The End of Mommy Blogs
I like to believe that's Dr. Pepper in the bottle. Papi had to talk me down off the ledge again last night. I was having my bimonthly emotional crisis*. This time it was brought on by reading too many good-mother blogs. When I first stumble across these I find them inspiring. The moms take professional-quality pictures of children in clothes that they personally sewed from vintage fabric. They make healthy dinners using the organic, locally-grown produce they find at the farmer's market, which of course their children are delighted to eat. Their children eschew Pokemon in favor of Waldorf toys and have yet to watch a television program. They go on "simple living" kicks while simultaneously posting at least daily about the perfectly hip items they found that they COULD buy, because they're also somehow not teetering on the brink of financial apocalypse. They live in mint-condition midcentury houses that are featured on Cookie's blog. All of these things...
I'm all in favor of Arnold Palmers, but don't you think that a tumblr of porn shots of them is a bit much?
ReplyDeleteNo!
ReplyDeleteDo you drink yours with or without alcohol?
ReplyDeleteI was at a restaurant once where the lady at the next table had downed about half of hers before she called over the waitress and said "is there alcohol in this" The waitress replied "wait, shouldn't there be?" The lady was NOT pleased.
An alcoholic Arnold Palmer? Wouldn't that be like a Shirley Temple with a shot of vodka added?
ReplyDeleteNo, silly, a Shirley Temple is a 7-Up with Grenadine. An AP with alcohol is a John Daly.
ReplyDeleteExcellent.
