Single Mom for a Bit

Tucker in Cara's hat.

Tucker sets sail on a jet plane today for places far away. I know I got off easy when I was a Navy wife. Tucker was never deployed and the longest I was away from him--other than Boot--was when he did an AT in Key West for two weeks; I was a very lucky military wife. Does that mean ...

I Don’t Know What To Title This Other Than Receptionists at Shrinks’ Offices Should Have a Sense of Humor

Filed Under: Gifs, Mental Health
no

I discovered yesterday that I had overlapping appointments with my counselor and my shrink for today. Called and got the shrink rescheduled for a later time. Told the receptionist she was a "life saver." Me: "Wait! I don't mean like LITERALLY a life saver! Don't tell him I said that! I just mean you really helped me out!" Her--sounding rather ...

Cara’s Official Letter from the Tooth Fairy

Filed Under: Gifs, Life
Note from Tooth Fairy

Tuesday I picked Cara up from school minus a front tooth. She had pulled it in the bathroom--and didn't even cry--and then promptly lost the thing. This put Tucker and me in a spot since we didn't have a tooth for the "Tooth Fairy" to retrieve and then replace with money. Wednesday was Cara's class's book fair day. ...

Get Happy and Room Cleaning Hipsters

Cara and Ollie as hipsters 2.9.13

This is what happens when we send the kids to clean their rooms and the playroom: they put on strange outfits and demand to have their pictures taken. Though they look cute and ridiculous, they suck at picking up. Between Tucker and me, I bet we've made at least fifteen trips back to their areas. Each time ...

DIARY ENTRY 2.4.13

Matron's Diary

I'm not sure how much this counts as a "diary entry" as much as it's kind of a news/what's been happening kind of thing. I have a job. I don't remember if I announced over here that Josh from Kmart Gamer fame asked me to be the Editor in Chief for his new startup which we're currently calling Project ...

How I Tell If Tucker’s Mad At Me

Filed Under: Life
flying toilet

Me: Are you mad at me? Tucker: {long pause} No. No, why? Me: The toilet seat is up. When you're mad at me you leave the toilet seat up. Tucker: I'm not mad at you! Me: I can't fix it if I don't know why you're mad at me. Tucker: ♪ I'm gonna kick you in the shins... ♪

SimCity Beta First Impressions

The last time I played a SimCity game, I think the computer was running Windows 3.0 or something and I couldn't figure out the game. Cut me some slack...I was seven. SO there was a bit of a learning curve for me when I first started playing with the beta. I was very, very good at creating ...

100 Days School Project: The Owl Tree

100 Days Owl School Project

Cara has attended 100 days of school. Mind officially blown. I'm not going to pull the whole, "MY BABY'S GROWING UP!!!" stuff. It's just weird, you know? Anyway, to celebrate the joyous day, the school is having all of the kids make displays with 100 things so they can all count them or something. It's educational! ...

Diary Entry 1.24.13

Filed Under: Diary, Gifs
Matron's Diary

Today I meet my new shrink for the first time. This visit is most likely more needed than me continuing with talk therapy. Hell, I only went to that because Tucker suggested I talk to someone before I went off my old medication. I've been off those long enough now that I'm definitely back to baseline. And ...
