I used to be funny.

A few papers have run an article which links to my site. And WOOO HOOOO! The articles mention how I tell FUNNY stories about my kids!

Isn't this funny? That part below where I compare mothering to punching myself in the face? I'm a laugh riot lately!

Anyway, if you're here from the article I'm going to supply you with some links. Because even though I'm losing my mind and falling off the deep end lately, sometimes I can tell funny stories.

There's this one where I talk about mercilessly torturing my mother. I'm Pretty Sure Making Fun Of Your Mother Puts You In The Carpool Lane To Hell.

See, sometimes I'm less of a complaining, whiny spoiled brat who takes the Lord's name in vain and goes crazy instead of counting her blessings. Sometimes I'm funny!

How about a link to the newspaper articles? I'm sure the rest of your fans would like to read them too!

Nothing funnier than extreme, excruciating neurosis. I should know--since I lost my mind, my hits have more than doubled.

I too think you are always funny. One way or another you always brighten my day. :o)

Oh, Melissa! I sat up a few nights ago reading several of your entries and I think you are my long-lost twin sister. Well, my white, suburban, taller, thinner and prettier twin sister. So much of what you wrote about was like it came from my head. The crying during Oprah because you know the night is coming, along with the sleeplessness, it was exactly how I felt when my first child, also a girl, was born. I laughed, I cried, I was shocked at all our similarities; alcoholic father, dysfunctional family, I'm also 30, creative and handy husband... I could go on but I will stop gushing like a school-girl now.

I spent a year on Paxil and Wellbutrin shortly after my daughter was born. I've been on Effexor once since then. From one uber-funny depressed chic to another, hope you're feeling better soon. Just keep swimming...

I don't care if you swear like a truck driver while you count your blessings ("I am so fucking lucky to have a roof over my head.") Please just keep writing, please please please. You are getting linked because you are speaking raw, funny, difficult stuff that isn't the fluff/crap of women's magazines and websites.

Funny, hell, I think you might be Eddie Murphy just looking for a new career! I swear to you, as a pregnant woman, laughter is good for you in certain amounts but once I start puking from laughing so hard after reading your page...man, I have to quit for a day or so! Keep it up lady! I too try to see humor in life's most horrible affairs....have you visited my blog?
