I want to thank my girl Amanda of http://mandablogsabout.blogspot.com/ for honoring me with this award. She is hardcore and I truly admire her courage to let it all hang out.
Here are the rules for receiving the award:
1) Present this award to 7 others whose blogs you find brilliant in content and/or design, or those who have encouraged you.
2) Tell those 7 people they've been awarded the HONEST SCRAP AWARD and inform them of these guidelines in receiving the award.
3) Share "10 Honest Things" about yourself.
Here are "10 Honest Things" about myself,Crazy Mum
1. Were it not for my children I would be an alcoholic mess. They are truly the reason I have drive, ambition, goals & hope.
2. I have anxiety, panic attacks, OCD & depression. Without Xanax I cannot function. So when I joke about mental illness I am not being a bitch-I earned the right to poke fun-it keeps me "sane".
3. I am not quite as confident as I seem. Close though.
4. I never exercise. I mean never. Ever.
5. I love sex. If I did not have children I'd probably be a tramp too. All kidding aside I have a partner that satisfies me to the fullest. I do miss the girl on girl action of my twenties however.
6. I spend way more money than I make. I can rationalize anything.
7. I lost my father when I was 28. It makes me strong yet angry & bitter as well.
He was sick for 12 years before that so we really lost "him" when I was 16.
8. I am legally blind without my glasses or contacts.
9. I miss being a SAHM and a student. I hate time away from my little ones. I hate to miss milestones. I hate not being the one to take him to Toddler's Tango & storytime. I hate that I can't pick her up from school.
10. I spend most weekends in yoga pants & flip flops.
So then, here are my seven choices to pass the award on to. I think that each of these individuals kick ass & keep it real:
Jenn of http://www.princessjenn.com/
Jill of http://www.scarymommy.com/
Miss Grace & Danielle-Lee of http://www.boobemancipation.com/
Tania of http://chickychickybaby.blogspot.com/
My girl Khira of~http://tiltherewasu.blogspot.com/
Gal of http://growinginside.blogspot.com/
Mrs. Call Me Crazy of http://www.lifescrazyjoke.com/
Are you the perfect mom? Is your house something out of Better Homes & Gardens? Do you make floral arrangements? Do you avoid swearing, yelling & s-e-x? Then this blog is NOT for you. If you are doing the best you can with what you have and can embrace your imperfections and share them with other moms-then this is the blog for you. As a mom of three, I have a lot to say. You may not agree with all of it but I assure you it will be entertaining and provocative.

Awww, thank you so much! I spend every damn day in yoga pants and flip flops. Yet, I have never once done actual yoga in them. :)

I'm with ya on #1. If it weren't for little dude, I'd be drinking WAY more. *sigh*
Congrats on your award... Keep up the good work~!~!~!
I should totally call them lazy-ass pants-not yoga pants
Thanks very much! Especially since I haven't written anything of any substance lately. ;)
I think I used to be a tramp. But the kids took me out of Trampville and put me in Insanityville.
Thank you! And I love you!
Your honesty is refreshing.
