On the left side of the sanity bell curve
Why is it that almost every woman that the media interviews concerning the elections always says, “I’m voting for Hillary because she’s a woman and I’m a woman and we need a woman president.” WTF? I really don’t understand this line of thinking. Does that mean that if you’re black, you should automatically vote for… Continue reading Aren’t We Smarter than This?
One thing that sucks about me being pregnant right now is the fact that Cara’s not weaned. She had cut herself down to one real feeding when she woke up and one real feeding right before bed and then she would nurse when she woke up in the middle of the night. In addition to… Continue reading This Cafe is Closing
Yesterday was not a fun day. Midday sickness [cause I don’t get morning sickness] started around 11 am and lasted for the majority of the day. Luckily, no puking is ever involved so I can completely cope. When Tucker got home from work, we headed to Old Navy to check out the sale that they… Continue reading The First Pregnancy Post
I feel the need to defend myself about this post. I didn’t write it as any sort of New Year’s resolution. I know from personal experience that New Year’s resolutions don’t work. In fact, 63% fail with in two month. Mine always have failed and since all of my “acceptable” excuses for over-eating were past… Continue reading The Update
It’s my birthday today. Happy birthday to me. Happy birthday to me. Happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday to me. [More to follow] [Edited on July 17, 2008 to say that I found out that I was pregnant the second time on this day. I wasn’t very happy about it.]
Did I tell you about the criminal elves we have in Florida? Yeah, it’s a huge news story down here. On Christmas Day, a group of the sneaky bastards managed to get past Tucker, Cara, the dogs, the cat and me and stole our baby monitor receiver. That’s right, folks. Stole it. It’s either that… Continue reading Thieving Elves
Last night was a tough night. For the past couple of weeks, I’ve bathed Cara and after a bit of playtime, have told her that it’s bedtime and to find Ugly Dog and to head on into her room. She fusses and bitches, but follows me into her room, nonetheless. I nurse her and lay… Continue reading I Hope that Tonight is Better
We had to go get groceries today. We were to that point where you start being “creative” when making dinner and Rice-A-Roni becomes the main course. [Don’t judge! You know you’ve been there.] As we meandered around Target, Cara was being a rock star and she was completely engrossed by a box of Pop Tarts.… Continue reading New Perspective
It’s cleaning time, kiddos. Kind of like “business time“, but not…that would really be a completely different type of post. Mom’s supposed to be here tomorrow or Sunday. [I can’t really remember] I know that she’s leaving for here early Saturday morning. I also know that the state of the apartment ain’t gonna cut it.… Continue reading It’s Cleaning Time
Man, oh man I feel like shit today. I woke up wanting to puke and have done so several times. I don’t have a fever, but I seem to lack to ability to keep myself from thinking about food. [Damn, I did it again while I was typing that! And now that I’m …
I sincerely feel a little bit bad, but I called the cops on my neighbors this morning at 12:45. OK. So maybe not the cops; I called the “community officer”. But, he’s a cop who gets to live here for free since he deals with petty bullshit calls like mine. Luckily, he didn’t come knocking… Continue reading Called the Police
Most mornings I wake to the sounds of Tucker in the shower. I grab the baby monitor, make sure Cara’s still asleep and I pray for ten more minutes before she too wakes up. I say most mornings because that sure as hell didn’t happen this morning. At 4:45 am, I was jolted out of… Continue reading Bass and a Dead Guy
