There once were two sisters who lived in a small town near Boston (more like Cape Cod, but I’m not sure if our new readers in Zimbabwe know where “the Cape” is).
One day, these sisters decided to write a facetious article about how badly they suck at Pinterest crafts, back-to-school preparedness, the art of getting your shit together and basically all things Motherhood. The post was meant to be totally inspiring self-deprecating, deadly serious not at all serious and poignant completely unmoving.
They published said post and were all <shrug,> “No big deal. We have published eleventy billion posts and we’ve only had like 1000 views total and 999 of them were mom.”
After a few short hours, the blog post approached 65,000 views and Sister 1 called Sister 2:
Sister 1: “Oh my effing God. I think we just went viral.”
Sister 2: “Awesome. No, wait. Gross. What the fuck does that mean? Talk to me like I’m in Kindergarten. Is that like HPV for computers?”
Sister 1: “We have like a bazilly hits and comments on our blog And I don’t think they’re all mom this time.”
Sister 2: <Screams and runs into a wall.>
Sister 1: “How do you tweet? I feel like we should be tweeting.”
Sister 2: “What’s twatting? You’re seriously asking me this question? I have no idea.”
Sister 1: “We suck at this.”
Sister 2: “We sure do. Let’s drink wine and Google it. How do you Google something?”
Sister 1: “Helpful. You realize that one of us needs to make a sex tape now, right?”
Sister 2: “I vote you.”
And for the next week, they learned how to twat and they watched the blog reach 1 million views and receive 600 plus comments, including ones like:
Sandy from De Moines, Iowa: “I love you! Be my best friends. Let’s make out. Hold me.”
Bitchin Sisters: “We love you too, Sandy!”
And then Angryman from Nowhereville jumped out of his ivory tower, wearing a parachute made of his children’s hair and was all: “You suck. So does your blog. I hate your face. And now, I shall douse you with gasoline.”
Bitchin Sisters: “Neat. Excuse us while we back a car over ourselves, Dude who takes himself way too seriously.”
And so on and so forth.
And then People I want to Punch in the Face posted our article and so did the Huffington Post Canada. And we were all:
But really more like:
And then HuffPost New York got in touch and asked us to write something and Sister 1 swallowed her tongue, passed out and peed her pants while Sister 2 looked on concerned and confused.
So while we continue to come up with several other ways to make you laugh until you pee (or ruin the lives of mothers and children everywhere according to some (three) readers), please accept our thanks for being awesome.
Until then,
The Bitchin Sisters

Your post about back to school and pinterest has gone around my kid’s entire school. Even the few moms who are those crazy crafty pinterest bitches thought it was funny 🙂
Congrats!!!

Enjoy your newfound fame! Loved your post, even went back and read old (also funny) ones. 😀
Congrats!! You can’t make everyone happy!!
I love you!!!!
You guys are awesome. Have a glass of vino on me!!
Fuck the nay-sayers. They don’t really have children and probably still live with their parents. Your blog is hilarious.
Love. Love. Love!
BFF ‘s
You two are the best and you always make me laugh. I am so glad I know you ❤
You tweet?! I still haven’t figured that crap out. I don’t get all the hash tags. Love this blog though. Found it when a friend shared your “back to school” post on Facebook.
I love moms who do not take themselves too seriously and do not throw up all over themselves about how awesome they and their children are! You make my week with every hilarious post!!!!!
Thanks for allowing me to pee in my pants NOT from sneezing! Your blog is hysterical and will for sure help me take myself less seriously.
PS the house next door is going on the market. Please buy it and be my neighbor. My wine tower is always full.
Laughing, laughing, laughing. You girls are sooooo fun. Can you come live in my neighborhood? Then I don’t have to drive after wine. I can just stagger home.
Y’all are fabulous! Keep up the laughs!
I laughed until I cried! Thanks for the comic relief 🙂
I’m surrounded by “crafty bitches” who live on Pinterest but have never figured out how/when/where they get the time or motivation. I have lived with inadequate Pinterest mom guilt for some time so was so glad to find your blog and read about other moms who are keepin’ it real! Thank you!
Too funny – thunder jacket. My mother puts one of those things on her dog and we call it the thunder down under jacket. Congratulations on your success! Looking forward to reading more.
You make my thighs cry in a peeing my pants kinda way. Keep up the good work. After raising 5 kids, I so effing get it.
I love you guys!!!
I love you. Really. And not in a creepy way, you know, I’m not spying on you through your kitchen windows or anything. But I love you.
Your pinterest post was the best thing I’ve read in a long time. I was laughing my ass off. Ive got you bookmarked now! I want to be best friends too.
If I was going to peel myself off the sofa to have drinks with a blogger, you guys would be my first (and frankly only) choice. I’ve forwarded your blog to all my favorite moms. Thanks for the excellent laugh!
I posted to share your blog…Sorry, still recovering from opening day of Oktoberfest…Munchen…I even shared w/ my wonderful friend that crashed Pinterest last week. Trust me, she’ll LOVE you! My only regret is that I didn’t discover you 3 years ago, when we arrived overseas…good news…headed stateside soon(we hope), so I will have ample opportunity to … I dunno…I have to get up @ 6:00am to feed my kids & send them to school 😀
If you girls are always this funny then I have no idea how it took you so long to be “discovered”. I shared that Pinterest post to everyone I knew…if people cannot take a joke (a joke based in reality) then too bad!! Post on and PLEASE know that you made me laugh hysterically on a REALLY SUCKY DAY with your lice post this morning! Hilarious and eerily on target (just wish I had something like that to read 10 years ago when my 5 year old (and I) had lice for weeks on end. I did get the alcohol part right (my poison of choice was an entire baseball bat of beer we got as a gag gift that Christmas).
Keep ’em coming!!
Fuck YEAH!!!! I so needed this today 🙂 And tomorrow, I’m sure. Happy to have found you!
You bitches still crack my shit up, but my name is People I Want to Punch in the THROAT. Sheesh. Can’t wait to read what else you’ve got.
