June 19th, 2013 | Add a Comment

  I LOVE to HATE my blog.. but I think LOVE is winning. Hi I’m Molley from A Mother Life, Hot Mess Mom offered me success and ‘awesomeness’ status to come and guest post for her. She promised me all manner of increased readership and exposure, even fame if I could help her out while she was absent from her blog. Haha, sure, right, that’s what she offered, ok let’s be real, that little red headed fliberty gibbet is out sunning her vodka infused carcass somewhere so fabulous, she’s too drunk to write about it and just needed us to fill in the blanks, so her readers wouldn’t find other places to go. Am I right? You know I am.. so now we’ve cleared that up. Today you’re stuck with me, but I think … Read entire article »

Million MILF March from YOUR perspective.

Meet my friend Liese.  She is you.  She is a Hot Mess Mom reader.  She lives 600 miles away from me.  We became friends. She sent me this yesterday,  unsolicited because she knows I’m stressed about both the event planning and my lack of writing.  So she fixed both.  Cuz she’s a fixer.  Like Kerry Washington on Scandal.  Except different.   I kind of love her. Million Milf March, A Life Changer So, my lovely friend, Hot Mess Mom, has been super busy with her cartoon world life.

Life has gotten in the way, and I’m sorry.

  Where to begin, where to begin??? First of all, you guys must hate me.  Or, if you already hated me, then you probably love me ‘cuz I am NOT writing.   Remember when I used to pride myself on the fact that I was a blogger who actually BLOGGED?  Hot Mess Mom was more than just a Facebook page.  It’s not anymore.  Not really.  And I hate that. I have legitimate excuses to explain my lack of quality time with my laptop.  I do.  Flood in the house.  2 months of living in a gutted house and through a semi-renovation.  No internet during a portion of that time.  End of school responsibilities.  Vacation.  Doctors appointments. Life. Life has … Read entire article »

Sliding Doors ~ Sponsored Post {alternate title, I want these terribly}

Y’all know I don’t do too many sponsored posts and am super selective to what I publish.  This post came to me at the perfect time as I’m going through this whole kitchen remodel and AM currently replacing the existing doors. My plan was to only replace the french doors in the kitchen.  Now I’m seriously budgeting for some of these for the hallway and my closet.  The look amazing.  I’m attaching pics of a few of my favorites, but they have styles for every taste..  I’m a little shabby chic in case you didn’t know Sliding Doors, a Great Way to Update the Look of Your Home A great way to improve the look … Read entire article »

Tilers and plumbers and floorers…Oh my! (alternate title: My stupid day)

  If you don’t follow me on Facebook, then you are probably wondering why I haven’t posted in so long.  If you do follow you, you have no questions. Apparently, we had some “water damage” and my entire house is gutted.  No floors, no furniture, huge drying fans,etc.  It’s been almost 3 weeks.  Floor is still wet.  It’s not a super situation. I’m lucky to be dealing with a great group of contractors/ sub contractors/ laborers.  They probably don’t consider themselves quite as lucky to be dealing with me. Anyhoo, I can’t even get into the specifics.. just know that my house is a complete and total clusterfuck and for every one issue we know about, we find another … Read entire article »

Today, we talk Menopause. Come on, you know you want to.

  As you know, I have recently turned 40.  The majority of my friends are between the ages of 42 & 49.  There’s some weird stuff that happens when you turn 40.  And I don’t mean “in your 40′s”.  I mean like THE DAY you turn 40.  So, I’m taking it upon myself as a public service to create a new category on HMM for issues and topics that don’t matter until the fateful day you leave your 30′s.  {You’re welcome;} Today, class.. we are going to talk about Menopause. I’ve been hearing about this menopause thing for awhile now.   When I was 35, I thought I was pre-menopausal based on the insane, irrational, and unrelenting mood … Read entire article »

My trip to the liquor store

    It’s 7:40 pm.  I have “resurfaced concrete” all day.  I’m tired, dirty, and not very pretty.  I had a hankering for Conundrum (cuz I haven’t had enough of THAT this week) and ran up to the neighborhood liquor store. A) I live in the suburbs in a very nice, quaint, older neighborhood B) Our liquor store is the size of your living room. C) They know me by name.  Which would be embarrassing, but they know everyone by name.   I’m wearing a Million MILF March T-shirt over a jersey dress with flip flops..  It’s not a good look. I walk in to a dog, 6 other shoppers, a vendor giving away samples of margaritas and vodka, and a pony-tailed man … Read entire article »

I think “life lesson”, my boys think “homeless man’s toilet water”

Soooo… I’m driving home with my boys tonight and an old Cheryl Crow song comes on..  I, like always, .. give them a little background of the artist and why I love them… Me: And also.. when I was bar-tending downtown, there was this homeless man whom I loved.  He was batshit crazy.. Like, really crazy.  But I loved him.  Sometimes when you work in a city, you either take the same train, same subway or walk the same streets.. and you see the same homeless people day after day.. you can ignore them or talk to them.  I ignored some, and talked to some..  This man.. he called himself  Dr. John..   I talked to all … Read entire article »
