WELCOME MAT IS OUT!


  • So, what's it like, 6 people living in a 7 room house...besides, 2 danged much laundry, I mean?


    Take our virtual tour!


    This Full House is a full-frontal encounter into my life as a SAHM, lover of multi-functional gadgets, slayer of ALL appliances proved slow and/or inefficient, with 4 children, 2 cats, 1 super hyper sock-eating chocolate lab...oh, and 2 danged much laundry.

    In other words, I make OTHER mothers look good!

This Full House Gives Back: Cuss, it's for a good cause!

Woman_censored

I have a potty mouth.  No, it's NOT a very proud statement.  Is it?  Anyhow, once I became a mom - wow...has it been 14 years, already? - I tried really hard NOT to swear, especially around the kids.

They have this terrible habit of repeating things, you know?

So, as my children got older and their understanding the improper use of vocabulary got bigger, I started a "potty-mouth" jar.  The kids paid 25 cents for each swear word and a dollar was donated for each time one slipped passed mom (or pop) and, let me tell you, I practically paid for our family vacation to Cape May, last year!

Today, we were able to make a rather large donation - with the help of my blogging friends - and I AM PROUD to say that I'm in pretty good company!

Ok, I think I could've paid for my trip to Blogher if I had done that. I am terrible! (worse than my husband who is a police officer. UGH!)
It's the worst because I really try hard not to do it in front of the kids, but it's like I explode when I leave the house!

ps You vacationed in Cape May??? I live in NJ and love it there. So pretty!

We don't have to curse anymore? I felt like such a potty mouth! I have been broken of cursing myself by listening to someone else curse nonstop.
