The day started out pretty crappy. I woke up late and with a headache (no, not a hangover - a headache), Prince #1 missed the bus because he couldn't find his shoes which made everyone else late. Then as I was reaching for something, my tit was impaled by a snapping underwire in my favorite $60 bra. To top it off, I found that I lost a whopping .4 pounds this week at weigh-in. My daughter's empty sippy cup weighs more than that!
And then I saw that my review was in.....
What review?
Well, because I seem to have some seriously masochistic tendencies (but not in bed - sorry Brad!), I submitted my blog for review at "Ask and Ye Shall Receive" (click on it to read the review). This is not a "let's all hold hands and sing to the Glory that is MommyBlogs" place. Any site with the words "I will fucking tear you apart" in their address is bound to be slightly critical. I fully expected them to tear me a new asshole. Instead, I found that I still have the old one (although it would have been nice if they could have removed a pound or two from it) and my first award from some very critical motherfuckers
The second-best award that they give. I've been wondering who I had to screw to get an award and I didn't even have to fuck any of them! Bonus!
They recommended a few changes that I agree needed to be made: specifically cleaning up the sidebar (which I did) and reverting back to the old banner. Daisy - I love the one you made for me, but after a day or two, I do think that I prefer the "cleaner look" of the old one. Please don't take it personally, but even Brad said that he liked the more simple banner.
I just can't believe that they didn't rip in to me for....my.....overuse....of....ellipses.....I...thought....that.....one....was....a.....sure...thing!

Whoot Whoot!
Mr Lady
I am WAY too chicken shit to hit that site.
Daisy
No offense taken. I made it in February when you were going on and on about wanting the words ON your banner. I always thought it looked just fine the way it is - your blog - you're the boss. You're going to have to try harder if you want to piss me off. Perhaps something a little pompous and self-righteous... Pardon me if I say so - but I don't think you have it in you! 😉
And Yay you! Nice award!!! Justly deserved!!! 😀

That's is hilarious. I can't believe you turned your blog over to them *shudder* (they'd rip me a new one) and then they LOVED you!
Oh the irony.

Way to go! You are far braver than I am.

Congratulations, Mindi! Your sidebar is looking good.

You are a brave brave girl!! I'm sure they'd rip me a new one. No thanks. I'm happy with the old one.
Congrats on the award, you deserve it!
Say What?
You rock! I love your site, it makes me feel like I am not alone at dealing with all the psycho moms/convenience store workers/fellow "Mart" shoppers out there!
congratulations!!
Mindi
Thanks everyone!
Oh - and they may be brutally honest with people...but so far they seem to be a NICE bunch of rude fuckers! 😉

Thank you, thank you and congratulations. I already know I will spend hundreds of joy-filled hours visiting this snarky website. It's so much fun! I've already submitted . . .
