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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 made two [...]

I guess this is supposed to be a “wordless” Wednesday but you know how good I am at doing anything wordless…I suck at it. So, here are pictures that were taken over the Christmas holiday. Most were taken on Christmas Day and most were taken by my in-laws. Pretty much all of them slay me. Though I [...]

Since I don’t feel like thinking about monumental moments of 2009 or the decade for that matter, I’ve decided to go through the posts of the past year and list my favorites. The list starts with my favorite of this month and goes down to January. Some months were better than others and picking a favorite was [...]
