Writing checks I can’t cash

Every time I write something even mildly scandalous on my site, Sarah leaves me a comment about how upset my mother is going to be when she reads it. This always freaks me out, because my mom doesn’t read my site, but it makes me wonder if maybe Sarah knows something I don’t know. Here’s [...]

Now BRITAIN’S Got Talent

Hey guys, Karen here from Vodkarella (formerly Troll Baby)! The other night, my husband, 8 year old son and I watched America’s Got Talent. The entire show was a let down. That Piers guy is annoying and seriously, America Did Not Have Talent. The show seemed to thrive around putting down obnoxious little kids and [...]

It Going to Be a Good Weekend (plus new searches)

This weekend we will be going to an undisclosed location in Florida to get really really drunk hang out with some of my friends from college. The good news is we aren’t taking the kids. The bad news is that I will not have any internet connection. The other good news (shut up, it is [...]

Ian and Claudia: Guitar Heroes

Yes, my children know the difference between a Flying V and a SG.Last time Beth and Mia came over to play I’m pretty sure Ian gave Beth the devil horns. (Well, either that or he was trying to ward off the evil eye).The Guitar Hero thing is becoming a family obsession.

Apology Not Accepted

Ian and Claudia are supposed to be taking a nap. Ian just walked into the office and before I could say anything he said “I apologize”. Then he grinned at me. I said “Get back into bed.” He said “I said, I apologize”. He thinks he is pretty clever. While I completely appreciate the fact [...]

Randomness Part 78

- I can’t think right now. I’m still upset about the how “The Sopranos” ended last night. I feel like they tricked me into watching the last season. I really wanted Tony to die and Meadow to take over, but alas. Nothing happened. Well, not nothing, but there was certainly no end. And yes, I [...]

Deep Down Inside I am a 12 Year Old Boy

When I was at the grocery store yesterday I took this picture on my cell phone. Then I immediately sent the picture to my husband. I almost bought it because it really cracked me up, but then I figured it would just taste like regular old chicken broth. But come on! Cock flavored soup mix? [...]

How Tired Do You Have to Be?

When I woke up this morning I found this in my bed. Well, yes both of these things. But I’m not talking about Claudia. I find her in my bed fairly frequently. That part was no surprise. It’s not a roach. Do you know that it is? I slept on this earring. I slept soundly [...]

A SATGS PSA Regarding Leftovers

You know how sometimes you get Chinese food and they give you a ton of white rice so you end up putting all of your leftovers in the downstairs refrigerator because there are just too many containers to fit in your regular fridge because it is kind of small. (Just play along with me here, [...]

A Charming Moment with My Little Boy

Ian was asking me for a snack. I said: I will give you two bug cookies in exchange for a big hug. (Bug cookies are graham crackers that come in the shapes of caterpillars and butterflies and dragonflies etc.) Ian reached his arms out to me. I was feeling one of those I love my [...]

Laundry Mystery

The title may be a little bit misleading. I mean – this is in fact a mystery dealing with laundry, but it has nothing to do with missing socks or the face of Jesus Christ  appearing on one of my sheets or anything like that. Here is the thing – my mom was here last [...]

Those Kids Can Spot an Old McDonalds* a Mile Away

When did my children become so observant? Today when The Goon Squad was at preschool I was out running errands. I had a ton of boring stuff to do. I got an oil change, I picked up my new contact lenses and did a bunch of other little things. I was thirsty so I ran [...]
