Someone [I don’t remember who] on Twitter linked to a CNET [LOVE them] story that asked if mommy bloggers need to “grow up”? *Disclaimer #1: I haven’t finished reading that story yet since I went to the linked MomDot story about the “PR Blackout”.* I headed over to MomDot and read Trisha’s story and at… Continue reading PR Blackout?

Mother, Thy Name is Cow
So, I just stepped in it. Cara, Ollie and I were all sitting at the table eating dinner and Cara and I were going over animal sounds and what animals live in the ocean-that kind of thing. Cows came up and I asked Cara what sound they make. “Moo!” [Genius, I’m telling you.] I couldn’t… Continue reading Mother, Thy Name is Cow
I’m Essentially a Coward
I’ve been putting off this post since about 9 o’clock this morning. That’s around the time that I called the vet to check on Oscar and around the time that Cara started “calling” Oscar with our home phone. You know it’s bad when you call to ask when you can pick up your cat and… Continue reading I’m Essentially a Coward
Oscar the Cat Almost Died
Today has been one hell of a day. It started out alright. Tucker left for work after dumping Ollie in bed with me. Shortly after, Cara started calling, “SOMEBODY! LET ME OUT! ANYONE?! HELLO?!”. It was cute and I was awake so I let the toddler out of her room and the day officially started.… Continue reading Oscar the Cat Almost Died
Official Statement from Canadian Embassy
I had planned this to be a post about Tucker and the amazing father that he is but if you look at my Twitter stream then you are well aware of the fact that I have become extremely interested in what’s happening in Iran/Tehran. Iran has interested me since I came to know a classmate… Continue reading Official Statement from Canadian Embassy
A Quickie
Here it is almost 9 o’clock and I haven’t packed a single thing. Actually, as I type this, some of Cara’s clothes and her Hello Kitty! towel are drying so that I don’t ruin her little two year old day tomorrow. We’re heading back to Arkansas for my mom’s family reunion so that means about… Continue reading A Quickie
Though I Am Awesome…
At every apartment complex that we’ve lived, we’ve had a pool. Though I love swimming, I’m not a big fan of the whole bathing suit thing and refuse to wear a t-shirt to cover up so I can count on two hands [maybe three…I have a spare] the number of times that I’ve actually used… Continue reading Though I Am Awesome…
The Hermit is Leaving the House
If you’ve read me for very long [that sounds a bit pretentious but you know what I mean] then you know that I’m a bit of a hermit. I’m perfectly fine staying home with the kids until Tucker comes home and then we all go out together. Truth be told, Tucker is a bit of… Continue reading The Hermit is Leaving the House
Menopause Jewelry
This is a scheduled post since I should be putting boxes in the moving truck. Cross your fingers that the moving is actually taking place. So, another email from Alana: My husband, being unhappy with my mood swings, bought me a mood ring the other day so he would be able to monitor my moods.… Continue reading Menopause Jewelry
To be Six Again
Alana sent me this yesterday. A man was sitting on the edge of the bed, observing his wife, looking at herself in the mirror. Since her birthday was not far off he asked what she’d like to have for her birthday. ‘I’d like to be six again’, she replied, still looking in the mirror. On… Continue reading To be Six Again
Where I Rant About Baby Shaker
If you “read me” very often then you already know that I write for b5media about video games and liquor. I don’t know if you go to my other sites or not and since I don’t know where you go after you hang around here, I figured that I would provide a link to what… Continue reading Where I Rant About Baby Shaker
Baby Tries to Remove Eye:Parents think that Sucks
Oliver tried to take out his left eye today. Well…not really. He was up a lot last night and when he finally decided this morning to get up for good I decided to stay in bed and enjoy the almost forgotten feeling of NOT being used as a human pacifier. Tucker took the laughing child… Continue reading Baby Tries to Remove Eye:Parents think that Sucks
