Friday I’m doing something fun as well. Joan and I are starting a club called The Grown-Ass Woman’s Club. Our mascot is Gert Boyle (One Tough Mother) from Columbia Wear. Your stepfather is making fun of us but I think he’s just petty and jealous. I finally told him to shut up. That’s what GAW do when they are confronted with negativity. One of our field trips is going to be on a Saturday and we’re going to find those Red Hat Ladies and shove them down. They’re ridiculous and need to be eliminated.

Oh this has to be the best mom on the board!
May 25, 2008 at 6:58 pm
I thought the same thing as the commenter before me. This mom rocks!!
May 25, 2008 at 7:22 pm
I *love* this mom. Will you share her?
May 25, 2008 at 7:30 pm
I want to be a member of the GAW club. Where do I sign up?
May 25, 2008 at 7:51 pm
I SO want to join her club. I’ve been looking for a reason to push some silly women in red hats around.
May 25, 2008 at 8:03 pm
Me! Me! I want to be a GAW member.
May 25, 2008 at 9:03 pm
Oh this is fantastic! I love my mom, but I want to adopt this one, too.
May 25, 2008 at 9:44 pm
This is awesome. Even my hubby laughed!
May 25, 2008 at 10:08 pm
OMG, I want to be friends with this mom!
May 26, 2008 at 12:44 am
Hilarious. My mum joined the red hat ladies for one lunch and said it was the dumbest thing she ever had to sit through. I have to think she would like GAW better.
May 26, 2008 at 9:21 am
I must say *I* am jealous too! She can tell me to shutup, but as a potential GAW member myself, I might just slap the silly out of her. Of course, we’d get along well after that.
I LOVE that mom. Can I trade?!
May 26, 2008 at 1:33 pm
How great is this! Completely got the visual of shoving down Red Hat ladies. Man, that would relieve stress for me too. Reminded me of Dustin Hoffman pushing over the mime at the end of “Tootsie.” Go GAWs.
May 26, 2008 at 1:41 pm
my only question is….. will you wear something special that will make you stand out? LIKE the Red Hats… i think you need some thng like this….
May 27, 2008 at 2:09 pm
hahaha this is the best! “They’re ridiculous and need to be eliminated.”
May 27, 2008 at 7:11 pm
Can I start the midwest chapter of GAW
May 27, 2008 at 11:31 pm
“They’re ridiculous and need to be eliminated.”
Love it… love that mom!
That is HYSTERICAL!!!!
May 28, 2008 at 8:00 pm
If I were a mom, that would be me.
May 28, 2008 at 10:15 pm
I love your Mom!!!
May 30, 2008 at 7:49 pm
I want to be adopted………..by this GAW!!! Let’s kick some purple/red butt…….
May 31, 2008 at 10:26 am
omg!! that is so my mom, only she would then crack open a beer with her fellow GAW members.
May 31, 2008 at 2:42 pm
i so LOVE this site! where do i sign up???
June 2, 2008 at 9:14 pm
I love how the field trip is solely to “shove down” the Red Hat ladies!
June 3, 2008 at 1:41 am
Gert Boyle? I feel left out of this one…

June 4, 2008 at 3:00 am
Brilliant. This one made me laugh hard. This mom is a real old school broad. You have to love that.
June 5, 2008 at 9:56 am
I love it. I have never been a club joiner– o.k. maybe Weight Watchers– but I really, really want to join this club. I’m sure I won’t have any problem sticking to its requirements.
June 11, 2008 at 12:26 pm
I’m planning a chapter of this club in my area! I laughed my nearly grown ass off with this sharing!
June 12, 2008 at 12:02 am
cheers to starting clubs w/ yr best friend at any age
… and to confronting negativity head-on!
June 12, 2008 at 1:33 pm
I thought about this post this morning when I was shopping and noticed that there was a convention of Red Hat Ladies in the City. My first thought was, “Where is GAW when you need some arse-kicking?”
June 14, 2008 at 1:53 pm
I love it!! GAW!! I want to join!! This could be bigger than all te old broads in purple and red!! LOL!! thanks for the “shiggles” (yep, my simpler version of shits and giggles!!)
July 16, 2008 at 11:19 am
They can’t be that “Grown” Ass if they’re still going on field trips. Maybe I’m not too young to join.
July 24, 2008 at 4:47 pm
Right on MOM Would l;ove to give the red hat ladies a push
August 30, 2008 at 7:53 pm
Beautiful! I am a GAW … I just didn’t know there was a club!
September 11, 2008 at 2:27 am
What on earth are “Red Hat Ladies”!?
October 3, 2008 at 12:01 pm
Old ladies acting silly.

My mom needs to join this club. She has alot of menopause angst inside her.
December 9, 2008 at 7:53 am
priceless. I want this mom to be my mom!
February 12, 2009 at 11:23 am
Oh please, please adopt me, most awesome mom!
