In 2015, it was once suggested I start a blog because as a friend put it, “funny always finds me.”
‘A blog?’ I thought. ‘Do people still do that? What is this? 2003?’
But eventually I tried it and never looked back.
About Hot Mess
I’m a 40 something and really can’t accept aging. I’d botox the shit out of my face if I had the means. I also can’t accept that I have a 13 year old and a 10 year old. The teenager is driving me to drink….more. Even my breathing is stupid to him. Oh well, at least the youngest still loves me.
Mr. Hot Mess is a brave soul, putting up with my shenanigans. Deep down, I think he likes it. Would he rather have a hot, sexy wife or a hilarious one that loves pranking…..eh…don’t answer that. Ignorance is bliss.
As you can see, I never take myself seriously.
I work full-time. I’m considered a soccer mom, though a reluctant one. I’ve been known to call their soccer uniforms, costumes for God’s sake! But know this, Hell will freeze over before I drive a minivan or make Pinterest inspired treats out of twizzlers and Capri Suns.
So why hot mess? Honestly I think it’s because I embrace imperfections and I want others to accept theirs.
You’ve found home if you have an inappropriate sense of humor, don’t take things personally and love to laugh! I might even throw in a few tips along the way!
XOXO,
Hot Mess
P.S. If you love my blog, you’ll love my podcast. Find it on Itunes or Podbean!
I LOVE your blog and wrote this about your guest post with Blair.
That was so funny! I have an alternative t-shirt. She could have one in green with Mullingar Heifer on it. Her colleagues will think she is really into livestock and not get that it is an Irish snarky phrase “Jesus, Mary and Joseph, she has legs like a Mullingar Heifer”. Stocky but has nice ankles. 🙂
First let me say thank you! I am so grateful that people enjoyed my story. It gives me a little shred of hope this current train wreck isn’t for nothing. Now, I have to know, where in God’s name do I get this shirt? You are right….so perfect! Do I need to raise funds to fly to Ireland for it? 🙂
Any immigrant with a t-shirt shop should do…:)
No you didn’t…..hilarious!!!! I will search immediately for this gem.
You can thank thechattyrachel for bringing me to your blog! 🙂
I have just nominated you for an Epically Awesome Award. Feel free to ignore it or join in the fun! https://chattykerry.wordpress.com/2016/01/30/epically-awesome-thats-me/
With thanks to Chatty Kerry for leading me to your blog … I am SO glad to have found you! I shall follow and then find more to read as I go along. Small brain, tiny attention span but I find my way 🙂
Ha!!! That is awesome! Thank you for following. I love telling my stories and/or putting my perspective on things. I’m quickly finding I’m not the only hot mess in the world nor the only person that has dealt with some of my situations. Have a great Saturday Osyth!
Next time a repressed old cowboy aims his disapproval at you like a pitchfork, say, “Fuck, no, I’m never racy. Crotchless panties are just healthier in the summertime. You know, breathable.”
You were going to tear up the card anyway.
Sigh…very true….He is probably flogging himself as we speak after reading all of this.
In the most delightful way.
Was that from Mr. Roberts? I can’t remember.

Hey, I love your blog and wanted to let you know I nominated you for a Liebster Award! You don’t have to participate, but if you’re interested, the rules are on my most recent post: https://justinqueso.wordpress.com/2016/04/07/liebster-award-2/
I was waiting in the Walmart check out line, when I glanced over at the candy bar display. I saw this https://arlenedavidsully.files.wordpress.com/2017/04/snickers-hot-mes.jpg
and immedaitly thought of you so I took the photo. 😀
OMG….I just now saw this. This is AMAZING! I need one! Thank you for sending. I’m so sorry I am late responding. I guess I don’t get notifications when people comment on my pages??
Love it. I have a blog of a serious nature and I have often wished I could show my fun side more. So…….I started my new blog a few days ago that’s just for fun. I was planning on keeping it anonymous but then I thought, (with the help of my buddies) “Feck it! This is me and who I am. I can run my serious blog and the readers of that blog don’t have to engage in other blog.” Yes, I understand your reasons for being anonymous. I was the same. Which is why all my stories will have fake names. My true events will be twisted and exaggerated just a bit ?
Happy to have found you ??
Over from the FB group BUYB.
My first thought was, well, if sis lives in FL, of COURSE she has numerous mug shots! Florida people seem to use then like others use dating apps.
