@thedaddycomplex and I went over to Buzzfeed. They fed us alcohol and made us do crafts for Mother's Day. YOU'LL NEVER GUESS WHAT HAPPENED NEXT... 27 THINGS THAT'LL BLOW YOUR MIND!

Read/Watch: Why Do We Even Celebrate Mother’s Day?

Mac and Cheese with a side of CTFD

My husband and I just had our first kinda sorta really big fight and it was over our toddlers diet. Seriously.

I’ll spare you the details because it could get ranty, but jeez man, marriage is hard. And parenting is hard. And doing them together can sometimes make it just as much harder as it sometimes makes it easier if that makes any sense.

I left my copy of Calm the Fuck Down on my husband’s computer desk opened to the chapter titled “My Pre-Schooler won’t try new foods.” because I think it would help him to read it. He really needs to CTFD when it comes to Billy’s diet.

I am still pretty mad, but I know we’ll get through this. I guess we were due for a blow up eventually. I think he might be sort of trying to make it up to me right now by finishing the dishes that I stormed away from and finally cleaning the stove top which I asked him to do for me a couple weeks ago...

What a lovely evening. thedaddycomplex is quite a guy. It was such a pleasure to finally meet him in person. All the selections he read were hilarious. I'm looking forward to diving in to the rest. Really really a stand up guy. I hope to encounter him again in the future.

Oh! And I forgot to mention...

I am foregoing BOTH exercise AND home work tomorrow night so I can go celebrate the release of "Calm the F*ck Down" with thedaddycomplex himself at Skylight Books! Just pinned down the babysitter this weekend. That was a close one. Looking forward to picking up my very own copy and basking in whatever it is that man emits in person. I'm sure it will be a splendid way to spend a Tuesday night :)

I'm so stoked to have won a ~signed~ copy of Calm the F*ck Down: the Only Parenting Technique You'll Ever Need in a contest sponsored by Knock Knock! I have been following David Vienna's blog, thedaddycomplex, for YEARS. Like, since before I had a kid...before I got married...before I even met my husband. Like, for as long as I can remember. Can't wait to have my laughter wake up my napping child while reading this! Thanks to everyone who made it possible!
