Bad Mama Moments: May 2014
http://badmamamoments.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Whats Cookin Good Lookin? Thursday, May 29, 2014. Why I never get anything done. So last weekend I decided to clean up a bit before family arrived at my house for a little Memorial Day BBQ. I had no grand aspirations. Those days of sterile surfaces and dedicated grout-only toothbrushes are long gone. I simply wanted to stow away all the flotsam and jetsam that covers every available surface, hose off anything sticky, and empty the trash. The problem with me and cleaning is that. I have two children.

Bad Mama Moments: March 2014
http://badmamamoments.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Whats Cookin Good Lookin? Wednesday, March 26, 2014. Sometimes there is some weird stuff in children's books. Take this little story for example:. A school principal bakes a gingerbread man cookie and takes it to school in his lunch box. The principal has a bowl of candy eyes on his desk. Pencils, pens, gold star stickers . Bowl of candy eyes - the usual school administration stuff. If that's ON the desk, in a CLEAR bowl, what (dear Lord) is IN the drawers? Next up, the Berenstain bears go to the dentist.

Bad Mama Moments: Camping
http://badmamamoments.blogspot.com/2014/08/camping.html
Whats Cookin Good Lookin? Sunday, August 24, 2014. A few weeks ago a dear friend said to me, "Lets go camping! And I enthusiastically agreed. My mind filled with warm memories from my own childhood - s'mores, campfires, and creepy, flashlight illuminated trips to the bathroom in the middle if the night. Thankfully for me, I am married to boy-scout-who-grew-into-engineer so I was able to smile, nod and think about s'mores and lightning bugs while he thought of things like food and shelter. Then came the p...

Bad Mama Moments: Tech detox
http://badmamamoments.blogspot.com/2014/03/tech-detox.html
Whats Cookin Good Lookin? Sunday, March 23, 2014. For Christmas this year beloved Hubs gave me an iPhone. Though it was hard to give up my prior phone - which had a slide out keyboard. I very quickly became addicted to my new little friend. Unfortunately in the depths of this cold and miserable winter, I discovered games. I discovered that I really, really enjoy hidden object games. There's an entertaining little plot, tasks to accomplish, and puzzles to solve. It seems such a harmless thing. But I did h...

Bad Mama Moments: February 2014
http://badmamamoments.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Whats Cookin Good Lookin? Thursday, February 27, 2014. Coffee. The struggle. We've been up since somewhere in the 0500's when the boys joined me in bed. I trumble (trudge stumble) downstairs and head directly to the coffee pot. The youngest child is circling me, crashing and ricocheting off my legs like a moth with a light bulb. I must concentrate fiercely, lest I pour OJ into my coffee or something. Mug. Put Coffee in mug. Can you read this book? Where is Yoda's light saber? Milk Put Milk in, too. Get B...

Bad Mama Moments: "I hate you." A Parenting Milestone
http://badmamamoments.blogspot.com/2014/03/i-hate-you-parenting-milestone.html
Whats Cookin Good Lookin? Monday, March 10, 2014. I hate you." A Parenting Milestone. My youngest son, the Wee One, is four. He is a combination of the stubbornness and poor coordination of age 2 mixed with the impulsiveness of age 3. He has a temper like my retired US Marine Corps father and the manipulative skills of a charming 16 year old girl. The intensity of his rage appears undaunted by the smallness of his stature. In the space of 30 seconds he has been known to say:. Is this still today? If I st...

Bad Mama Moments: Whatcha Reading?
http://badmamamoments.blogspot.com/p/whatcha-reading.html
Whats Cookin Good Lookin? On this here page I'll link to the posts discussing what I'm "reading.". Caveat: My beloved husband says that audiobooks do not "count" as "reading" but I think they do, so audiobooks will be listed here as well. I love book discussions so please post anything and everything in the comments, including suggestions of books for me to check out. I'll read anything! The Gift of an Ordinary Day by Katrina Kenison. The Blue Jay's Dance by Louise Erdrich. The Help by Kathryn Stockett.

Bad Mama Moments: June 2014
http://badmamamoments.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Whats Cookin Good Lookin? Sunday, June 8, 2014. Things I learned at Hampton Beach today:. My self esteem is directly proportional to the bodies of the other women in my field of view. I can go from emotional devastation to euphorically average with a single head swivel. Fringe on bathing suits is apparently a thing now. To me this seems unpleasantly. Drippy. Pregnant women are the most beautiful women on the beach. No cover ups required - you glorious goddesses you. There are a lot. Of tattoos out there.
