There once was a time when blogging every day during the month of November filled me the kind of glee and anticipation that children begin to feel on Thanksgiving, when Santa floats down a wide Manhattan boulevard signaling the Christmas season.
Today, the idea of blogging every day during the month of November makes me feel like sticking a flaming hot poker up my own ass.
I will not be participating this year, if you didn’t get the hint in the prior sentence. I do, however, feel like this space is sorely neglected these days, what with the BIG BIG project taking off and my paid gig ramping up. I miss having time to craft essays about my darlings, and I also missing cursing.
Cursing, sadly, is frowned upon in professional writing circles. But not here! Watch:
Motherfuckerdonkeydicksucksassbitemeasskissmyassyoustinkycocksuckingbastard!
Heh. That felt good.
Instead of lashing myself with 30 days of dumb-ass posts like this one, this one or this one, I will instead make an effort to write something worth reading here at least three times a week. And I promise, no more of the I-slapped-up-a-photo-to-meet-my-ad-contract-obligations-hey-look-at-my-cute-kids posts. But they ARE cute, aren’t they? I mean, look at this one:
See? SO. FUCKING. CUTE.
I may be using writing prompts, because YOU try to come up with something creative and witty after spending three hours writing about things like “Weird Kid Sets Fire to Something” or “Naughty Grownup Does Some Whacked-Out Shit to Some Kids.”
To sum up: I’ll be writing more often, and I’ll be trying to meet a goal of three posts a week that aren’t photos, but if I can’t do it I’m not going to self-flagellate.
Now move along, nothing else to see here today.

HA! I love it. And I feel exactly the same way about life and general and my blogging efforts for the month (except that most of my swearing happens when my husband and I are talking about something we heard on the news, or when I’m driving without my kids in the car).
Kristin T. (@kt_writes)´s last blog ..Love deeply
lol you swore so much it went right off the page! lol
And ya he’s pretty darn cute!
j.
laughed out loud and the curse-string. Keep up the good work.
Grateful Twin Mom´s last blog ..And now I REALLY want to go home!
Love this!
I am participating in it this year, just because I need to get into the habit of planning out posts and getting into my bloggity groove. I have enjoyed it, but it is only day 4, talk to me at day 24…hell, even day 14.
Love the Photo of your babyman…I can’t believe how big he is.
P.S. if you are back this way come the holidaze I would so love to meet up for coffee again. xoxo
Heather from Domestic Extraordinaire´s last blog ..Wordless Wednesday-Happy Birthday to The Nephew Edition
Your awesome…love your curse word!
Stephaine @ Geezees´s last blog ..Wordless Wednesday … time for a trip to the dentist! LOL
You are so effing funny! (I bleeped myself out. Figured you’d done enough for all of us in this post.)
Kerrie´s last blog ..A Pinkin for My Punkin
You are hilarious, AND an inspiration.
Nan´s last blog ..And Now, For A Muppet News Flash….
Yeah, I’m not doing the NaBlowhatever thing either. Too much pressure. Oddly? I have posted every day in November. It won’t last.
And cursing? Should be allowed in professional writing. It’s often necessary.
JenK´s last blog ..Because someone asked and I have no shame…
I love this post. It made me laugh. (And I don’t even swear!) I kicked around trying the whole write every day in the month of Nov. thing, but decided against it. I thought it might be less fun than blogging randomly. Judging by your post, I made a good decision.
Oh – and that picture? You can just pose it three times a week and I’ll be happy. It is prize-winning, frame-worthy, gorgeousness! Holy Shit! Oh, that did feel good. Thanks.
Omaha Mama´s last blog ..Tonight
I love reading your blog. It’s nice to know I’m not the only mommy who swears like a sailor. Hahaha!! I love it!!
And yes, your kids are absolutley adorable!
I think my ovaries just exploded from the cute.
flutter´s last blog ..Commiserating with the ceiling fan
Excellent curse string. Also, excellent baby-making skills. He is too cute for words.
Heather´s last blog ..The Only Thing In My Son’s Lunchbox That He Didn’t Eat
Agreed! Some cussing is essential
More Strawberry´s last blog ..Wordless Wednesday: Cyndi Lauper, three years old.
So fucking cute. Also the picture of the little man with icing on his face . . . such a little boy!
Reading your blog, whenever you can update it is such a better way to spend my time than my mother fucking cock sucking job that doesn’t pays me shit and forces me to deal with crazy people who are disappointed that they have fucked up their lives and there is only so much I can do to clean up the fucked up miss.
Hoo boy, the cussing does feel good.
Lindsay´s last blog ..The Magic of Santa Clause
I loved the swearing, too. In fact, I was dreading the idea of going to therapy tomorrow, but my therapist lets me swear to my heart’s content on her couch so I will go and say bad words even if I don’t feel like talking about my sh#t.
cathy´s last blog ..evil spawn?
Ummmm – you said naughty words lol
Jonathan´s last blog ..Curiosity gets the better of me – Jupiter and it’s Moons…
you are too funny. i love reading your posts
alexandra´s last blog ..It’s that time again…
I am in exactly the same head space, and literally thought to myself this week – 3 times a week. I can give myself permission to only post 3 times a week.
Aimee Greeblemonkey´s last blog ..The Night I Fell On My Face For The Pioneer Woman (And Greeblemix Winners!)
We’re with you. Going to each post once a week, have hubbies do Wednesdays, and do the easier Talk-Back Tuesday and Five-Bite Friday. I did have this thought yesterday: When did I decide to become an independent news organization? Sure, I can write great posts occasionally, and I love our topics, but every day is just, well, probably the “never enough” approach that our book says is the wrong direction. Ahhh the irony. I would curse but it would mess up my brand:) Ha! -H
Hollee´s last blog ..TGI Five-Bite Friday
yes. yes.
YES.
I so get this, lady.
I would so much rather aim to bust out three (relatively) interesting and relevant posts than force my readers to read even more of my crap!
ali´s last blog ..Different Drummer.
OMG, the cuteness. I want to bite his cheeks..is that wrong?
