September 2007

We’re not really a vacation kind of family. I’m sure well will be once Cara gets older, but up until around this time last year, it was just Tucker and me. Our lazy asses preferred to sit on the couch and save the cash that we would have spent on a trip. All that being [...]

I’ve never considered myself “abused”. I always had a bed to sleep in, clothes on my back and food in my stomach. I can count on one hand the number of times that I was spanked. But, the more I thought about it, the more long forgotten memories came flooding back. Hours spent alone in [...]

I got this email yesterday and I just had to pass it on.

There is some major breastfeeding drama afoot. Applebee’s stepped in it here and the incident has spawned video reactions, blog entries and general bad press. Then, Facebook banned a picture of a mother breastfeeding because it was “obscene“. That action has also caused an uproar and even the creation of a website calling for people [...]

I’m going to have to bust out my Ferber book. Cara was up at least three times last night; it might have been more, but I quite counting after three. Once is fine; I have to feed Biscuit around 4am. But, for the past couple of nights, Cara has been waking numerous times and refusing [...]

Diapers are apparently very bad things around our house. I make this statement based on the fact that I spent the entire weekend watching my child remove her diaper at every available opportunity. The days of her running around the apartment in her diaper are over. Now, even when Cara is wearing clothes, she tries [...]

Motherhood Uncensored was brave enough to post her “squalor” and I figured that I would do the same. I’m not shy; sometimes the cleaning just don’t get done. In my defense, we did have people over last night for pizza and beer. [I had rum and coke] Unlike, Motherhood Uncensored, I didn’t clean it up…I’ll [...]

I just received an email with a funny [and very true] list of breastfeeding “terms” with definitions; I had to share them here. The Boob Lift – The unconscious lifting of your breasts to check which is fuller. It may be done at any time regardless of where you are or whom you’re talking to. [...]

Guess what I found last night? A kitten. A tiny little black kitten who’s eyes aren’t open yet. I was outside last night around 5pm smoking a cigarette and I heard this tiny little kittie mew. I looked around and didn’t see a kitten and thought nothing more about it. [Our apartment complex is overrun [...]

For some reason, “Capt. Coleman” finds me very trustworthy. He’s willing to smuggle money out of Iraq to me if I’ll provide him with my bank and contact information. You also have to love that “for security reasons” I’m supposed to reply to a different Hotmail [ ie unsecured] address. So, without further ado, here’s [...]
