It All Comes Back to Pink Paint

Eight days ago, Cara took it upon herself to decorate her room. With a cheap black crayon. If you’re wondering, don’t go cheap with the crayons; buy the washable type. Trust me. This was the result of Cara’s work: Mind you, if she had put this artwork on paper, I would have probably hung it… Continue reading It All Comes Back to Pink Paint

Hints at What’s to Come

This weekend was just a normal weekend. We cleaned up a bit. I broke my website so I could fix it and redesign it. I waited impatiently for my copy of Charlaine Harris’s new Sookie Stackhouse book – Dead in the Family – to arrive. I have some opinions on the book. Once Alana finishes… Continue reading Hints at What’s to Come

The Lost Children Loved by Three Year Old

Cara has been interested in books since she was about nine months old. At that age, I guess she was more interested in ripping up the books than she was in listening to the story but she’s gotten better with age. Thankfully. Replacing all of those books got expensive! We’ve made it a habit to… Continue reading The Lost Children Loved by Three Year Old

True Blood Mini-Episode For the Win

You know how much I love the Sookie Stackhouse books. And when I say “love”, I mean I’ve read some of those books – Book 4, HELLO! – multiple times. Of course I’ve been watching the True Blood series and though I don’t particularly love the direction Alan Ball has taken, I still can’t quit… Continue reading True Blood Mini-Episode For the Win

March Against Pit Bull Discrimination

When Sophie was a puppy – maybe three months old – she was viciously attacked by a chihuahua. Yeah, I know. My pit bull was attacked by achihuahua. We don’t talk about it much because it reminds Sophie she was pwned by a dog that was already half her size. I wrote a long time… Continue reading March Against Pit Bull Discrimination

No Ice Cream

Caroline has a sweet tooth rivaled only by her father’s. Because of Tucker’s habit of finishing off a HUGE tub of ice cream in like two days, we normally don’t have it in the house. But, for some reason, on our last trip to Target I bought us some ice cream and Tucker suggested ice cream cones… Continue reading No Ice Cream

Can a Guy Write a Good Love Story?

I wonder if I’m a sexist when it comes to the books I read? I automatically assume a romance written by a chick will be better than a romance written by a guy. Am I the only one? So, I went into Fireworks Over Toccoa [affiliate link] with a chip on my shoulder completely expecting… Continue reading Can a Guy Write a Good Love Story?

Lack of Sleep Leads to Favoritism

I’m pretty sure I read somewhere that parents aren’t supposed to have favorites when it comes to their kids but after last night, Cara is looking like a freakin’ rockstar. This favoritsm is, I’ll admit, colored by a lack of sleep. Oliver’s problem has never been going to sleep. That kid could go to sleep… Continue reading Lack of Sleep Leads to Favoritism

Today I Felt Like a Good Mom

Today I felt like a good mom. A real mom. It’s not that I suck most days – maybe I do – but my kids are fed, clothed, cuddled and a heck of a lot of attention is paid to them. But today? Today was different. The day dawned clear, cool and sunny. There was… Continue reading Today I Felt Like a Good Mom

Goals: Wish I had Some

When I was young – probably up until 18 – I planned on becoming a veterinarian. Once I hit college, I modified my goal to include medical school since the classes were just about the same and I wanted to keep my options open. Life did what it normally does and threw me a couple… Continue reading Goals: Wish I had Some
