On the left side of the sanity bell curve
If there’s one thing that keeps things interesting in a house with two kids under four, it’s the fights. Epic fights involving teeth, nails and lots and lots of screaming. I’m not the only one, right? Please tell me I’m not the only one. In the beginning, Cara and Ollie were thick as thieves. And… Continue reading Referee No Longer
So on that silly cryptic post, I mentioned I’m curating for BlissReads and I know some of you are wondering what curating even means. If you’ve heard of Holy Kaw! – an offshoot of Alltop – then you know what I’m talking about. Mashable does some similar stuff though they seem to be focusing more… Continue reading BlissReads FTW
I was probably in third grade when my teacher very delicately told me I had “diarrhea of the mouth.” And looking back on it, I realize she had a point. I’ve always talked a lot and if I hear my mom say one more time, “Think before you speak!” I’ll probably staple my mouth shut.… Continue reading Diarrhea of the Mouth
I’m one of those especially annoying people who correct what other people say. The compulsion isn’t as bad as it used to be – now I usually just correct stuff in mah head. I blame that compulsion on my mom because she’s an easy target [Hi, Mom!] and she isn’t nearly as good as me… Continue reading Grammar Nazi
Ever get to that point right before you’re supposed to go grocery shopping where you have like some flour, a couple of cans of vegetables of some sort and some peanut butter? Maybe you haven’t but that’s where we were today and though we’re going to stock up tomorrow, we needed milk and eggs and… Continue reading That Kid
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
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
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
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
Last night was one of those nights where it became crystal clear to me that my boy is growing up. And I’m happy about that. And when I say I celebrate that, I really mean it. But it was like being slapped upside the head with a cinder block and it took me a bit… Continue reading Celebrate the Steps Don’t Mourn Them
I’m probably the only person who’s going to find this ironic but I’m writing about my lack of motivation. I’ve been up since 6:30 or 7am. I’ve had my laptop either in my lap or close by the whole time and I’ve written eleven words for Sims 3 Gamer. And it’s not like what I’m writing about… Continue reading What’s My Motivation?
