After my virtual “breakdown” Saturday night on here and on Twitter over Oscar, I decided to stay away from the internet as much as was possible so that I could get my thoughts [and emotions] together. Maybe breakdown is a tad bit extreme but my emotions were extremely raw and close to the surface. At that [...]

I know. I know! Some of you are tired of hearing about my cat. I know! He’s just a cat but dammit! He’s MY cat. I’m the one who saved him from a hurricane when we first moved to Florida when Tucker joined the Navy. Oscar was originally supposed to be named Zero [after the dog in Nightmare [...]

Ollie had his nine month appointment today. He’s 90th percentile for height and head circumference and 50th for weight. I know that I’m the only one who cares about that but I still felt the need to share. After the appointment, I took the kids to see Oscar at the vet’s office. The vet had told [...]

A couple of things happening today. #1 If you come over here one minute [hour] and the site looks like it does now and then you come back later and it looks different [and possibly broken] it’s because the proverbial shelf-life has expired on my site’s design and I need something different. Please disregard and carry [...]

Am I the only one who doesn’t trust the mirrors in dressing rooms? Call me paranoid but I blame a misspent youth and way too much 20/20. Every other weekend I was supposed to go with my dad for “his” weekend. More times than not, those weekends didn’t happen or were spent with my father’s extended family.When [...]

Here it is almost 9 o’clock and I haven’t packed a single thing. Actually, as I type this, some of Cara’s clothes and her Hello Kitty! towel are drying so that I don’t ruin her little two year old day tomorrow. We’re heading back to Arkansas for my mom’s family reunion so that means about five hours [...]

At every apartment complex that we’ve lived, we’ve had a pool. Though I love swimming, I’m not a big fan of the whole bathing suit thing and refuse to wear a t-shirt to cover up so I can count on two hands [maybe three...I have a spare] the number of times that I’ve actually used the [...]

This past week has been filled with phone calls back to Cara and Ollie’s pediatrician in Arkansas. For what seems like an eternity [but it's really only been about a month], they’ve both had ear infections and they both have been acting like the infections were back. The new pediatrician’s office here in Alabama refused to see [...]

I guess there are worse ways to be woken at six in the morning…but at the time that this video was taken, I would have preferred to have just stayed asleep. Image|milesdeelite

Like most people, there have been a couple of teachers who have really stuck out for me through the years. A couple were amazing. My first grade teacher is remembered based solely on the fact that she was my first grade teacher and her name had the word “barn” in it and I’ve always liked barnyard [...]

Did you ever have a boyfriend who you just kept coming back to no matter what they did or how much you didn’t want to come back? That’s how I feel about this site. OK. Maybe that’s not fair. I started this website as an extension of a message board journal. The journal was decently read and I [...]

Cara’s dentist appointment went famously yesterday. Of course, most of you probably had no clue that she had an appointment unless you follow me on Twitter. I’ve been sucked into the Anita Blake series by Laurell K. Hamilton and I’m on book 7 and just keep getting drug deeper into the whole thing. I’d like to blame [...]
