A week ago, Joseph’s school sent a letter home reminding parents of Staff Appreciation Week. While I do appreciate his teacher and the staff at his school, I didn’t actually receive this letter from my ex until today. Three days prior to the event. Three days during which I’m also throwing Joseph’s sixth birthday party and [...]
If you are a nice girl, chances are you are overlooked. You are quiet, normal–you like to exist as part of the scenery of high school. You have friends, you enjoy activities, but at the same time you are just a little bit miserable… because that is what the teen years are all about: being [...]
I’m a giver. Always have been. I feel if you’ve done something that has baptized you by the fire, then you owe it to others to keep them out of that frying pan. My two oldest children are teens, and I have learned through the iron fist of experience that some Google search terms need [...]
If I knew then what I know now I would have had more fun Showed the others how My smile brought the sun.
My parents never told me to live in the now. They taught me loads of valuable lessons in life but this is not one they knew themselves. It’s one of those things that seems as if it should be second nature, like breathing. It’s not.
I managed to make it to class today wearing an oh so stylish combination of sweatpants, snow boots, and several layers of t-shirts and hoodies.

Is there a girl you just can’t stand? Maybe you’re not sure why, but she’s your foil – the girl you were born to hate. But where did this hatred come from?
In order to keep things moving in scheduled and orderly fashion, we writers here at Miss Unlimited have rigid deadlines to meet. We know when we have work due at least two weeks in advance. Take this post, for instance – I’ve known for a whole month when this post is due, yet here I [...]
Are there times when it feels like your kids are being too nosy? My stepdaughters have a penchant for this, and I’ll confess that it annoys me. I think this is because their questions seem loaded with that insinuation of, You have something better/more fun/tastier than I, and I should like to have it too, [...]
Anecdotal evidence, supported by a spike in EPT sales in the early 90’s, suggest I have difficulty saying no. I blame being born with a vagina, or rather, without balls.
