You’re Lovely

Today is one of those days when it seems people need to hear they’re OK just the way they are. Nothing needs to be changed so they’re worthy of love. They’re lovely just they way they are. When’s the last time you heard you were fine? You were perfect the way you are? You don’t… Continue reading You’re Lovely

Cereal Killer

Mom’s here for Thanksgiving. We’re having brined chicken, dressing, green beans, mashed potatoes and gravy, some kind of rolls and caramel pie. Yay for Thanksgiving! Yay for food. That’s not the point. Point! Where’d you go?! About ten minutes ago, Mom and I were talking about the West Memphis Three case. I’m originally from around… Continue reading Cereal Killer

My Kids Fight All the Time

This week has been one of those weeks were I asked myself every single day if there was supposed to be a full moon that night. Every morning, Cara and Ollie have gotten up and started in on each other. Cara would sock Ollie or Ollie would bite Cara; we really thought the biting thing… Continue reading My Kids Fight All the Time

Batman Kills Writer’s Block

I’m pretty certain I have writer’s block. Or rather, I can’t think of anything to write. Which means I’m going to ramble aimlessly on about anything that comes to mind so I can convince myself this isn’t a permanent mental state. Because that would blow. Rambling is the best medicine. When you can’t write, you… Continue reading Batman Kills Writer’s Block

Veterans Day: Thank a Veteran Because They Earned IT

Today is Veterans Day. Tucker’s a veteran. Mom’s second husband was a Marine sniper during Vietnam and received three Purple Hearts for his trouble. My grandpa was in WWII and Korea and would have gone to Vietnam if he hadn’t retired. My grandma’s [Grandpa’s wife] first husband was in the Army and died a war… Continue reading Veterans Day: Thank a Veteran Because They Earned IT

Wisk Says, “Go Away, Lip Gloss!”

This is the last post in the Wisk Stain Spectrum series of reviews. You can find the other three here: Pre-Review of Wisk with StainSpectrum Technology, Wisk Protein Science Experiment [this is my mom’s favorite] and Wisk Carbohydrate Lab Tailgate Party Experiment. The subject for today’s demonstration was oil stains and I was sent a… Continue reading Wisk Says, “Go Away, Lip Gloss!”

Frisbee Owl Says Toddler Walking into Wall is Funny

I tend to believe Cara didn’t sleep a single night all the way through from two weeks old until probably six months ago. Oliver was probably asleep when he was born; he’s always been a big fan of getting his beauty sleep. Then, about six months ago, my kids swapped places and it was such… Continue reading Frisbee Owl Says Toddler Walking into Wall is Funny

Logical Burger King

During Cara and Oliver’s pediatrician appointment, diet was discussed with the usual warning to not frequent fast food restaurants more than occasionally – which made my earlier proclamation of McDonald’s as a treat for Cara doing so well with her vision and hearing test seem more than just a bit ill timed. But our pediatrician is… Continue reading Logical Burger King

Sick Baby

When Cara was first born, I knew the shot schedule better than I knew my daily schedule…probably because I didn’t have a daily schedule but you get what I’m trying to say. Possible side effects were researched. A bastardized cost-benefit analysis was conducted and I went into every appointment educated and confident in my decisions for Cara. And then Ollie… Continue reading Sick Baby
