What are those!?

What are those?
Those are the bags under my eyes because my mini me woke up at 3am today.  FOR THE DAY.


Here I am... writing my post...looking so put
together... looking so well rested... looking
so much like a super mom!  Check out Colin
watching Pooh....   Happy Friday!
My regular Friday order of Sushi should
be here any minute!  # REALLIFE
What are those??
Those are the same pants I wore yesterday... because there aren't enough hours in the week to do the amount of laundry I have...  I was just hoping you wouldn't notice (or would be polite enough not to say anything).


What are those???
Those are my split ends!  No I didn't get my hair cut.. in fact, I have only had my hair cut only twice since I became pregnant with Colin... TWO YEARS AGO. 


What are THOSE????
Those are my new workout clothes....  oh and I didn't find out until AFTER I was doing a full on lunge and squat-fest at the gym that they are 100000% see through.    Wonder how many peoples snapchat stories my huge ass is on..... 


WHAT ARE THOSE?????
Those are all real things that happened or were said to me this week.  This is the glamorous life my friends.  GLAM-OR-OUS. 




Colleen, Megan, My Mom, Kristina, and basically EVERYONE else I know that's a teacher, started vacation today.... I have seven more days.... 5 of which require me to shower, and put on real people clothes.  I'm not bitter...  not at all.....  (hate you all/love you all)


Not one to dwell on the negative though...
 Here are some fabulous things that occurred this week that gave ME joy!
1)  I got not one but TWO Kylie LipKits   because I'm a basic bitch and I need an intervention.
2)  I got out of the house Tuesday (for an HOUR) to see my cousin Cammie's art work be displayed at the New Britain Museum of Art! She's the best!!!!!!!!!!  (and I managed to sneak up to the Salvador Dali exhibit (lots of Alice in Wonderland sketches!!!!) 
3)  I had a personal day Wednesday.  
4)  Real Housewives of New York  is backkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk.  I needed my Countess and my Bethenny.
5)  I caught up on GIRLS and on SCANDAL.  OMG OMG OMG  
     (Lena Dunham's full frontal and her response to it.... I just can't... also... many people have 
told me that I remind them of Hanna Horvath....  hopefully not in THAT scene! haha also hopefully that's a compliment because she can be awful!)


Hope everyone that is on vacation next week LOVES every second.
Hope everyone who isn't on vacation next week LOVES every second as well. 



Happy Friday to my very favorites!

Mom...The Potty Flipped Over

Just when you think you've got it all together.... Your son comes to tell you that there is poop on the floor.  So even though he's been potty trained for a nearly a year and ASKS for privacy when he goes, there are still mishaps.  Like, well this: He was such an easy kid to potty train...a few skittles here, a few there and BAM, bye bye diapers.  Yet, he has his quirks.  For instance, I am not sure why his own private potty ended up getting flipped over, but I do know that he was in there building a fortress with toilet paper.  It's what he does - I don't know, I tend to think it's creative and not destructive. I think my mistake was loading up the shelf with fresh new rolls (I did that at 7am).  It was all just too exciting for him. And so even though this was the first day in history that both children slept until 8am allowing me to deep clean the bathroom (again at 7am) I was right back at it at 11am. Please remind me of this as I have a ...

A few years ago I heard the phrase "self-care".  In fact, it was a doctor who looked me square in the face and asked me "what do you do for self-care?" I had (no joke) NEVER heard this phrase before.  NEVER.  It must have shown on my face, but she didn't even flinch and went on to ask what I did for myself.  Like without guilt to take care of myself.  I thought for a minute and listed off things like sleeping in once a week, morning showers, taking the long way home from work while listening to murder podcasts (the usual??) These apparently are not things that count as self-care.  (I mean I guess they are a little bit, but she wanted to examples of what I was doing to better my self-worth and happiness).  Even now that school started, I can't think of much -- actually,  sometimes I leave work early and eat my yogurt in my car and listen to my murder podcast for an extra 15 minutes. I find that recently there has even been a push for self-c...

Guest Post - They Won't Get It, They'll Think I'm an Awful Mom

Guest Post:  Alicia is a friend from high school who is a full-time working mom of one adorable boy, Cooper.  She's also building a make-up empire and blowing up Facebook with wildly entertaining videos and tutorials.  She makes everything look easy, which is why this blog is just that much more important.  Thanks for sharing Alicia. I was asked to write something MONTHS ago, and I promise, the commitment to put my thoughts on paper has never left my mind.  I’m embarrassed it took me this long.  But to be honest, I couldn’t get myself to write down my story, because if I did, it would somehow make my failures more real.  (Sure, I know we’re always the hardest on ourselves, and I know I’m not a failure, but the thoughts, “could I have done better…can I DO better?” constantly run through my mind.) Let me step back for a second.  It took my husband and I well over a year to get pregnant with Cooper.  Two heartbreaking miscarriages, lo...
