I’m sitting here on the couch and I’m a kid down. Tucker took Cara to the dentist this morning to get this weird discoloration thing fixed [I say weird discoloration thing since the dentist never said it was a cavity since it was hard] and I just know when she gets home that she’s going… Continue reading My Butt is a Good Hiding Place

Santa’s a Sham and Tucker Does Everything Better
I bitch at Tucker a lot. I realize this, he realizes this but doesn’t complain about it too often. He’s not henpecked or anything…mostly he just listens and files it away for future bitch sessions at me. My all-time favorite thing to bitch at Tucker about it how he’s better at everything than me. Correction.… Continue reading Santa’s a Sham and Tucker Does Everything Better
More Coffee, Please?
Last night was one of those nights when having two parents around would have made things a lot easier. Actually, I don’t know how much easier things would have been but at least I would have had someone other than myself to bitch to. I’m fairly certain that Ollie has developed a couple of ear… Continue reading More Coffee, Please?
Let Me Tell You About My Night
About a month ago, my friend Alana [HI, Alana! ] decided that I was going to see New Moon with her. On opening night. Alana really isn’t one of those people you argue with and so I went online, bought my ticket and spent the next month stressing about how Tucker would handle the fact… Continue reading Let Me Tell You About My Night
Spare Parts
If you were following me yesterday on Twitter then you got to read me live tweeting my Nikon camera repair. Correction. You got to read about me shocking myself numerous times while I ripped into my Nikon. We’ve had this camera since 2005 and it’s served us well but a couple of weeks ago, it… Continue reading Spare Parts
Spread the Word
Yesterday I hopped on Twitter and saw the hashtag “#prayersforAnissa” and had no freakin’ clue what was going on. After asking a couple of people, I found out that Anissa had a stroke yesterday afternoon and was/is in ICU. I met Anissa in person this past July when I went to BlogHer. I already “knew”… Continue reading Spread the Word
The Best Apples I Can
When I was little, I went to church with my grandma and grandpa whenever I was at their house on Sundays. Since my mom worked several jobs when I was little, I was at my grandparents’ house a lot. One thing that I can vividly remember about that church is the smell of the place:… Continue reading The Best Apples I Can
I Need Flexible Boobs
Ollie’s 14 months old now. He’s been walking for months, nods his head “yes” and “no”, beats up on his sister and does long division. OK. So the beats his sister up part isn’t true… Anyway, one thing Oliver doesn’t do is sleep through the night. He’s normally in bed by 7 or 7:30 and… Continue reading I Need Flexible Boobs
I Couldn’t Come Up with a Snazzy Title
Am I the only person who still hasn’t gotten the whole daylight savings time thing down? It just seems unnatural for it to be bright as noon when it’s only 6am. Of course, once it’s light outside, my children [who were apparently birds in a former life] are awake and loud and demanding breakfast and… Continue reading I Couldn’t Come Up with a Snazzy Title
The Owls
Our apartment building butts up against a nature preserve. This preserve was a major selling point for us when we looked at the apartment since Cara’s room [now Ollie’s room] has a great view of the woods and it’s almost like we’re in a house instead of an apartment. Well…if you ignore all of the… Continue reading The Owls
As Big As the Sky
I’ve been slacking on this whole “work” thing like crazy [imagine that] and haven’t checked my email in a coon’s age. So, imagine my chagrin when I sat down at my laptop this morning, coffee in hand, and checked my email only to find a rather shitty email about my post that I wrote on… Continue reading As Big As the Sky
The Dentist Who Ruined It All for Me
Several years ago, my wisdom teeth were giving me all kinds of grief. Since I was a young college student who made about 7k a year, I didn’t have the cash to get those damn teeth cut out of my head. My mom gave me a trip to the dentist as a birthday present and… Continue reading The Dentist Who Ruined It All for Me
