I'm crabby. I'm out of sorts. I'm stymied by my own huge gigantic burden of procrastination...so I'm blogging.
From Suburban Blight I got to White Trash Mom, who has named a species of mom--the Muffia.
Grrr. The Muffia are rising up around me.
Sept. 16 2005 What Is the Muffia--the term comes from Allison Pearson's book, I Don't Know How She Does It. (ISBN 0375414053--you know the drill, put the ISBN into a search engine and you get sales sites).
The main character in the book is constantly getting attacked from the rear by the perfect moms that she refers to as "the muffia". I about peed my pants reading parts of this book as it was so TRUE. It was after reading this book that I decided to go PUBLIC with my whole "white trash" philosophy on parenting.
Oct. 2 2005 Am I Muffia if I Bake or Groom?
Baking or Cooking does not make you a MUFFY. Using Baking or Cooking as a way to impress other moms or to make other women feel bad is what makes you a member of the MUFFIA
What makes you a member of the "muffia" is if you are NOT naturally a snappy dresser but you do so to IMPRESS the other MOMS.
May 9 2006 Summer Enrichment My Ass
It just pisses me off that I am considered lazy or that I am depriving my kids by not providing them with a slew of activities for their "summer enrichment". Doing nothing is not EVIL! Being bored is not the worst thing in the world for kids.
We will probably get some Math help this summer. There is Girl Scout camp. We've got some tennis lessons planned. But every fiber of my White Trash Motherhood is against over-booking and scheduling my kids for activities during their break. Are you with me, WTMs? Tell me what you think!
May 15 2006 International White Trash Mothers (WTM)
If we keep gathering "converts" to our WTM philosophy of life, we should be able to overthrow the "muffia" far sooner than originally planned.
Raise your coffee cup, your diet coke or whatever you are drinking right now and Let's toast our future...a future where store bought cookies are good enough, school auctions are banned and anyone NOT wearing pajamas at morning drop-off is shunned.

Do the Muffia "do" muffin tops? (Do good for the gooey bottoms....)

muffin tops, like the lump of flab that overruns a too-tight waistband? or Muffin tops, like just the top of the muffin (sold here widely)...
