Gosh, where do I start?
I’d like to thank my daughter for naming me “Baddest Mother EVER.” If it weren’t for her, I never would have gotten the chance to be a mother, much less a bad mother and now BADDEST MOTHER EVER!
The first I heard about my nomination was after she kicked the bedroom wall for the forty eleventh time one Tuesday night and I found myself standing in her darkened doorway screaming, “It is QUIET TIME!!!!” She, in her Tinkerbell pajamas, snarled at me with every wiry sinew of her tiny body, “YOU are the baddest mother EVER!” So, as the mature adult, I replied, “You damn straight I am!”
And thus was born this blog. There are a lot of things in life that just have to be claimed and I have decided that being the baddest mother ever is one of the honors in my life that I will claim.
Because at 10pm, when I’m drinking wine out of a cardboard box from Target and I Google “baddest mother ever” I see pictures of Jackie Chan, Shaft and Samuel L. Jackson. Can’t go wrong with them, right? Damn straight.
I love this blog with great love 🙂
Thanks!
I’m speechless and very happy.
I have held that title a time or two with the sash and tiara…in Texas we do things BIG!At this time I am hip and cool….But these titles are hard to maintain.Just wait until she is out of Tinkerbell pjs…..then you hit professional parenting!May I suggest a book?Get Out of My Life,but First Will You Drive Me and Cheryl to the mall!It might help you stay sober at the tween/teen time.I had puberty and pampers at the same time!!Long story.
Ruth Ann told me about your blog and how it came to be named. Love the story.
Tonight, she called me “BME” and said it meant “Best Mommy Ever!” But that wouldn’t make a very appealing blog name.
I agree!
My son once told me that I am the most annoying person in the world! I was pretty excited as I have never held a world title. Of course, now he denies ever saying it, but he did. (Full Disclosure–He said this when he was a teen, and annoying a teen can be as easy as humming under your breath in public.)
