Do I Have To Leave Already?

by Shannon on 16. Oct, 2009 in Family Fiascos, Wild Mom

After years of delaying the inevitable, my mom finally heeded Katie Couric’s advice and scheduled a colonoscopy. She’s put this off for years, but after some prodding from her friends, she finally bit the bullet and made an appointment to have her booty checked out. Except, unlike the rest of us who would think ANAESTHESIA=DON’T [...]

Your Mom Got Arrested for What?

by Shannon on 23. Aug, 2009 in School Drama, Wild Mom

I waited until the absolute worst possible day to take the kids to the mall for back to school shopping: the Saturday before every child attending public school in Texas starts.

We had dinner this weekend with our neighbors. Alright, well not much dinner, more like cocktails but who’s counting. We hit the neighbor jackpot 5 years ago when we moved in (new parents, pay attention…..) Our wonder neighbors have 3 kids, just like we do. But (and this is critical) their oldest child is two [...]

Coffee Karma

by Shannon on 22. Jul, 2009 in A Working Mom, Random Mom, Wild Mom

You would think in my house, people would know by now not to come in between me and my caffeine. It’s really taking your life in your own hands. Most mornings, I sort of blindly half stumble and half crawl to the coffee pot, which as we all know, doesn’t always work out so well. [...]
