Mom to the Screaming Masses: Things I just DO NOT understand

BlogHer Ad Network

How perfume can smell so great in a bottle and give me the worst headache
How ribs can taste sooo good and be so bad for you - The Hubster's birthday dinner
How my husband can be 53 years old today - this is not possible - the man looks my age (38, in case you need a refresher)
How much time and energy it is taking me to do the taxes
and the financial aid paperwork, which must be filed by Feb 1
which is in 2 days - what happened to January?
How I managed to breathe today after my daughter dumped my huge cup of iced coffee all over the interior of my van
How easy it was to eat Ice Cream Cake for breakfast
Why I have another headache - possible relation to the taxes listed above?
How much paperwork I have to fill out for next year's schooling - I'm petrified that I'm going to lose something vital
How much money I am spending on groceries lately
where is all the gray in my hair coming from?
grumpy people
people with attitude
fake people
how I can be proud of my son for standing up for something that he believes in, something that needs to be fixed, and still be so annoyed with him
did I mention the taxes, and the paperwork? And the birthday? Can't swing a cat around here without hitting a birthday....

About Me

WANTED, Carmen, mom to the Masses, for dangerous undertakings inside and outside the home. Last seen with her partner The Hubster, and six accomplices (Nikolas, 16, Allegra, 13, Mackenzie 10, Gabriel 8, Emma 5 and Riley, 4). This fugitive is considered armed (with epi pens and inhalers) and dangerous, especially when she hasn't had her morning coffee. She is particularly difficult to recognize due to a recent 80 pound weight loss (size 18-20 down to 2-4!), and has been known to hide beneath large piles of laundry. She's a fan of running races and can be found reading, lifting weights, practicing capoeira or running to the store for milk. ( Read more here.)

I think a few of those would be on my list too.
Best wishes

Hey my DH's bday is the 29th, the old fart is now 43. I am 38 can you tell?? lol. We had turkey burgers, they were yummo.. he LOVEs ribs too though.

ANd I am FAFSA mad crazy over here as well. Plus to add to the fun WE are self employed! Good times! I got it all to the accountant last week after you know catching up on 8 months worth of statements. (whoops) now we are waiting on what? My 1090 form from my job. I work for my DAD but still dont have my form. lol

We are visiting colleges and doing a weekend thing in a few weeks and there is a parent mixer..yeah I am getting a headache now.

BTW I cant wear real perfume b/c of the headaches. I have to wear body sprays OR the philosophy perfumes are wonderful. I have falling in love & amazing grace I adore, pure grace is okay, smells like soap.
Did I say enough??

I agree with most those, too. Although, we Homeschool so no Financial Aid forms here for the kids. Now, for the HUBS is another matter, Student Loans, NOT fun.

I hope your day improves!

Some of those same things are on my list and we are also being audited this year. Great. Hope things look up soon. Don't know if it will help, but I keep telling myself age is just a number!

Happy 53rd Birthday to the Hubster!

There are two things you can be certain of death and taxes!

Look for the positive! She could have spilled that coffee in your new jeep! lol
I've read ahead and see you have a handle on that huge list above. I'm jealous!

Taxes! Yes,I hate them. I get all the totals ready for my hubby and he does them. Nonetheless, I hate it! I feel your pain.
