• Can Mom Really Only Buy A Loaf Of Bread, A Container Of Milk An

  by Sharon Ruggieri April 30
  I have seriously never gone to the store with the intent of buying just one loaf of bread, one gallon of milk and one stick butter. Why? Because that would completely defeat the purpose of going..."shopping." Besides, my bread is usually on sale two for $2.25, I normally get my milk for $1.99/gallo...

• Raising A Teenager Is Like Washing My Hair In The Toilet…

  by Sharon Ruggieri April 30
  It's a waste of time, it's a messy chore and it never works out the way I hoped. Truthfully, I can't even recall when I finally realized there were teenagers in my house. Was it when Tom told me that I had no idea who he really was on the inside? Could it have been when son number two was so hungry ...

• Having Trouble Following Through…Try This!

  by Sharon Ruggieri April 12
  I also can't open my eyes for longer than 20 minutes before I have to close them. What fresh hail is this? I can't even breathe properly.   Oh, don't get excited. I have tension headaches, allergies and too much stress. And it only cost me $50 to find all that out.   So, in an attempt ...

• Praying The Rosary For A Gay Man I Never Met On My Birthday...

  by Sharon Ruggieri March 27
  Why would I put such a title on my blog? What am I thinking? Am I trying to stir the pot? Am I being provocative? Am I looking for attention? Why am I praying for him on my birthday? I'm thinking of Alan. There's no pot to stir when it comes to Alan and I couldn't give a rat's behind if I get attent...

• This One Time, My Kids Made Their Own Band Camp...

  by Sharon Ruggieri March 22
  And why did they do this? I still have no idea. It's not as if any of them were born with the pipes to sing, "The Hills Are Alive" and actually sound good at it. Sadly they were all born having inherited my ability to sing nothing better than the ABC's. So...was this band idea set up to torture me f...

• How I Found Out I Gave Birth To Brain Dead Children...

  by Sharon Ruggieri March 6
  First, they began to use their mouths to make sounds which eventually turned into words. Then they were able to pull themselves to a standing position, and finally they began to think for themselves. It's been down hill ever since... But for now I'm just going to concentrate on yesterday and start w...

• Facebook...the source of all evil :)

  by Sharon Ruggieri January 23
  At least that's the impression I got when I read articles from the "experts on the subject."Instead of wasting my precious internet time getting my news from another source than Scifake.com, I sould have just paid my therapist $40/hour to tell me I was headed towards becoming a narcissistic SAHM.(I ...

• Now...why would I sing for a remote control?

  by Sharon Ruggieri January 20
  Well, truthfully I'm not watching much T.V. anymore since the kiddie management took over my house. Sure...it's still on and I occasionally have the remote control in my hand, but nine times out of 10 I'm switching from the Disney channel to nickelodeon.That or I'm stuck watching Top Gear because Mr...

• Unless It's Broken, Leaks Or On Fire...It Ain't New Years

  by Sharon Ruggieri January 7
  It never fails. Every...single...New Years Eve something has to break before I'm allowed to welcome in the year. Why? I think I'm being punished for calling to the Watchtower of the North before my conversion to statue worshiping and cannibalism. And now, as each New Year approaches, without fail, a...

• Mommy Wasn't Kissing Anybody...Got It?

  by Sharon Ruggieri December 17, 2012
  Yes, it's true...I've strayed. I sat on the fat man’s lap and let him have his way with me. After all, it isn’t everyday a man with the power let’s me sit on his lap and asks, “What do you want for Christmas little girl?” I only had my best interest at heart. And in ord...

• Gimme It Mommy! Remember You Said Sharing Is Caring...

  by Sharon Ruggieri December 13, 2012
  Giving birth to multiple children who ages are spread out over 17 years has not only taught me an amazing amount of patience, but a tremendous amount of regret. Along with a tolerance for the unbelievable, selective hearing and a desire to time travel and "accidentally" forget to teach the Madhouse ...

• Guess What Mommy? Teacher Wants To Know...

  by Sharon Ruggieri November 19, 2012
  "What you're thankful for. I'm a-supposed to ax you why you say thanks and if it's really good I get to go to the treasure box. Neat, huh?" And with that my daughter tore off her back pack and ran into her brothers closet to steal his re-furbished iPad. I grabbed an ice pack out of the refrigerator...

  by Sharon Ruggieri November 13, 2012
  Ever have to call the nurse in your family and ask what it means when your kid eats toilet paper, only to be told that your child has "weird kid"syndrome?*Sigh*Yes, it's true. My five year old child...my youngest...my only daughter...my pride and joy...is weird. As in not "normal."Like her mom. ...

  by Sharon Ruggieri October 16, 2012
  "Just as your mother had duh-uh-un, when my mind joined the Twilight Zone."  <- (Hum "If You Could Read My Mind. The title & first sentence will make more sense..)Gordon Lightfoot and his sultry song of sadness not only prevented me from committing Hara Kiri on my kids cheap, giant, stuf...

• Mine Eyes Have Seen The Devils In The Flesh Around My House...

  by Sharon Ruggieri September 17, 2012
  "And they live among the broken toys and sit upon my couch. Some call me mom, some have four legs and make me say "Hey, Ouch!" The Devil marches on!" Oh yeah, they march on all right. Down my hall, onto my bed, into the bathtub, through the kitchen sink, on top of the washer and dryer, and into the ...

• And Remember...You're Supposed To Say Cheese, Not Cut It...

  by Sharon Ruggieri August 22, 2012
  "But mom!" My 7 and 5 year old's complained as Shawn pulled his finger out of his ear to examine it's contents and my daughter put my lipstick all over her cheeks. "Last time that peanut butter toast was just too peanut-y gassy good."Peanut-y gassy? Is that a real word? I'm gonna need to google that...

• Which One Of You Packed My Nasal Spray?

  by Sharon Ruggieri July 18, 2012
  It's strange how I wake up every now and then only to discover that things have changed over night.Sometimes it's as simple as discovering my daughter laying on my feet as she eats her breakfast, and other times I swear I woke up in the Walternate universe as the redheaded Olivia Dunham.Like that on...

• If It Wasn't For Bad Luck, I'd Have Stayed In Bed

  by Sharon Ruggieri July 16, 2012
  Don't you hate it when you open eyes at 6am to find that there's a bee sitting on your arm that's laying right next to your head?Or even worse, once the bee finally gets tired of doing a little dance your arm and flies away you roll out of bed and heave a big sigh just as you step on wet dog food yo...

• Is That Mom's Face On A Wanted Poster?

  by Sharon Ruggieri July 11, 2012
  Or are my kids just happy not to see me?It isn't everyday that I get to walk into the house after being in the sun for 3 hours with a hyper 5 year old to find that 5 of my 6 my children have been engaging in an art contest over which one of their "wanted" posters will be my new facebook profile pict...
