On the left side of the sanity bell curve
Cara has this tendency to fixate on things and after about a month she's done with the object of her obsession. At the moment, her fixation is this viral video of a chameleon walking across sunglasses and changing colors as it does. The video is fake - it's an ad for Ray-Bans but Cara doesn't care and the music is ...
I've known this day was coming for a long, long time. Six months long time. The kids' dentist. By myself. At least when Tucker's with me I'm able to pass one kid off on him and focus on whichever kid I decided to be responsible for. Not today. Today was Oliver's first official visit and he was less than thrilled. ...
When I was in high school - probably my Junior year - I met my "first love" and fell just as hard and thoroughly as one would expect. And, as is almost always the case, it didn't last and I was a wreck. I sulked. I cried. Basically, I reacted much the way I figure most girls react when ...
I gave my phone a bath last night; I thought the phone was stinky. Not really. More like the phone slipped off of my shoulder as I was testing the temperature of the kids' bath water. Down it went. In truth, it slid into the water and down along the bottom of the tub - the screen still lit ...
Let's talk about werewolves, shall we? I know, I know. You think you're all werewolved out, what with the whole Twilight thing. Heck, even if you've never seen one of the movies or read one of the books, you're sure to have seen one of the many, many commercials. The main reason I bring up the Twilight ...

I officially lost it last night. I thought I would be OK and I was pretty sure I was going to hold it together until last night. I had to go to Target with the kids yesterday and though it wasn't the horrible, soul reaping experience I had feared it would be, it had a dash of ...
If you look at the books that have been coming out in recent years, you're sure to notice the many, many supernatural/fantasy books out there. Harry Potter1 should probably get some of the credit as one of the most recent series of fantasy books to sell like hot cakes. And then there was the Twilight series2 ...
So. Tucker has been called away to fulfill his "two weeks a year" thing with the Navy and I'm here. With the kids. Two very well looked after kids, might I add. The funny thing about having lived with someone for so long is you're not quite sure how to live without said person once they're gone. And I'm ...
Every time I go see my counselor, Cara always asks where I'm going. At first we told her I was "going to the doctor". Being a bit swoofter than your average child of three, she quickly caught on that our explanation might not be exactly true. So, Tucker, with his inspiring way with words, decided to tell Cara I ...
Yesterday was the first time I've been without my kids and with a girlfriend [Did I mention without kids?] since...well, since I had my kids. Alana and I went to see Sex and the City 2 together on Saturday and left the kids with Tucker and Alana's husband, Chris. Though I was a bit skeptical at ...
The "death talk" in a lot of parents' minds is akin to the "sex talk" - something you know you'll eventually have to talk about but you're perfectlycontent to put it off for as long as is humanly possible. I had to explain death to Cara much earlier than I thought I would have to when our cat ...
