Today I have the hono(u)r of being the featured post at Scary Mommy, a parenting community for those of us that don’t always take parenting so…er….seriously. Jill Smokler, the creator, has done more than just create a blog for those “Please tell me I’m not alone” parenting moments, but has founded a whole community. A little anti-utopia for those that realize that being good enough, sometimes, is far more realistic that the extreme sport that parenting has become.
A Stupid Hill to Die On, my piece, is about the wisdom behind picking your battles, acknowledging there’s a good chance that somewhere down the line you’re going to realize it wasn’t the best battle to pick. A stupid hill to die on. In this particular case, it’s about my loathing of sweat pants in the classroom….
So go and check it out. It’s a great source for parents, especially for those moments when it’s important to realize you’re not alone out there….

“As ye reap, so shall ye sew”. Ok, I might have got that a little wrong. But Robert Smith hair? No way does sweat pants touch that. The Karma Police are going to make sure you make amends for that, I can assure you. Kudos for the Siouxsie reference, nonetheless. And congratulations on the recognition of your superior wordsmithing abilities. Well done! 🙂

Thank you! Nice Radio Head reference–alternatively, Karma Chameleon Police (2 for the price of 1??). My husband and I always say our children will revolt by joining the Young Republicans Club and wearing navy blazers. I draw the line at re-sewing on little gold buttons, however. And thank you–if I ever have business cards printed, I’m going with Supreme Wordsmith. It has a nice ring to it.
