Welcome to the 1st Monday of the month and you know what that means, right?

[sound of crickets chirping]

Besides catching up on tons of laundry from last week, I've got this little column over at the Imperfect Parent -- yeah, I don't know how that happened, either -- and, this month, I'm opening up (for the first time) about how I Remember Mama, why I hate the dark, going down into basements, cleaning out closets, or how I try NOT to remember anything else before the age of 12.

Because, I am ALL about over-sharing.

[takes deep breath]

Speaking about dirty laundry, remember last week, when I admitted that, you know, my house stinks?

Well, I did it -- no, not the stinky part -- I entered the girls' room (all 3 of my daughters share a bedroom) into the My House Stinks Contest.  Why?  Well, did I mention that all 3 of my daughters share a bedroom?  Yes.  Okay, but did you know that the walls are purple?  Okay.  So, then you already know that it is DESPERATELY in need of a fresh coat of paint, or 2 dozen, right?

Help me win a room makeover and I'll love you, forever -- vote for us, here!

So, what does Mother's Day have to do with all this?  Absolutely, nothing.  Besides the fact that it's this weekend and, you know, I'll be too busy running around wishing everyone else a "Happy Mother's Day" to celebrate, my own!

[heavy sigh]

Feeling sorry for me, yet?

Okay, I'll shuddup, now GO VOTE!!!
