domestic failure
Epic Fail ~ September 2017 edition
You know how I’m always saying I need to get my act together? No? Well, I do. I say it all the time. And do you know why I say it all the time? Because my act is so far from together it’s absurd. Let me give you this ridiculous example. I was enjoying some…

This post has actually been published twice and happens to be my most popular post. I’m not really sure why other than there are really twisted people who read my blog. So enjoy… http://jennifermobleythompson.com/a-lawn-mower-a-snake-and-a-phone/

I’m not sure when I lost control over my house. Perhaps it was when the hormonal balance within these walls shifted. Considering my own lack of estrogen and the absence of another female in the house on a consistent basis, the testosterone can be almost palpable at times. I know I’m partially to blame. Last…

We interrupt our regularly scheduled programming to bring you this breaking news… Never was my failure as a domestic more apparent than today. It’s stinkin’ hot here right now and I had no capris to wear this morning. I could have worn Bermudas but I didn’t actually think that one through in the shower and,…

While I’m not even close to being a linear thinker, I do believe stories are best when started at the beginning. So here it goes. Wednesday, April 23: Todd and I stopped at the local Wawa on our way to the Philadelphia airport for gas and coffee. In that order. Gas for the car. Coffee…

TODDY’S HOME!! TODDY’S HOME!!! It was a long week-and-a-half and we’re so glad it’s over!! Since he’s been either in a nice hotel or at his brother and sister-in-law’s, and therefore has become used to cleanliness, I decided he should come home to a nice, clean room and bathroom. (I’m pretty good at redirecting responsibility…
