She Said: “It’s GOTTA BE 5 O’Clock Somewhere…”
Thank GOODNESS my BFFs here in Raleigh got the memo sometime in their adult/mommy life that I would need my thirties to still resemble my college and sorority life (pathetic, maybe... but makes for a stellar life, nonetheless). I have as many (if not more) "5 o'clock" excuses as a working Mommy as I did in college. And not only excuses, but follow-throughs. Further, I have as many like-minded participant friends as I did when I lived in my Sorority house (where there are ALWAYS chicks willing to drop everything to let loose). Life is good in my neighborhood. Okay, so ...
“It’s GOTTA BE 5 O’Clock Somewhere…”
It's gotta be five o'clock somewhere. Yes it's five o'clock somewhere. And in our circle of friends, that "somewhere" is the house of whichever mom is hosting the "play date du jour!" Imagine coming home after a long day of work, only to see your wife and a few other moms, barely speaking English, scouring the earth for more champagne while the food is burning, the dog is barking, the smoke alarm is going off, and the kids are running naked. OK I confess - none of these have happened all at once (at least not while I was there) but ...
“Don’t Cry Over Spilt Milk!”
Okay, this just drives me absolutely BANANAS. Why do my 3 youngest children FREAK out when they spill milk? Wouldn't you think they just cut their jugular when they simply mess up a word on their XMas list to Santa? Have they ever heard of an eraser? Or, a cross out? White out? Or -- hey, here's an idea -- what about calmly starting over? I recently typed in the simple search term in Google: "children's emotions", thinking maybe it would offer some advice about calm phrases to say to them, instead of (me, subsequently) flipping out BACK at them. Ironically -- ...
He Said: “Keep Your Hands to Yourself!”
Last year we fortunately had our application approved for a downtown Raleigh magnet school. It's a great opportunity for our children to attend a leadership-based elementary school. Our daughter started kindergarten last year, and the drive downtown was great - some special daddy/daughter time each morning, and mom picked up in the afternoon. We were a well-oiled machine... This year is a little different on many levels. Our daughter is now in first grade, and our son is in kindergarten. Also, close friends of our successfully applied this year, and their son now attends. My nice quiet ride with my daughter ...
If we haven’t met, I’m Kat. A mom-a-holic, career-a-holic, and happy-hour-a-holic. In no particular order. I pumped four little kids out of my womb in a five year time span. Yes, I know how babies are made. No, none of them were accidents. I am a Kat who has let wwwwwaaaaaaayyyyyy too much outta her bag on Today’s Cliche. But, definitely... [Read more of this review]
So, my lovable friends at Mommyologist and LifeWithoutPink are hosting a contest that I seriously think I have a pretty stellar shot at. And, my ego should not inflate, but rather deflate, by this fact. It’s: Why I’m SOOO not mom of the year. Top 10, Letterman style. 10. My throat was bleeding from screaming (literally AND figuratively!)... [Read more of this review]
So, I tortured myself Thurs. night. While poor hubs was tortured by “having to go” out to dinner with someone he loves from work… followed by bar hopping “for work” working, I CHOSE to take the 4 kids to Sports Clips to get their haircuts… at 6:45 pm. Nope, they hadn’t eaten dinner yet (WHAT was I thinking?).... [Read more of this review]
I was VERY tempted to find a nasty picture of Joe Theismann, Tim Krumrie, Moises Alou or Jason Kendall, but thought better of it. For those of you who are sports nuts, I know for certain your stomach did flips over each of those references. Actual photos may have caused worse! Today, my favorite Oprah-wannabe heads to Atlanta for tryouts for a spot... [Read more of this review]
