Desperate Working Mommas
Your one-stop site for fanatical television snarking, questionable political analysis, occasional attempts to address the parenting issues facing working mothers, and halfhearted promises to stop obsessing about the entertainment industry, already! Oh, not to mention the random bitching and moaning. There's always that.

How to Amuse Me and Horrify Me at the Exact Same Time

When your younger sister and I have to run to Target to find the perfect birthday present for her little friend's Almost Sleepover Birthday Party (a present which Birthday Girl's mother dictated MUST be a Bratz Doll but not any of the Bratz Rock Angelz series because Birthday Girl already has all of those, and probably not any of the Bratz Midnight Dance dolls, and no Mini Bratz--chintzy!-- oh, and definitely not any of those Bratz Babyz because they are creepy-- have you seen them?!-- and they give Birthday Girl nightmares. And absolutely NO boy Bratz. But any other Bratz doll should be fine.) and you are left to your own devices, and I begin to feel a bit guilty for leaving you behind, especially around lunchtime, and I call to ask if you want me to bring you something to eat, just go ahead and cheerfully inform me that I don't need to bring you a thing as you have already made yourself a super good lunch: Doritos, vanilla ice cream, and hot chocolate.

Further, as you have officially named December 27th "Marshmallow Day" and have licked and sticked to your face all the mini marshmallows left in the pantry before dancing wildly around the house to the music from Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events (which, incidentally, can still be heard blaring in the background), I may want to pick up another bag on the way home.

Her 'super good' lunch is exactly what I would consider one to be.

I LOVE marshmellows! I could just sit and eat a bag...big ones, little ones, the fruitie flavored ones, the Christmas shaped ones (or whatever holiday it may be), but just last week my husband informed me he HATES them. What is that about? How can you HATE marshmellows? I can understand not really caring for them, but flat out HATE?
