Am I a Scary Mummy?

There's a blogger from across the pond who goes by the name of Scary Mommy. Between you and me I think she's a little pussycat, but shhhhh....don't tell her I said that.



Anyhoooo, she's running a competition to see if she can find the Scariest Mommy or (Mummy) out there.

So, never one to shy away from a challenge, especially one as fabulous as this, I have decided to throw down the gauntlet...

But, firstly, you may ask, what defines 'Scary'?

Well, Scary Mommy herself defines it as...

....a mother who doesn’t leave the house wearing lipstick at all times.

So, yep, that'll be me then. Don't actually own any lipstick. I know, I know. It always seems just a little 'too much'.

...a mother who loves her kids to death, but will admit to feeling totally overwhelmed and exhausted by the gig.

Hello??? My middle name is exhaustion.

...a mother who doesn’t really care what other people think.

If I cared, I'm sure I would never have told you about the grey pubic hairs.

...a mother who thinks that all mothers win when we admit our weaknesses.

Did I mention that weakness was my other middle name?

So, there you go. Having established, that yes, I am the Scariest of scary mothers, how do I go about winning this thing?

Well, I have to submit a post by today (nothing like leaving it a little on the late side - further evidence that I am indeed very Scary), proving that very thing - that I am SCARY with a capital 'S'.

Now regular readers of this blog will have already read this one (well I did only write it three weeks ago). If I say the word 'massage', does that ring any bells? If not, then read on.

So here goes. Is this Scary enough for you, Scary Mommy?

SCARIEST POST EVER

And apparently Scary Mommy will take into account, when choosing the winner, the comments left at the end of the post...so please lovely readers of my blog...am I not the Scariest of Scary Mummies???

  9. Maddie - Oh I know - I'm still sorry about that photo (I hope I didn't scar you for life) xxx

    RM - I'll only accept the award if you come with me...x

    Rosie - Thanks honey! And yes, I think half of British Mummies are very very scary (much more than their American counterparts). I think we should both win for that fact alone.

    ibhh - It's ok - I'm scary, but for you I'll be a pussycat ;-)) And yes, you are in time (I owe you one). Kisses lovely lady xxxx

    Liz - Yep, grey eyebrows are plucked out on a daily basis - I'm surprised I have any left! And as for lipstick, well I want to wear it, but it's just not me! A smidge of vaseline? Now you're talking! x

    Too chillingly close for comfort. I would have laughed but I think I am your 'friend'
