Working On Ollie’s Video Game Addiction

I wrote a couple of days ago about Ollie being obsessed with video games. It’s getting better. He’s getting better. The work-around? Setting a time when there’s the possibility of game time. The possibility part has been a battle which has been a nice change from the gaming being the battle. I can work with… Continue reading Working On Ollie’s Video Game Addiction

Ollie’s Obsessed with Video Games

I just realized he was flipping me off. I'm assuming this is a coincidence. I hope.
Ollie

A couple of Mondays ago Ollie absolutely lost it when it was time to leave Cara’s gymnastics class. [Feel free to read about that escapade here. I’ll wait.] The main trigger of his meltdown was me taking the iPad. The iPad he was playing a game on. As a chick who plays a hell of… Continue reading Ollie’s Obsessed with Video Games

The Holidays are Bipolar

Thanksgiving Day Turkey

Over the past holiday weekend, I’ve decided that the holidays need mental help. They are, in fact, bipolar and should, most likely, be medicated. I’ve also decided this bipolarishness comes from highly set expectations that might be attainable if not for unfamiliar ovens and dry dressing and the black hole that is moving. And I… Continue reading The Holidays are Bipolar

You Mean Neighbors Actually Expect You To Talk To Them?!

Sophie finally got her backyard.
Sophie finally got her backyard.

Deep down I knew that moving to an actual neighborhood would mean that I couldn’t hide like I could in our apartment. In an apartment, people generally don’t talk to the other tenants; it’s just not expected and kind of discouraged what with the downcast eyes and all that. We moved our beds over here… Continue reading You Mean Neighbors Actually Expect You To Talk To Them?!

Word of the Day: Qat

Scrabble Letter Q

qat (kæt, kɑːt) n a variant spelling of khat Heather said she wanted a “Q” word without a “U” so here’s one: Qat. ACTUALLY, Heather demanded a list of “Q” words that don’t require a “U” to which I reply, “Suck. It.” Cause I’m classy like that. So what the hell is Qat/Khat? Khat consumption… Continue reading Word of the Day: Qat

lie

I’ve quit ignoring Dad’s calls. Now I just sit there and let him ramble if he wants. He mentions coming and seeing us but, considering he said that the whole four years we were stationed in Florida, I doubt that’s going to happen. Then again, he could totally surprise me. He hasn’t been himself the… Continue reading What Do You Do When Your Liar Father Might Be Lying To Your Kid?
