I’ve been telling the kids I would make them cupcakes and something always seemed to happen that took precedence over said cupcakes. Eventually I started to feel like a shitty mom for promising and promising and never delivering and I finally put my cupcakes where my mouth is…or something. The original plan was to make [...]

I wrote this, too! And TWO POSTS IN ONE DAY! I know. I’m shocked as well. And even though I’m posting about posts I’ve already posted on another site, I’m still counting them. AND I’m planning on writing a real post after this. Don’t set the post bar very high though, folks. This might be [...]

I wrote this last week…I think. I don’t really remember. If you play vidgiegames then you might find this interesting, if you don’t play vidgiegames then you probably shouldn’t read this and you most definitely shouldn’t click over to Kmart Gamer; you’ll just be bored and/or confused. You can read this stuff instead! Book/Writing Related [...]

After writing this post and making the mistake of watching Cash’s version of Hurt about ten times and then developing the subsequent headache-after-sobbing thing, I needed something to raise my spirits.

Correction…no other kids influencing Cara’s behavior other than her brother but he doesn’t really count. Now that Cara’s in gymnastics and has decided she’s in love, I’m finally getting a [...]

Saturday was Ollie’s Happy Birthday Party Day since today is his actual birthday and Monday is a hard day on which to through a party. I didn’t take any pictures but I’m sure there must be some floating around somewhere. Ollie is three as of today. Happy birthday, Ollie! Feels weird that it’s been three [...]

I’m finally getting back into the swing of things. I haven’t felt like doing anything for the past couple of days other than sitting on my butt and while I normally spend a good part of the day sitting on my ass, usually I spend said time being somewhat productive. Productivity and I weren’t really [...]
