A friend of mine recently snapped this pic at a concert. Yep, some lucky lady gets to cuddle up with him at night. What would be even better? A tattoo tribute to Color Me Badd! (So badass they needed two D’s)

I just got a speeding ticket.  I was on my way to drop the kids at grandma’s house while I bring the car to the shop.  Yes, my new minivan is already having issues.  At speeds of 60 miles per hour or more the wheel shakes like Charlie Sheen when he isn’t “winning.”   The mechanic at the dealer looked at me like I had three heads when I described the problem.   “You just bought the car.”  Yes, Sike!   I am making it up.  I would love nothing more than to waste an afternoon at your auto body shop reading magazines from 1999 and drinking coffee that tastes like it…

We took the family to the drive-in theater last night. I know, it sounds magical doesn’t it? It was for the first hour and a half. We played on the swing set below the giant screen. Then, the family packed into the back of our van and devoured mounds of junk food. We ate French fries, nachos, popcorn and candy. (I will be the one sporting the polyester elastic pants today.) I’m sure a good mother would bring fruit and granola bars. I am not one of them. Anyway, about an hour into the movie my son got bored and decided he wanted to leave. We snuggled up and I…

I may actually try to make my first batch of homemade chocolate chip cookies.  (I think)</span>  <img title=”cookies” src=”http://media-cache0.pinterest.com/upload/16607092346012655_qevp5TyI_f.jpg” alt=”” width=”375″ height=”500″ />  <a href=”http://tendercrumb.blogspot.com/2008/09/my-favorite-chocolate-chip-cookie.html”>www.pinterest.com</a>

My son is finally starting to feel better. The past 24 hours has been hell for everyone. He had his tonsils removed, adenoids out and tubes inserted in his ears. It was buy one get one free. So, I figured what the hell! Of course that is not true. That deal only applies to food you will never be able to consume before it rots. I thought he would be sore after the surgery, but figured his pain would subside with ice cream. Ice cream always made me feel better after high school dances. Now, I don’t need it. Knowing the guys that didn’t want to dance with me are…

Today I am going from being the “meanest mom I ever saw” to the “cruelest mom in the world.” (I wonder if there is a coffee mug for that?) I scheduled my 5-year-old son’s surgery over summer break. He actually just went in to the operating room. He is having what is considered a “routine” procedure to remove tonsils, adenoids and insert tubes in his ears. That doesn’t make it any easier, but it has to be done. There isn’t a nasal strip in the world that can stop his snoring. By morning his breath smells like a porta potty at a Neil Diamond concert. Still, there isn’t a worse…
