I’m messy

IamMMHi friends!  Don’t judge me, but I am messy.  I know, I know.  Disappointing.  You thought I was squeaky-clean, put together and that I live in a house where all toys are in their proper places at all times, right?  No?  You’d already guessed that I tend to fall on the messy side?  Oh.  Well, after tomorrow, you can rest more easily knowing that you are not alone if you leave the house with food on your shirt, grease in your hair and zits on your face.  That’s right.  In an effort to make you feel good about you because you are not indeed me, I’ll be on Messy Moms Radio sharing my messiness with whoever tunes in.  Maybe it’s time to sew up that hole in the sweats that I’m wearing again (yes I really am wearing them again and they really do have a hole rightfreakingthere and yes I go commando).

So Messy Mom’s Radio!  Check them out because I’m there and nominate somebody if you know of a messy mom!  And here is a link to the actual radio show if you want to hear about me being a disaster rather than just reading about it.

Happy Hump Day!

UPDATE:  I did in fact take a shower after posting this.  While I am sitting AGAIN in the SAME SWEATS (for real), I got dressed in grown-up clothes for a meeting at work.  I even wore mascara.  Sorry for the crap photo but it only occurred to me at last minute to prove that sometimes, I am actually functioning.  Mwah.  And yeah, that’s my dumbass self taking a photo of my own dumbass self in the mirror.  Ach.

  • Janine Huldie - Awesome about being on this radio program Kristy and am so right there with you being a messy mom. And totally ironic, but just was writing a post about this, lol!!April 3, 2013 – 2:01 pmReplyCancel

    • admin - Can’t wait to read it! AND (!!!) how in the world do you stay so on top of commenting everywhere? Dude, you are amazing.April 3, 2013 – 10:08 pmReplyCancel

  • The Sadder But Wiser Girl - Who wears underwear with sweatpants anyway? It totally defeats the purpose. You should start a whole “Women Go Commando” movement. I’d join in.April 3, 2013 – 2:05 pmReplyCancel

    • admin - No shit! Underwear with sweats? Sweats ARE underwear. Just acceptable to wear in public, right? Love the Women Go Commando movement. And you are awesome.April 3, 2013 – 10:09 pmReplyCancel

  • Kerri - You go girl, you messy girl! Congrats. It’s so nice to know that there is some one else there that knows where the dust bunnies are hidden!April 3, 2013 – 2:10 pmReplyCancel

    • admin - Kerri my friend. The dust bunnies don’t even need to hide, here. Well, sometimes. Like when my husband is home.April 3, 2013 – 10:11 pmReplyCancel

  • Rachel - Go, Kristi! Can’t wait to hear all about it tomorrow! You’re going to rock the house!April 3, 2013 – 2:46 pmReplyCancel

    • admin - Hahah I hope so! If not, you can make fun of me later. So either way, it’s good stuff, right?April 3, 2013 – 10:13 pmReplyCancel

  • Joy - Will listen to it tomorrow. I feel so understood because I am ashamed to admit that I am quite messy, too. And wow, you are juggling many balls at the moment: being a published author, being on the radio…. Yay you! xoxoApril 3, 2013 – 2:58 pmReplyCancel

    • admin - Love! Don’t be ashamed. We are ALL moms. Therefore messy. That’s what this show IS.April 3, 2013 – 10:17 pmReplyCancel

  • Emily - So cool about the radio show — congrats!! I am more of a “closet” messy mom. Literally. All of my closets, drawers, etc. are frightening. Every summer I say I’m going to organize and clean them out, but let’s just say I’m one step away from being a hoarder. Actually, my kitchen is quite a disaster now too. Maybe I’ll be on “America’s Top Hoarders” soon. 🙂April 3, 2013 – 4:15 pmReplyCancel

    • admin - Emily,
      Here’s the thing. I can go to work and look normal. Good, even, if you ignore my wrinkles and backfat. But at home? I trend toward messy…sad…
      and if you ARE ever on Hoarders? I will so tune in and give you good ratings. I’ve never watched. I know. Gasp. True.April 3, 2013 – 10:18 pmReplyCancel

  • Kenya G. Johnson - Lol! I clicked over wanting to know where in the world you were wearing those sweatpants. Nevermind the greasy hair and stains. When I read the blog title I said, “Duh!”

    Congrats to your radio feature 😉April 3, 2013 – 4:38 pmReplyCancel

    • admin - Thanks for the DUH. Not sure that’s a compliment. And so far, luckily, only at home (really. and you believe that. right???? OMG I am gross.)April 3, 2013 – 10:20 pmReplyCancel

      • Kenya G. Johnson - Didn’t mean duh like that. 😉 I read the blog title and by “on the radio” I thought you meant “on the blog”. Even though it all the same words I think sometimes things are lost in translation when you read from the iPhone. Without your glasses.April 4, 2013 – 10:02 amReplyCancel

        • admin - Haha I know – it’s obvious I’m messy and that’s okay by me. And yeah, Messy Moms has a radio show as well. They interview the people they feature each week. This week, I was lucky because it was me.
          And I don’t even have the excuse of needing glasses when losing things in translation. I just do anyway.April 4, 2013 – 11:09 amReplyCancel

          • Kenya G. Johnson - I use my glasses as an excuse. It makes me sound smart.April 4, 2013 – 12:03 pm

          • admin - Cracking me up. Although, the image of you in glasses DID make you sound even smarter!April 4, 2013 – 5:27 pm

  • Daughter of Maat - The irony in this. I’m sitting here reading this, nodding my head, because for the past 3 days I’ve been cleaning my house for an inspection, and I’ve had the same clothes on for 3 days, and my ponytail is… well… disgusting. I haven’t shaved in 3 days and I can’t stand that feeling. But why take a shower when I’m just going to get all gross again tomorrow right? I’ll take a scalding hot shower when I’m done, sterilize the sheets, throw out my current attire lol.

    On the brighter side my house will be UBER clean!!April 3, 2013 – 4:48 pmReplyCancel

    • admin - YAY for your house being UBER clean (side note why does uber not show up as a real word yet ugh)!! YAY. And yeah, I have actually found that it saves me a few minutes each day to skip the shower whenever it’s an option. I’m not kidding. 😀April 3, 2013 – 10:22 pmReplyCancel

  • Julie DeNeen - I’m a messy mom too. I’m lucky if I get dressed and find clean underwear.April 3, 2013 – 4:56 pmReplyCancel

    • admin - ThankGod I’m not alone…April 3, 2013 – 10:26 pmReplyCancel

  • Stephanie @ Mommy, for real. - Oh, I think you are *gorgeous*. You know I mean that, too. Also, what’s up with this radio show??? I had no idea! Can’t wait to listen to it! I got your book today- can’t wait to “talk” to you about it! xoxoApril 3, 2013 – 10:21 pmReplyCancel

    • admin - I’m not sure about the radio show. I think that I probably had more listeners when I was an actual co-host of ANOTHER radio show but I’m not sure…anyway…so glad you got “my” book that is so not mine but well. Lots or whatever.April 3, 2013 – 10:42 pmReplyCancel

  • Rich Rumple - When I took my year off of work, I began a love affair that my wife grew to understand and accept … sweats really are the most comfortable outerwear made! No, I never had the hole(s), and yes, I did wear underwear. Perhaps it’s a guy thing. Perhaps, it’s just more than needed to be said. And yes, I’m currently in my sweats as they’ve still become my evening wear of choice. Now all I have to do is figure out how to go to work in them and I’ll be in Heaven! Congrats on the radio gig. I was a broadcaster for years and never grew tired of seeing the surprised look on people’s faces when they heard their voices for the first time. Good Luck!April 4, 2013 – 1:57 amReplyCancel

    • admin - Rich,
      Sweats are awesome. That’s all there is to it. I’d wear them to work too, if I could get away with it. Having a “light” day? Just tie the string tighter. Eat too much at lunch? Elastic waist! ‘Nuf said.
      Hey I bet you were the coolest broadcaster ever!! I used to co-host a weekly show – it was such fun. Although I sort of hate my voice. Oh well.April 4, 2013 – 8:19 amReplyCancel

  • Alana Terry - I used to be so covered in regurgitated G-tube juices that my husband would come home and complain about how nasty my shirt was. Our toddler picked up on it, thought it was a compliment, and hugged me one day while emphatically proclaiming, “Honey, you’re gross!” 🙂 Love from one messy mom to another!April 4, 2013 – 2:05 amReplyCancel

    • admin - haha to your toddler hugging you and saying “Honey, you’re gross!” Love it. 😀April 4, 2013 – 8:20 amReplyCancel

      • Joy - Alana, this is hilarious!!April 4, 2013 – 8:33 amReplyCancel

  • Joy - Just listening to you!!! xoxoxoApril 4, 2013 – 10:57 amReplyCancel

    • admin - Yay! It was fun. Thanks so much for tuning in!! 😀April 4, 2013 – 11:09 amReplyCancel

      • Joy - It was more or less accidentally. I did not know the time when it would be aired so I tuned in several times today and the last time I did I saw that the show was on and that there were only four minutes left, so I thought I could just as well listen to the rest and then, all of a sudden, there you were! 🙂April 4, 2013 – 2:12 pmReplyCancel

        • admin - Oh wow, how cool. I’m an idiot for not posting what time it’d be on. Duh. There’s an archive to the whole hour if you’re bored!April 4, 2013 – 5:29 pmReplyCancel

  • Dawn Beronilla - Hi again!
    1. You are super hot.
    2. I’m happy to hear that I’m not the only messy Mama!!
    3. Hooray for doing a radio show! That sounds like great fun!April 4, 2013 – 1:29 pmReplyCancel

    • admin - Hi!
      1. Bwahhahahah
      2. I really am a mess sometimes.
      3. The radio show was fun. I can nominate more than one person – let me know if you want to be nominated!!April 4, 2013 – 5:28 pmReplyCancel

  • Aubree - Okay. I don’t need to know another thing about you. You wear holey sweatpants, I also wear holey sweatpants (and I ain’t talkin the kind that have been blessed by the pope). You loathe showers, I loathe showers. In fact, I have devoted much of my life trying to reconfigure human DNA so that we can just shed our skin for new skin every night while we sleep. And you string words together nicely. I’ll be back to give you a follow. I am in my phone and it doesn’t let me follow. I’ll actually be surprised if this comment posts.

    Nice to meet you, neighbor. I’ll be back by. Write on!April 4, 2013 – 3:58 pmReplyCancel

    • admin - Hey Aubree, maybe our holey sweatpants ARE holy. Like motherhood blessed them? Okay maybe not. Maybe we’re just messy and prefer ugly sweats. Please let me know when you figure out how to reconfigure human DNA, because getting new skin every night sounds perfect. Plus, I could shed some wrinkles and freckles in the process!
      And the comment posted.
      Nice to meet you too 🙂April 4, 2013 – 5:31 pmReplyCancel

  • Jean Heff - YAY! Congratulations on the radio show! I’m messy too. I try to conceal it when I go to work but occasionally I make it through the day and then realize I have some sort of crust on myself…today it was teething biscuit crust on my neck 🙁April 4, 2013 – 6:26 pmReplyCancel

  • Jen - You were awesome, as you know because I was facebooking you the whole time. AND ha! At least you get dressed up to go to work. Since I have to work in a dungeon I don’t even bother. Still the un-showered ponytail yoga pant wearing chick I am at home. Except I put deodorant on. Anyway YOU ROCKED THE AIRWAVES! I knew you would 🙂April 5, 2013 – 5:40 pmReplyCancel

  • More Than Mommies - While I loved the post . . . I have to say I got the biggest laugh from your comment, “Sweats are underwear!” 🙂

    Thanks for linking up to the More Than Mommies Mixer this weekend and I’m sorry that I missed the radio show – sounds like a blast!

    I’m so glad that I’m in good company NOT being perfect and occasionally having unidentifiable “goop” somewhere on my clothes. 🙂April 5, 2013 – 6:30 pmReplyCancel
