Please add your amendments and revolutionary fervor in the comments. Have a happy holiday everyone and VIVA la independence! Dear Chump Lady, In honor of what will be yet another difficult holiday […]
Happy Father’s Day!
Happy Dad’s day to all the chump men! Hope you’re out celebrating today and being celebrated. If you’re going through the infidelity and divorce crucible right now, and the Hallmark bonhomie of Intact Family Celebrations turns you off, please know it gets better. Like I tell all the moms on Mother’s Day, Father’s Day is […]
Tell Me How You’re Mighty Holiday Edition
Every so many months I do a “Tell Me How You’re Mighty” post, to check in on the general state of awesomeness around here. Awesome? I don’t feel awesome, Tracy. Isn’t this blog about overcoming crappy chump stuff and snarking about sociopaths? Yes it is! And mightiness. So at this holiday season, let’s think about […]
Holiday Sh*t Sandwiches

UBT Responds to Ex Dictating Where Kids Can Open Presents

Happy Thanksgiving!
Forgive my tardy post today. I was up early cooking the Thanksgiving meal and now I’m in a post-Turkey coma. Mr. CL did the shopping and left to his own devices, bought a non-organic premium steroid-injected nearly 30-lb monster turkey. A freak of turkey nature. Turkeyzilla. The thing took five hours to cook (and probably […]

When Mother’s Day Sucks
Dear Chump Lady, Exactly one year ago from Mother’s Day, I was opening gifts, receiving flowers, and left alone in the morning to catch up on some much needed sleep. The next day I woke up with so much gratitude, I said to my husband, “Thank you for a wonderful day, I am so grateful […]
The Promise Land of Meh
Hello from my parents’ house, where Mr. CL is prowling for “Real Coffee” and I’m hiding under a duvet looking for rerun fodder. Found this gem on Meh and what it looks like. Once upon a time, long, long ago, and not really that long ago, I spent Christmas Eve in this exact home under […]
