I’m a Scary Mommy Today!

I am thrilled to be featured on the Scary Mommy Society today.

I would love you more than wine (okay more than cheap beer that I really don’t like) if you would go read and spread some love, joy and glitter on my post today at Scary Mommy. I’m talking about the awesome benefits of being an older mom. I may have mentioned my perimenopausal paunch. Twice.

Just don’t spread glitter in my house because that shit drives me crazy. Give Jill some glitter on my post – I’m sure she loves to do glitter crafts. Or not.  Okay, don’t tell her I told you to sprinkle her with glitter.  It’s our little secret.

If you are here at Sellabit Mum for the first time – Welcome. I’m serving Old Vine Red today. It’s my current favorite. Not a wine drinker – I also have coffee. Always coffee. In fact I need more coffee.

Here are some of my post popular posts to get to know me better. …

I mainly write humor and how I’m the strictest parent on the planet – like these…

Am I really Celibate if I have 3 children – and my husband must whine a lot

Ode to a minivan and the bitches who drive them – basically I’m just jealous

How my damn cat almost killed me and I lived to tell about it

I talk to myself, you? Hello – anybody in there?

Mealtime Manners and the mother’s who enforce strict rules

But I also dabble in photography and post an obsessive amount of photos like these…

The Marriage Proposal

Teaching my kids to swear

Every day at Three

She made us Five

Go ahead and introduce yourself in the comments and tell me your drink of choice today as I would love to go visit your blog.

Just please no glitter. I’d hate to vacuum on a Thursday.

    First time over and laughing my head off! We are very anti-wire hanger here. Very. And I’m quite anti-glitter as well. Fricking sticks to everything. And found some in my kid’s diaper the other day. Kind of disturbing. On the other hand, I can see that she’s trying to accessorize, so that’s good….

    Sqqquueeeee!!!! Tracy you are so LUCKY! Guest posting for Scary Mommy is on my Bucket List. Seriously. I also knew I liked for you for a reason. I too had my last baby the days after my 40th birthday. Sister! I try very hard to not act my age…but I still get the occassional “hanging with the grnadkids today?” questions.
    I’d love to do a repost of your fabulous post on my blog if possible. Let me know!

    Glitter is my nemesis! With girls it’s hard to keep it out of the house, especially when they’re craft-making girls like mine are but damn it makes me wanna scream. My drink of choice is margaritas (and yup, I’ll have them during the week and be mad that I can’t get up on time for work the next morning, but I’ll still have another the next day).

    I hate glitter.

    That Pink song?

    What a dumbass.

    But you are awesome and not at all scary except for today so I will go there now.

    Yay Scary Mommy!

    Ha! I’d never read your minivan post. You make driving a minivan sound so chic and glamorous – basically, the exact opposite of how I’ve always perceived them. But I cracked up at the line about driving a toaster down the street. That’s exactly what they look like!

    Off to read you at Scary Mommy. Check you out – hangin’ with big-time the bloggers! Although, you’re also a big-time blogger now – after all, you get hate mail. ;)

      For those of us who covet the minivan – it IS glamorous. Truly. I weep a bit when I see a new one drive by.

    Even though I like glitter (don’t hate me), I do keep it to myself–which should count for something. I loved your post over at Scary Mommy. So glad to find your blog!

    Loved your Scary Mommy society post. It inspired me to write my own post for Scary Mommy Society even though I’m a dad blogger.

    I get all kinds of strange reactions for being a stay-at-home dad. Some are flattering, some are annoying. It just so happens that Mom is the bread winner and I’m the primary care-taker. Nothing special or noble about that.

    Great work you’re doing; keep it up, please!
