Is It Ever OK for Mom to Lie?

April 10, 2013 By Vicky 35 Comments

Is It Ever OK for Mom to Lie?

At times I am 100% confident that I am as smart as I ever was. My Master’s Degree-earning brain is as sharp. My problem solving skills lightning-quick. My ability to multitask Olympic gold medal worthy. And then there are the other times… Those that remind me my brain is dying a slow and painful death. I […]

Confession #1: I may or may not have intentionally sabotaged my son’s chances of advancing in the school Speech Meet…

We value education in this house.  No really, we do.  I’m fully aware of the amount of sarcasm in use on this blog, I’m being completely serious right now.  There is no such thing as “It’s a rough draft so spelling doesn’t count” in this house.  And the classic, “It’s neat enough, I’ll rewrite it […]

Spike is an as#@!*e

*I have to forewarn you (and by “you” I mean my mom). There is excessive and repetitive use of a bad word in this post.  Personally, I feel it is warranted and I am hopeful you will too by the end* For those of you who follow me on Facebook, tonight’s post will come as […]

Why I’d like to be one of my kids for a day…

Why I’d like to be one of my kids for a day…

It seems many of you related to my last post 10 Reasons Why I’d Like to be a Dad for a day. You have no idea how happy that makes me.  As someone who spend a good portion of the time asking, “Is it just me?” it’s reassuring to know others are as insane as I […]

10 Reasons I’d like to be a Dad For a Day

10 Reasons I’d like to be a Dad For a Day

Last week I was reading one of my favorite blogs- Cloudy, With a Chance of Wine when she posted this fantastic gem “10 Things I’d do if I could be a man for a day“. If you haven’t read her stuff, get on over there- NOW.  She is the epitome of how a blogger gets it […]

I think people have to read self-help books in order to be my friend.

I think people have to read self-help books in order to be my friend.

Have you ever felt like God was trying to tell you something? I’m not talking about the audible James Earl Jones “Luke, I am your fa-ther” kind of voice.  (Although I thought that happened to me once in a movie theater but it just ended up being The Hubs trying to be funny- but that’s […]

If I had to sum up my weekend in 4 bullet points it would go a little something like this…

If I had to sum up my weekend in 4 bullet points it would go a little something like this…

1. I slept with my therapist.  Sharing a hotel room for a night with your past therapist and 2 other women who have also seen said therapist at various times over the years begs the question, “Is this a sleep over or group therapy?” Yay! I love slumber parties! Let’s talk about boys and our […]

Not a post… Just a bit of shameless plugging.

Not a post… Just a bit of shameless plugging.

So this is not a blog post.  I’ll bet you’re relieved to hear that after trying to recover from the hilarity that was my last post, right? This is simply a moment of shameless self-promotion. You were all ridiculously supportive when I was the Featured Writer over at Studio30Plus back in January.  Some of you went […]

All The Cool Moms Are Doing It: An After School Special for Moms

I’m pretty sure I have no cinematic mojo whatsoever.  As I watched bits and pieces of the Oscars this year I had absolutely no interest in any of the movies.  In fact, I hadn’t even heard of quite a few of them.-“Les Miserables” – OK, I know what that one is about but I’ve never […]
