In the past two weeks, I’ve lost two credit cards. Prior to this, I’d never lost a credit card. Ever. I had one stolen once, but I’m not going to count that because… well… just because. I know exactly what happened in both cases. Kind of. I paid for items and then, in an effort [...]

My Kid Crapped On The Carpet
Posted by grumpymomma in Embarrassing, Family. 3 Comments
I considered giving this post a subtler title but really, what’s the point? Tonight my kids were doing their usual pre-bath routine of running around naked while I was running the water to get it warm. Ginger gets in the bath and I call for Fred. He toddles toward me, pointing at a toy on the [...]

Nakedness Is Fun
Posted by grumpymomma in Embarrassing, Family. Tagged: bath, England, Ireland. Leave a Comment
About 6 years ago, before we were married, GrumpyDaddy and I traveled to Ireland to visit some of his family. One of his cousins came over from England with her children to meet up with us during our visit. One of her sons was about 3 and tended to rip his clothing off at all [...]

Losing My Mind, One Cell At A Time
Posted by grumpymomma in About Me, Embarrassing. 1 Comment
I’m fond of telling people that having children caused me brain damage. And when I say “fond,” I mean that I’m forced to confess this to people after humiliating moments of raging stupidity brought about by having birthed said children. To wit, recently I was at the park with the kids, talking to another mom. [...]

You Know You’re A Parent When…
Posted by grumpymomma in Embarrassing, Family. Tagged: Cheerios, water. 1 Comment
This morning I was drinking a large glass of water. Ginger decided she wanted some and started taking sips in between shoving handfuls of Cheerios into her mouth. When I attempted to reclaim my glass of water, I noticed a fair amount of Cheerios crumbles in the bottom of the cup. Ginger’s backwash. I drank [...]

My Refrigerator Is A Threat To Public Health

As I’ve posted on here many times before, I am completely inept in the kitchen. A couple examples here and here. One of my many kitchen malfunctions is to buy food and forget that I have it. GrumpyDaddy occasionally audits the refrigerator, tossing out old food and wagging his finger at me for being wasteful [...]

A Thursday Confession
Posted by grumpymomma in Embarrassing. Leave a Comment
My confession for the day: occasionally… OK, oftentimes, when I’m cleaning up my kids’ snacks off the floor, I just eat them. And sometimes, they aren’t, shall we say, *freshly* dropped snacks. In fact, I end up eating some darn stale Cheerios and Goldfish crackers at times. But the truth of the matter is that [...]

Ginger Rats Me Out
Posted by grumpymomma in About Me, Embarrassing. Tagged: computer. Leave a Comment
I am still without a computer, which has become more than a mere nuisance. Frankly, I’m borderline homicidal at this point. The good news is that GrumpyDaddy, our resident computer expert and all-around tech-savvy guy, has found what he thinks will be an appropriate computer for my needs, which basically consist of internet silliness and [...]

The Devil Got My Eggs
Posted by grumpymomma in Embarrassing. Tagged: deviled eggs, kitchen, refrigerator. 2 Comments
So not only am I a complete failure in the food prep category, apparently I do no better in the food storage department. Last night I decided to make deviled eggs. To appreciate the significance of this, please understand that I tend to limit myself to dishes that require no more than three ingredients and [...]

We’re Not Really Cookin’ Here
Posted by grumpymomma in Embarrassing. Leave a Comment
Last night I made dinner and when I set the finished product down in front of GrumpyDaddy, he took one look and said, “What happened here?” Apparently my cooking skills continue to leave something – OK, a LOT of things – to be desired.
