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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

The kids both have ear infections. Lots of fun. I’m trying to catch up on work so here’s a video compilation of our trip.

I HATE DSL!!! I’m sitting in the parking lot at Barnes and Noble and trying to check my 100′s of emails while Tucker watches the kids at home. It’s not exactly easy to do the whole email thing while I try and watch my surroundings. Imagine how pissed I’m gonna be if someone trys to [...]

This is a scheduled post since I should be putting boxes in the moving truck. Cross your fingers that the moving is actually taking place. So, another email from Alana: My husband, being unhappy with my mood swings, bought me a mood ring the other day so he would be able to monitor my moods. [...]
