On the left side of the sanity bell curve
I am a writer. I am a wife. I am a mom. I am a gamer. I am riddled with ADD. Order changes daily.
This is the story of a girl who thought she was unlovable – someone who was considered a “good for right now” kind of girl. As luck would have it, the girl met a boy and her opinion of herself began to change. No longer was she afraid she would never really be loved. Now,… Continue reading This is the Story of a Girl
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… Continue reading Videos of the Day
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… Continue reading Dentist Drama
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… Continue reading Laws of Illusion
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 -… Continue reading Ingredients: Rice, Water and Cell Phone
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… Continue reading Shiver and Linger

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… Continue reading Things Fall Apart
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… Continue reading The Iron King Review and Giveway
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… Continue reading Tucker Goes to Key West – Day One
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… Continue reading How Do I Explain the Crazy?
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… Continue reading Sex and the City 2 and Motherhood
