Typical Saturday Night

To give you all some insight on the typical Saturday night of this single Mommy, I have decided to chronicle it in a new posting... read on, this could get exciting!!!

5pm - Settle down my three year old with her new favorite movie.... Spice World.

          Throw clothes in dryer, start new load of laundry, fold and put away clothes

          Tickle torture three year old

          Paint daughters finger and toenails a disgusting shade of salmon

6pm - Decide to give in and watch iCarly with three year old.

          Do some dishes.

          Make mac n cheese for dinner.

7pm - Convince three year old that she is not allergic to mac n cheese.

           Hear from three year old again how she thinks that pumpkins are going to eat her if she sleeps.

           Remember that I have a blanket that needs to be dried, haul ass to the laundry.

           Wonder when the new episode of iCarly will be on, is it tonight, why do they make us wait.

           Inform three year old daughter that she is not a stripper.

           Wonder why three year old dances like a stripper.

           Wonder why I always lose arguments to my three year old.

           Decide my three year old is genius.

           Worry about how I am going to handle my nudist, pole dancing, argumentative three year old when she     

           turns 16.

8pm - Feel like a crappy mommy because I promised my three year old, and mother, and brother cupcakes.

          Haul ass into the kitchen to whip up a batch of Devils Food cupcakes.

          Decide to let three year old stay up late so that I have some company.

          Pry box of confectioners sugar out of hands of already crazy three year old.

          Sweep said sugar off of kitchen floor.

          Oh shit now I have to mop again.

          Remember drying blanket.

          Wonder how the cat got in the house.

          Feed cat.

          Decide to write about my typical, yes that's right I said typical Saturday night.

          Shit, cupcakes are ready!

So.... the only difference in this Saturday nights to others, is every other weekend I have my other two children  as well. Yes, then I have three little monsters running me ragged. I love them all to death! I don't mind it one bit!

Mostly, this blog is to set some people straight about what I do on Saturday nights, or any night for that matter.

Some people; many in fact believe I am a party girl, and that I party too much. I find this hilarious! I guess if you consider being covered in confectioners sugar and watching Spice Girls and iCarly a party, then hell yes, I spend a lot of time living it up!

Movie Review - Bonnie Style

Hey all of you out there soaking up my blog, here is something new. 

I am going to do a movie review for the movie The Town. This will not be your everyday type of review. Why you ask? Because it is coming from me.

The Town

Starring: Ben Affleck, John Hamm, Rebecca Hall, Blake Livley and a bunch of other people.

So this story is about four guys from Charlestown (where my mother is originally from) who are bank / armored truck robbers. They know what they are doing, partly because, Charlestown produces more bank robbers than any place else in the world! 

Well, at one such robbery, they take the branch manager hostage. Ben Affleck decides to stalk her, then fall in love with her. 

There is alot of action, and a TON on decent Bostonian accents throughout this film.

All in all a decent movie. 

Now, let me get to what I really want to talk about, that this movie set off in me. 

The way women from Massachusettts are portrayed in Hollywood.

They are for the most part portrayed as filthy, skanky, whores. They sleep in their makeup, never brush thier hair, and are uneducated and crude. Now, I understand that not all the women are portrayed like this, but take a look back at some films showing the lovely women of Massachusetts. 

Gone Baby Gone - Skanky uneducated whores, horrible mother.

The Departed - Need I say more

Fever Pitch - With the exclusion of Drew Barrymores who was not originally from Boston, all the ladies in this movie seem pretty skanky. Remember the ladies that sit near them at every game???

Mystic River - Watch it! Sean Penn is amazing, but again with the skanks!

The Crucible - Arthur Miller changed the story of the Salem witch trials around a bit... The main finger pointer Abigail Williams, is the original Massachusetts skank. No she doesn't wear makeup, but she has half the town killed for witchcraft just to get  her grubby little hands on a man old enough to be her father.

The Perfect Storm - They made Diane Lane skanky.... if you can wrap that around your pipe and smoke it.

The Pregnancy Pact - A made for TV movie about the girls of Gloucester who decided to all get knocked up at the same time in high school.

Is this a good enough example for you??? These are just ones I have seen. 

It is bad enough that New Englanders are tortured throughout life with this horrible dialect, but please Hollywood, please stop with the skanks!!!

My Nana Barbara is an amazing woman who has spent her life in Charlestown, and never once has she acted like a skank, or looked like one. My parents grew up in Massachusetts, not nasty skanks. I spent my childhood living in Mass, I don't feel I am skanky. My oldest daughter was born there, at five years old, she shows no signs of nasty. 

Maybe, next time I will write about how all people from New Hampshire are portrayed as backwoods hicks!!!!

New.... Untitled Book In The Works

I for the five billionth time since the age of ten, am attempting to write a book. 

This one (as so many other attempts on my part have been) is inspired by my favorite book of all time, Little Women by Louisa May Alcott.

I have started a new blog, to share what I write as I write it. 

I will need feedback, as, I am no writer, A fact which I am sure you all know already.
