MOMoirs...

I found out about this fab contest from a posting on my friend Michelle's blog...so props to her.


From SMITH Magazine:


Six-Word MOMoirs! • CONTEST: Six words on being a mother or your relationship with your mom.


Whether you are a mother or just have one, everyone has a six-word mom story to tell—a "Six-Word MOMoir." SMITH Mag is teaming up with TruuMomConfessions and Postcards From Yo Momma for a six-word mom challenge. We'll choose our favorite six six-word stories about being a mother or your relationship with your own mom. Each winner will get a book of their choice from one of the above sites, or a T-shirt with his or her MOMoir on it from our partner, Spreadshirt.


My entry?  Just in case you were curious...


Karma kicking me in the ass.
