Today is the day when it seems like all of the technology in the house is conspiring against me. Direct TV started acting up a couple of days ago. Cara and Ollie would be watching some cartoon [and very much enjoying said cartoon, might I add] and the next thing I know, Cara is hollering [...]
One of the things all of the “How to Be a Writer” books will tell you is that, in order to be a writer, you must read. And I do read – sometimes obsessively – but I don’t read the things I think writers probably read. For instance, I wonder how many “real” writers have [...]
I woke this morning to one child who is sick and thinks it’s her job to be as whiny as is humanly possible and to another child who thinks it’s his job to ceaselessly taunt and poke the sick one. This is not what I consider the start to a good day. Thus far, I’ve [...]
Tonight brings another night of YouTube videos but tonight includes some of my own instead of just the Vlog Brothers. Also, in case you heard about the tornado in Huntsville, we’re fine [obviously] but I DID catch a rockin picture of the precursor to that tornado. Check this out: Part of my job over at [...]
This is the post I write because I don’t want to write for work. This is the post I write because I am procrastinating. This is the post I write because even though I know I’m procrastinating, I’m embracing that part of me, as I often do. So, needless to say [though I will] this [...]
This was a weekend for firsts for me. First time someone called me ma’am – AND MEANT IT – the first time my mom came to visit for an entire weekend and we didn’t fight and actually had a great time, the first time someone read something of mine and understood the characters. So. Let’s [...]
It has been a very busy couple of days. On a whim, I made an appointment with a new psychologist and had my first appointment last night. I’m not sure what my first impression of him is. Of course, before I made the appointment, I did some research on the guy and he’s ex-Army, has [...]
You wanna know why you should never complain out loud about things going not so badly? Because the next thing you know, your gonna get snowballed with crap and find yourself saying to…well…yourself that maybe things weren’t so bad when your husband got a traffic ticket and maybe you should have written about puppies and [...]
The funny thing [at least to me] about having a wife who has a blog [and obviously I'm talking about TUCKER having a wife and not ME having one squirreled away in a closet somewhere] is that if you tell your wife a bit of information, there is a high rate of probability that what [...]
Since I took the easy way out by posting the pictures of the kids, I figured today I would write a rather uninspired but timely post about Tucker leaving for Drill today and the niggling [possibly] irrational fear I’m feeling since it’s been snowing. And since my heart and head wasn’t really in it, I [...]
