As summer 2020 wraps up, it seems we’re still no closer to getting our shit together, and I mean that collectively, as in the human race as a whole.
Still balls-deep in a pandemic and trying our best to get used to unprecedented times, we are barely managing to scoot our tired, haggard asses along the never ending carpet we call life, with very mixed results.
Although we’d hoped that things would be back to normal, look at us laying on the doorstep of the next school year, just hoping to wake up from this godawful nightmare.
Not to mention the state of the world (politically and otherwise) which honestly makes this whole madness we’re in seem sane by comparison. The phrase “I literally can’t even” has been stolen from basic bitches only to become the morning mantra of all of us everywhere. Yikes.
At least we have jokes.
The beauty of raising kids is that no matter what is happening in the world, you’ll still be loaded with plenty of laugh fodder as your kids are experts at driving you crazy even though they lack the skill to wipe their own asses.
Hey, we laugh so we won’t cry, amirite?

7. Check out my new book, it’s called “getting shit done with cookies and threats”.

At least parenting can keep us distracted from the shitshow unfolding all around us.
Bless the children for keeping us too damn busy to give up entirely.
Make sure and share this shit with your frazzled friends, because it’s 2020 and we could all use a laugh!
