On the left side of the sanity bell curve
I’m not a fan of people; in general they pretty much suck. Then someone does something that makes it impossible to deny there are a few people out there who don’t suck all the time. Jenny started The Great Christmas Unsuck of 2010–my title not hers. The idea was simple enough: the first 20 people who… Continue reading The Great Christmas Unsuck of 2010 via The Bloggess
They don’t really taste like crazy. That was just low hanging fruit. But now you’re thinking, “Amy, what the heck are talking about and why are you writing an entire post about these ‘baby feeds’?” I’m glad you asked! First off, baby feeds is what I’m calling the category feeds I’ve set up. The ones… Continue reading Baby Feeds Taste Like Crazy
There are certain events in a man’s life which should be recorded for posterity. The first time he took a step. The first time he said something meaningful. The first time he crushed a beer can on his forehead. You know…the important things. Ever since Cara got herself potty trained, I’ve been counting down the… Continue reading Superhero Undies
What have I gotten myself into? You might have noticed the little pink box over on the right that says, “I’m speaking!” Yay and stuff! Except talking to a group of people scares the crap out of me. Hence the “What have I gotten myself into?” thing. The session is on the Beginner track and… Continue reading Spectacular Train Wreck or a Spectacular Success

So I’m a bit late when it comes to the 12 days of Christmas thing and I didn’t even plan on doing any special Christmas lists but since I’ve already done the kitchen list–a very nice list–I might as well do a couple more. This list only goes over shelter, bags, packs and fire starters.… Continue reading Outdoor/Camping/Zombie Preparedness Christmas List
It’s all my fault; I tempted fate. Each time Tucker goes to drill, I write about how great the kids are for me; they always go easy on me. When he left Friday and the kids went completely crazy, I should have just shrugged my shoulders and gone with it. When Ollie kicked Cara in… Continue reading Pardoned By Christmas Lights
And by “that time” you know what I’m talking about. Tucker’s at drill which is a good thing since I would be driving him crazy right now and I’d start crying and he’d give me that boy look and try to fix whatever was making me cry but he can’t fix my hormones so his… Continue reading Crying Day or I’m About to Cry Cause It’s That Time
Last night, Tucker, the kids and I watched Community’s Christmas special: Abed’s Uncontrollable Christmas. It’s done in claymation just like my all-time Christmas favorite – Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. However, claymation is where the similarities end. Rudolph was all cute and worried about public acceptance in the face of…well…he had that nose thing. The Community… Continue reading Abed’s Uncontrollable Christmas Tonight!
The aliens have embedded homing chips in my children’s brains. Or maybe alarms. Both? Picture a quiet morning with the television off and the kids in their rooms, playing without incident. I weeded through my email and read about the newest software update for Droid phones: Gingerbread. The thing is, I haven’t even gotten Froyo… Continue reading Alien Homing Device
*I started this yesterday but got bored so I’m finishing it today. You’re welcome.* After days and days of working on a story I finally submitted today – and screwed up the submission form so I had to call them and get it fixed and I almost puked from the whole ordeal – I’m out… Continue reading Mayo and Rubber Band Balls
