediately. Mind you, this is in a public park, and she is completely giving me the, "Let me get my damn kids out of here" vibe...LOL I digress. Anywho- what I mean is why do we have to define what IS or ISN'T proper parenting. I mean abuse in any form is frowned upon- but there are days where I will just swear like a sailor on leave for every little thing that is going on in my home... is that abusive? I MAY tell a kid in...

Oops! We had some technical issues on Mother's Day! Buuuut.... HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!! Dear Moms,  Allow me to tell you all from the bottom of my heart: Happy Mother's Day! Today is the day to honor all the hard work YOU do each and every day. A brief moment of reflection to appreciate the time, struggle and sacrifice that comes with motherhood. Here is your celebration from ME: Above you will find all of the things us MOMS want at least a few times a year to avoid going completely bat shit crazy on our families: Time to yourself! Wine , lots of WINE! Diamonds , because you deserve them! Flowers , cuz all moms like flowers! A private potty session- just. For. You. Omg, I know, you love them!! You're very welcome! By next year I would like to be able to have a Mother's Day giveaway for my moms that really come through and read, like, comment and share my blogs! *hint, hint* lol Okay, all b.s. aside...what in the world do YOU do on Moth...

Getting "Cooking" With the Littles Dear Moms,  Mother's Day is approaching and with that- we all know the familiar and often cliche doings of kids destroying the kitchen to prepare a "FEAST." Sometimes their knowledge is soggy Cap'n Crunch and burnt toast- but there are those adventurous souls that endeavor to use the stove! LOL Bless their hearts, and YIKES! I was once a phobic mommy that did NOT want anyone to go near the stove. Then, I gave my oldest a chance with pancakes. Seeing as that is my business, I knew she could add water to the mix and if I stood guard I could advise as needed...and, she DID it!! I was beyond proud, and super relieved- but, I had sparked something in her. Now, she desired to Guy Fieri EVERYTHING! She had monster sandwich ideas, recipes for marinades and she was ALWAYS watching the Cooking Channel and Food Network ! Needless to say, I had to get over that fear very quickly because she was motivated and passionate. Now,...

GUESS WHAT TIME IT IS??!! Dear Moms,  It's May!! It's Taurus season!! It's almost Mother's Day!! It's almost My BIRTHDAY!! lol okay, I think I got all my exclamations out... Oh, it's almost SUMMERTIME!! That means... (DUN, DUN, DUUUUN..) SUMMER VACATION!! (insert cool echo effect here) lol  So, what does that mean to YOU?! In my mind, it means sun, and tropical drinks, a hammock- maybe a cabana boy or three...but in reality:  In my house, it usually means hot sweaty kids, running in and out of the house, letting all the "cool" out; arguing over the last green Popsicle, water balloon fights, trips to the beach, the park, the splash pad etc, etc. This year, they have reservations at a local YMCA summer camp! Yay me! Now, let's not go crazy- I'm still a nutty, over protective mother- they are only going for a week but, it IS sleep-away soooo.... I have NO idea how ANY of us are going to take it! I have always thought camps are a gr...
