big honkin' SUV that's WAY too big for her 2-parent/1.8-kid family
too much make-up for being on a frickin' soccer field
hair too done-up for being on a frickin' soccer field
kids way overscheduled
lots of dinners out

Is that YOU? You don't have a bad hair cut and I can't tell if you are wearing mom jeans, but dayum! Nice sculpted arms there.

Mom who carts her kids to every god forsaken sporting event with a smile on her face when inside she is asking herself "why do I let myself get into these types of things over and over and over?"

[SisterTaffy]

I wish I had her arms! No, not me.

But she represents the soccer moms here in Stepford hell. :D

I forgot to add:

*works out at the gym and does "Power Pump" class
*Meets other soccer moms at Starbucks when the kids are in school. She will be the one ordering the "venti non fat caramel macchiato with extra foam."

Arkansas Soccer Moms are:

1) driving an SUV... a good one drives an H3. They have one child and are afraid of anything "off road". Also sits in the parking lot with said vehicle running for the 30 minutes they are parked there awaiting the school bell release.
2) Clothes like they were still in high school. They are "cool" yanno...
3) Although their kids are enrolled in every activity known to mankind, they freak the instant their kid gets dirty or hurt (by accident). Said kid must be perfect manicured at all times as well.
4) They are in debt up to their eyeballs to keep up with the soccermom competition.

Um, me. :P

But not to the extreme you guys are saying. But we do activities and I try to keep the kids somewhat busy. I know exactly who you are talking about though, they're the same as the "cub scout dads" - all about the appearances, achieving through their kids, judging others, talking about the most boring of topics (investments, sports, golf games, shopping, home decoration). But hey - there are worse parents. Like crack whores and whatnot. I'll take a soccermom over a crack whore mom any day - and I've known both.

I actually think Suburban now instead of minivan. Huge gas guzzling suburban. But you pretty much hit the nail on the head.

Don't forget the big ol soccer ball magnet on the back of the honkin' SUV.




**Now I have a big ol softball magnet along with my child made the honor roll bumper sticker on the back of my mini van.....OBVIOUSLY, I am NOT a soccer mom! ;)

LOL!!
I think mini-van and overscheduled children who do not take any time for themselves - its all about the kids.

(Some of us have to have a minivan, since nothing else will fit a family of 6 except the Big Honking SUVs. I'm just sayin'... ;) )

This is how it works in Mississippi, too.
