Let me preface this with saying my five-year-old daughter adores my husband, and he does her. She and her Dad have already developed a great and humorous dynamic between the two of them. Case in point, this series of post-it messages she left us this past week, in the order ...

How you know your lazy gene lives on, even in your always helpful kindergartener:
My 5-year-old daughter, after a noodle dropped to the floor from the pasta we were making:
"Leave it. That can be for the mouse."
I looked at her, puzzled.
"Um, what mouse?" I asked.
"Well, I KNOW we don't have a ...

Random thoughts to hopefully lighten the mood here:
Did anyone catch American Idol's first two shows of the season? Pants on the floor! Pants on the floor! Lookin' like a fool with your pants on the floor! I can't get this out of my head. Someone help me!
And, speaking of Idol, ...

It was not our first standoff, and I don't think it will be our last. My little red-headed darling with the mind of her own and a fiercely huge stubborn streak given to her by both her father and me. We asked for it really.
But, I have grown so tired ...

It’s time for a little good old fashioned, bah-humbuggy venting here at Cattywampus Life. 'Tis the season for family stress, and so I’ll channel my inner Andy Rooney and get all grumpy with you for a second with the goal of ridding the world of some of my biggest pet ...

If you've been with me long here at Cattywampus, you know I have already admitted an embarassing thing.
I've been sucked into the Twilight thing somewhat. If you followed that link, you will learn of my hidden shame. That, I am not on Team Edward, but Team Jake. Which when you ...

It has happened to me more than once in my life.
I found myself the victim of a snap-judgement based on my Southern accent. Call it Twang-scrimination.
After giving a welcome and sharing some personal information about myself with a few women for an event recently, a younger woman who was from ...

Bulleted lists, be damned! I have more important things to share today!
First off, you should know that when my body is forced to exert itself, I sweat profusely. Not girly sweat either. Man sweat. Well, OK, not as stinky as man sweat, but I've got some kind of gift. Trainers ...

Every few months, I find myself there. Begrudgingly taking myself, when I can take it no more.

This is SOOOO not another "mommy blog." Ok, well maybe it is. But, what else would you expect from a career writer, who has lived the life of a SAHM and now is juggling her way back into part-time work again while raising two wild kids with her wise-cracking husband and a large stinky labrador retriever? In short, I'm a walking cliche--a suburban mommy blogger just trying to keep my crazy yet wonderful life in balance and learning to look at the world through funny glasses with my tongue sticking out. Pfffftttt!
