I’m gonna need a bigger boat. or a better lawyer.
{sigh}
I am so lucky. I am so blessed. Really. The level of success that Hot Mess Mom has achieved in 14 months is amazing. I am so happy.
I am also so busy– like, full-time job busy.. I’m sure you’ve noticed that my writing has slowed. I’m down to a few posts per week where I have always had 4-7 weekly posts. Is my life suddenly boring and calm and normal so I’m lacking material? NO. I am so slammed currently with merchandise and people wanting to advertise and partner and guest post on my site (which I do not allow) or have me guest post on theirs (which I say yes, but then never follow through because I don’t have an extra second in my day)
I hate that I’m not posting as much and I have committed to myself to get back to regular posting after the holidays… Currently, I put my kids to bed, sit on the floor, and pack and ship water bottles from 9-12 almost every night. It’s fricking crazy!!
Again.. These are all GREAT problems to have!! And with the merchandise, I would totally be making money.. like decent money!!
If only I didn’t have to send thousands of dollars to attorneys every few month. Yep.. you heard it.. attorneys!
In what universe does a mommy-blogger need an attorney?? In mine. In a universe full of hundreds of thousands of awesome, fun, smart. snarky, supportive readers. And a handful of douche canoes. As with everything else .. douche canoes ruin the world.
So, I have spent money.. lots and lots of money.. to Trademark all things “Hot Mess Mom”, “Million MILF March”, “Vodka Baby” & “there’s a chance this is vodka” . That shit ain’t cheap. But I’m happy to do it to ensure the douche canoes don’t get to steal my shizzle…
But guess what?? After spending a fucktillion dollars to make sure MY shit remains MY shit.. these fucktards STILL try to steal it. And when they do that.. guess what I have to do? Go spend more fucking money to make them stop!!
Damn it y’all…

RELATED POSTS & INTERESTSMy trip to the liquor storeI think "life lesson", my boys think "homeless man's toilet water"I had a slow leak (not a metaphor) and now I need a wife.This is how Seven & I fightMy house may actually get CLEAN today! |
These douche canoes obviously have no idea who they are fucking with…Damn, I was gonna ask you to guest post on my site (guess that just went out the window). Look on the bright side cupcake,I’m still ironing out our GNO liquor sponsors so there’s one less thing for you to spend money on
Seriously though, sorry you are going through it, but happy you had enough insight to prepare for it (even if that was some expensive ass insight).
lol!
give me the date again for Feb!!
2/23 Is our GNO date. Write it down lady!
Ok so i stole the words fucktard and fucktillion for my daily vocabulary- please tell me that doesn’t make me a canidate to be a douche canoe- i just couldn’t live with myself if i was!……….and thanks for the words ’cause sometimes you just need more reasons to use the word fuck……….i’m just fucking classy like that!
you can have douche canoe and fucktillion.. just don’t steal my posts or my name or my merchandise and claim it as your own
Always has to be a few douche canoes in the river of life. It’s how the rest of us learn NOT to be
They are like guide posts for shit creek. It seems the lawyers would be the only real winners. What asshats!!
my lawyer is great.. i have to say.. i just hate that i need him!
One of the attorneys I work for does that exact same job. I know it sucks for the client. There are times I wish there weren’t so many douche canoes out there myself! Good luck with everything
Don’t forget to trademark your post cheese poop problems.
no doubt. I should make a cheese tray that says “you are going to regret this tomorrow”.. TRADEMARK!
You are going somewhere, lady. The douche-canoes will learn sooner or later how bitchy Karma is. (And btw I WAS wondering why the infrequency of posts…)
Just remember if someone has to stoop to the level to try and steal even your posts, well that shit is just Sad and so is the persons life, if they are so boring and have no life that they need to steal your post, shall I say WackJob!……
I think I may know that person, sounds a lot like my brothers ex-girlfriend. (She use to clam saying shit I just got done saying, to people that just heard me say it, sometimes with me still standing there.) When that would happen people would look at me expecting me to call her out on it, and I would not, instead I would calmly and politely engage discussion and just ask questions on how she came up with said thought/idea/opinion (that I had and said), and it would make her look like a stupid ass idiot cause she couldn’t explain “her own” comment. Yep I can be a mean bitch!
UGH. that happens to my hubs with his t-shirts. Such a pain in the ass. Dumb people are unoriginal and WONT think outside of the box for themselves.
A lot of work and effort goes into conceptualizing a good, sell-able idea then designing something that anyone will understand within the first 3 seconds of viewing it.
The biggest slap in the face was when a retail store started to carry horrible a copy of one of Hubs designs. Grrr.
Be original Bitches!!
Print your logo on a (cheap) tshirt to send to these people that says “Karma’s Only a Bitch if YOU Are.” You can even write it off as advertising!
The more lawyers the better is what I always say!
Whoa…wait…did I miss something?
Do I need to punch someone in the man meat?
I definitely learned some new words in this one!!
What is it they say? “With great power comes great responsibility?” I guess you now can say “With great success comes great lawyer bills!”
Sorry people like to steal.
Oh geez! Why do people have to be douche canoes! Glad to hear your busy though! Always a great feeling!
