About

This is me.

09Oct14_NYC_36

I think the best music is from two centuries ago, use an obscene amount of conditioner and am utterly addicted to Nutella. I require approximately nine hours of sleep a night, but get more like five. That explains my state of constant confusion and exhaustion. In real life, I talk with my hands… a lot. To read how that translates to a blog, click here.

These are my children.

Lily is my first born. She is six and is the sweetest, most dramatic and intense creature I can imagine. She is also the most likely to resent this blog. Ben is four. He loves dinosaurs and grilled cheese and thinks that bodily functions are simply hilarious. Evan is two and more trouble than any third child should be. He’s usually messy, often dancing and always up to no good.

This is my husband.

I believe in soul mates and have no doubt that he is mine. But he drives me fucking crazy.

And Penelope is our big red dog.

But how old is Evan?

I’m in love with your dog. At least how cute she is.

Love that you said fucking. My mother would faint if it was in my blog (as she might be my only reader). But it’s a part of my everyday vocabulary. Nice.

New to your blog, and I don’t know where to start because clearly I could spend hours on here. My boss would not be happy, since I’m more likely to have “free” time at work than at home. Love the pics—your kids are beautiful!

We must have been on the same 80s wavelength today because I felt the need to write about my unfaltering devotion to Debbie Gibson. I used to draw smiley faces on my knees to show through my denim holes. I also said ‘tubular’, like a Ninja Turtle.

I just came across your blog tonight and LOOOVE it! Its so nice to hear someone being honest about motherhood. It is the best, most rewarding thing ever, but is very very scary/stressful/suicidal(lol)/crazy @ times…LOL. Some moms sugarcoat their lives and make me feel like I am a failure as a mom, in reality, they are the failure for being fake & crazy!!

Your 4YO Ben reminds me of my Mr.4…especially with that look on his face. Great “About Me”! Would love you to read mine! :)

How about that! I have a Lily (9) and Ben (7), too. No Evan, though. The ship has sailed. :)

Hey Jill, found you on Twitter and LOVE your blog, it’s nice to find another crazed mama that is so refreshingly honest and blunt as hell. We have the same sick sense of humor! I busted out laughing at the blurb about your hubby, I think we’re married to the same man?! One day I want to kiss the hell out of him, others I just want to throw him through the damn wall……guess that’s love, huh?

I just found your blog through twitter and I love it!! It’s nice to know there are other moms who swear and don’t have perfect lives and don’t give a shit what anyone else thinks. I LOVE your “Alienating people…” post. LMAO

Rock on!
