Taste Like Crazy

Oliver has been doing this weird thing where he wakes up around 3am and then screams bloody freakin’ murder until someone comes and gets him out of his room. Granted, I realize we’ve conditioned him to do this since we have repeatedly followed the same routine of blindly stumbling into his room in the dark and [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

WOMAN GETS FIRED FROM WRITING POSITION AFTER YEARS OF LOYAL SERVICE! *snort* So, yeah. I got canned from b5Media today. Note: this will be a three part post. #1 is about me getting fired #2 is about how I’ve lost 15 lbs with no exercise #3a is about Ollie’s haircut and #3b is about being a single mom for [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Ask and ye shall receive and stuff, y’all. Yesterday went just like any normal day. Breakfast, lunch, nap [Ollie. Not me.], Tucker home from work and then dinner. After that, I worked for a little bit while Tucker bathed the kids. At some point, I lay down on the couch and the entire room started spinning. I guess the [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
