Top 10 Potential Ashley Madison Hackers

August 22, 2015 by Carrie On, Y'all 1 Comment

Top 10 Potential Ashley Madison Hackers

“Life is short. Have an affair.” The now-hacked Ashley Madison slogan seems pitifully out of place considering that 32 million people potentially searching for affairs may now be in very big trouble with their boyfriends, girlfriends, and spouses. Like all of America, I’m shocked, disgusted, and in a “train-wreck-can’t-look-away” way fascinated by computer hackers’ recent online […]

10 Things I Hope My Kids Will Say About Their Childhood

10 Things I Hope My Kids Will Say About Their Childhood

Someday my kids will grow up. Sometimes a day seems to last a month, and sometimes a month flies by like the snap of my fingers. But someday, someday, they will grow up. They will leave our house and go off to make their own lives. They’ll go to college and choose their paths. They will date […]

She Thought I Was a Bad Mother

July 12, 2015 by Carrie On, Y'all 16 Comments

She Thought I Was a Bad Mother

You are a bad mother. She didn’t say it in so many words. It was the way she looked at me after she caught me in a moment of parental weakness…accusatory, disgusted, disbelieving that she could be in the presence of such a deadbeat parent. I poke fun at my own parenting skills (or lack thereof) all […]

A Summer Halftime Speech for My Kids

  Hey, kids. Huddle up. In case you haven’t noticed, with the beginning of July, summer is now halfway over. It’s time for us to have a summer halftime speech, get our butts in gear, and complete all those goals we ambitiously laid out at the end of May. In May, we were so ready […]

Dear Moms: There’s a Taylor Swift Song for That

Dear Moms: There’s a Taylor Swift Song for That

Ever since I heard a young Taylor Swift sing “Tim McGraw” back in 2006, I knew that Taylor had my number. Even though I’m old enough to be her, *ahem* older sister, Swift’s catchy songs (she writes or co-writes nearly all of them), her likability, and her genuine capacity to connect to the experience of […]

Dear Future (and Past, and Present) Husband

Dear Future (and Past, and Present) Husband, Yesterday was our ninth wedding anniversary. Nine years ago, we were married outside, in the South, in the oppressive heat and humidity. Our families, our friends, and relatives we had never heard of arrived in droves to see our impending nuptials and silently judge my choices of color, decor, […]

Chore Charts for Kids: Saving Mom’s Summer Sanity

Chore Charts for Kids: Saving Mom’s Summer Sanity

At our house, summer boredom, screaming fights, messy everything, and me somehow acting as mediator/maid/short order cook has caused me to reevaluate how I wanted to spend the summer with my three kids. First of all, let me be clear. I’m NOT a Pinterest mom. Far from it, actually. I love and admire those organized, super-creative, […]

Yurt So Good: Camping for Families Who Don’t Usually Camp

Yurt So Good: Camping for Families Who Don’t Usually Camp

Last weekend, my family and I had the opportunity to camp for two nights in an Arkansas state park, in a yurt. Don’t know what a yurt is? I’ll explain. A yurt is a circular domed tent. Portable yurts do exist, but the yurt where we stayed was a permanent structure. The yurt has a […]

An Open Letter to Dana Dusbiber, an English Teacher Who Doesn’t Want to Teach Shakespeare

An Open Letter to Dana Dusbiber, an English Teacher Who Doesn’t Want to Teach Shakespeare

Dear Ms. Dusbiber: We don’t know each other, but I’ve been in your English teacher shoes. The other day, I read the Washington Post article that mentions how you no longer want to teach Shakespeare because of your “own personal disinterest in reading stories written in an early form of the English language that [you] cannot always easily […]

How SAHMotherhood Is Like Being Cinderella

How SAHMotherhood Is Like Being Cinderella

Yesterday, as Cinderella was dancing across our TV screen and I was fishing a toy out from under the couch and cleaning whatever I could get while I was at it, I realized something. I’m Cinderella. I work for no pay. I’m expected to cook, clean, do laundry, and be pleasant while all that’s going on. […]
