Is American Culture to Blame for Bad Schools?

Education and learning are two things we value in this household. We also value things like bacon, really good coffee and hours and hours of sleep but believe that last one is kind of like a leprechaun – mythical. Sunday morning was a lazy morning. We had planned on getting random groceries and then going to the creek/park [...]

Mirror, Mirror On the Wall

You know that part in Snow White where the EVIL Stepmother is all like, “Mirror, mirror on the wall. Who’s the fairest one of all?” Remember that part? Cara has her own version. And it sounds like she’s asking “Who’s the weirdest one of all?” Though it would be a tough contest in this household, I’m going to [...]

Your Own Worst Enemy

I’m liking the multi-part post thing. It helps mah ADD riddled mind stay on track and it’s a hell of a lot easier to jump from #1 where I’m talking about breastfeeding to #2 where I want to talk about video games. None of that messy transition stuff. Today on Taste Like Crazy, you shall read [...]

Road Trip and Puke

I’d love to write something deep and insightful but I’m running short on deep and insightful today. We spent the weekend in Arkansas and while it was great, I’m pretty sure we all missed our routine. Tucker and I were both dreading last night since we had convinced ourselves that last night was going to suck [...]

Weight Loss and a Liar Amongst Us

This is a two part post since what I had planned on writing about has been usurped by something else; I hate it when that happens. Part one is about me losing weight. Part two is about my dad. Weight Loss Weekend before last, I decided I was going to lose weight. Again. And to be clear, the [...]

Pillow Kitty Says Oliver Should Sleep More

Why, yes! Yes this is another post about not getting a lot of sleep and it’s also a post where I whine about Oliver not sleeping. Again. Cause that’s the main thing coloring just about everything I think about these days. To be fair to Tucker, instead of going for a run this morning, Tucker went in and [...]

I’m Awake…That’s About It

Being up super early is a double edged sword. On the one…edge…I’m up and can’t go back to sleep so I might as well get the day’s work out of the way. The other edge/side/whatever is I’ve been up [off and on] since 2am and I’m tired. I’m really, really tired. I’m tired enough that I could [...]

May Your Day Be Boring

The first of the month for me is always the time when I coast; the end of the month is when I go insane since I’m a habitual procrastinator. While the rush to the deadline sucks, the day after and the relief of having it done is usually more than enough payoff. Today the goal of the [...]

Technology Hates Me Today

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 about the [...]
