Who knew that the couple who used to nap all day on Saturdays, started drinking around 7 so they could get a headstart on getting their drunk on to save money at the bar, then drove home the dirt roads because he was over the legal limit and she was wavering between unconscious and slurring "PullthafuckoverI'mgunnapuke" would ever become a blogging, college student momma with one kid in her Disney Princess nightgown draped over her legs while she writes The Next Great Blog Post, one kid in his Scooby Doo underwear leaned against her arm, and a daddy in the recliner with the third kid looking perilously close to teen-hood snuggled in close while they watch "Shredderman Rules" and munch popcorn?
I sure didn't.
I was born a semi-diva. I married a redneck. Through the magic of osmosis or just because of a serious lack of sophistication over the years I have found a balance of the two that make me who I am today. And then I write about it all, much to the chagrin of my mother.

That's got to be against some state law or other, right?
Sounds just perfect to me!
Both parts.
Hee Hee! Awwww...those were the days! Oh, wait...Steve and I still do that sort of thing on occasion. Last year, when we went to Puerto Rico, we started drinking at 10 in the morning, then sobered up and hit the liquor again later in the day. We really got drunk twice in one day.
