Imperfect parenting moments..I’ve had plenty of those. Recently I was in a rush to get out of the house and I was taking my 6 year old son with me to do some errands. We stopped by the video store to rent some movies and my son kept asking me for some candy as we got up to the counter and of course I kept telling him NO. So he proceeded to reach down in the candy bins and start to grab what he was interested in and as I turned around I noticed that he was flashing his bare behind to everyone in the whole store. His pants were down around his knees. I hadn’t made sure he put on his underwear and belt before we left, I had just assumed he had done it when I asked him to. (he likes to go commando) Needless to say I was pretty embarrassed and hurried to get my son and myself out of the store amid snickering people asap.

My life is like one big vaginal roller coaster ride.
If my life were an attraction at Disney World, it would be called, “Estrogen Mountain.” Or perhaps, “It’s a Small Ball World.” There would be big headed, lovable characters like “Menstrual Mouse”, “Whiny the Putang” and “Peeterless Pan” roaming the park, nagging people until they got a new Ipod, a Nintendo DS or one of those piece of shit?FurBerries. By the way, have you seen these friggin FurBerries? They are these demented little, hybrid stuffed animals. I’m telling you, they are straight off the?Island of Dr Moreau. Evil little creatures that fold up into a ball with a hard outer shell, like a fucking potato bug or something. But my kids want them, so it’s cool. Anyway…

A woman in Grand Forks, North Dakota who was accused of breast-feeding her 6-week-old baby while drunk has pleaded guilty to child neglect. Stacey Anvarini (26 years old), could face up to five years in prison when she’s sentenced on the felony charge in August.
Police officers responded to a domestic disturbance call at Anvarinia’s home on April 13, 2009 and found an intoxicated Anvarinia breast feeding her baby. Health officials say alcohol consumed by breastfeeding mothers can be absorbed into an infant’s system.
Judge Sonja Clapp says Anvarinia will not have to register as an offender against children. Attorneys say that this is the first case of drunken breast-feeding to be prosecuted in North Dakota.
