Mommy Loves Stilettos

Sperm Donor.

Most of you know that Katelyn's "dad" has only seen her twice in the last year. He knows nothing about her school, her activities, her daily life, etc. He is an alcoholic and a drug addict. He has made it very clear that he really doesn't care about being involved unless it's a holiday and he feels obligated. This morning a friend of mine came across his facebook page and apparently he just changed his profile picture from one of him with a drink in his hand to this:

This was Halloween two years ago. TWO years ago. That's the most recent picture he has of his child. Not to mention that he doesn't/hasn't done SHIT for her ever. He has never been stable or consistently in her life. So maybe I'm being a bitch, but it really bothers me that he is using a picture of himself and our child that he never even sees as his facebook picture. I mean enough of the fake bullshit. You aren't a dad. You don't try. And quite frankly it really pisses me off that he tries to pretend he cares and pretend he is a dad. He might be a dad because his sperm was involved. But he isn't a dad in any other sense of the word.

Shut Your Whore Mouth.

Remember when I talked about Momzillas the other day? Well today I'm going to touch on that subject again. There is a certain someone that I really would like to give a piece of my mind to but it's really not appropriate because well it just isn't. This certain someone will call her BitchFace - she likes to make passive aggressive comments to me about my life. I'm not married and living with my boyfriend who is not the father of my children, oh and my children have different dads - so this means I'm white trash. Well according to her.
And let me tell you something, I may have a trashy mouth at times but I am far from being white trash.

She also thinks there is a problem with me taking my daughter to the Justin Bieber concert. Well, I have a problem with it too. Would you like to know my problem? My problem is that I don't enjoy the little twit's music but because it makes the diva smile - we're going. So really, I think my problem with it is much bigger than your problem - which I believe you said is that I don't force nursery rhyme cd's on my seven year old. Because nursery rhymes are appropriate. I'd rather hear Justin Bieber's whiney ass than the Itsy Bitsy Spider complete with hand motions and stupid faces.

The other issue that we don't agree on is that every mom needs a break sometimes. She thinks that when you have a child you just sign away your life and alone time forever. Not true. That's why there are family members, husbands, boyfriends, and babysitters. You will very rarely find me without a child or five. I usually have mine, sometimes my sister's and sometimes Katelyn's friends. Cole goes to his dad's every other weekend but Katelyn is with us all the time. I work 50 hours a week, I take care of two children, I have a household to keep clean, laundry for all four of us, I go to the gym 5 days a week, I am working on Macaroni Kid stuff, I volunteer for PTA, and my kids each have their activities that I take them to. AND my boyfriend/other half works the opposite shift so I'm on my own every night with my kids. I wear a lot of hats and if you don't think I deserve a couple of hours to sleep, paint my god damn toenails or just talk to myself - you are fucking crazy. If I had a husband who worked from home, and only one child who wasn't involved in any activities I probably wouldn't be as stressed. But I have two children, basically two jobs along with many other things we're involved in - and I wear a LOT of hats. You couldn't survive a DAY in my life so stick that in your juice box and SUCK IT!

I could go on. But I have things to do, like work. Shut your whore mouth and try it some time!!!

Merry-Go-Round

credit: istockphoto.com

I don't remember when the merry-go-round started but I know that it wasn't long after we became a couple. Maybe 4 or 5 months? I guess that's irrelevant though. I just know that once it started it took me about 9 years to get off that ride. At first it's fun. It's new and exciting. Then you get tired of it but it just keeps spinning and no matter what you do you just can't get off until the merry-go-round stops. And when you are the one on the ride, you can't stop it alone. You either get some help, or you let it go round and round until it finally slows down.

I remember praying that it would be over and that I could get off that ride. And then I remember thinking, "Well this is ok. Things are good right now." Problem was that those good times could turn to horrific in no time flat and there was never any sign of when or where it would happen. Everything spun out of control and I did what I could to try to adapt and try to just enjoy the good times. But as the years went on, I became more and more bitter.

Eventually the ride slowed and and things started to look up for me. And then one day I met someone who walked right up and jerked that merry-go-round to a stop. My world stopped spinning out of control and I realized how much I missed out on by being scared to jump off that stupid merry-go-round. And now here I am, 2-1/2 years after the merry-go-round stopped and life couldn't be sweeter. I am grateful every day that someone came along that and stopped it. I'm not too proud to say that I know I wasn't strong enough to do it on my own.

So, thank you Danny - for being seeing that I was more than just damaged goods and helping me see that I deserved so much more than a ride on a rusty merry-go-round.

Hotel Party!

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Hampton Hotels. All opinions are 100% mine.

When I was younger (and not a mom) I was the queen of hotel parties. I had strict parents and we had to go somewhere to party like rockstars (ok maybe not like rockstars but you get the point). No I am not condoning underage drinking and what not. Just telling you that I love hotels and I have stayed in some that suck and some that are fantabulous! If I were to have a hotel party now, it would include many little people and lots of popcorn. Just sayin! Times have changed for this girl :) It would be really awesome even though it would not include alcoholic beverages and rave music. :)

And who doesn't love to stay in a hotel for a night and not have to clean up after themselves or their children? That's like a mini vacation for a mom!

Chips for Breakfast.

Cole had chips for breakfast and Katelyn was a total diva this morning so needless to say I've already popped a xanax and it's been a rough morning. SO - I'm in no mood for writing even though I have a shit ton to say. You get pictures instead.

Me, My BFF, and Amber
