On the left side of the sanity bell curve

Dear YouTube, I love you. You have given my daughter, my husband, and me hours and hours of enjoyment. But, I’m pretty pissed off at you right now. The League of Maternal Justice posted a breastfeeding montage on your site in response to Facebook banning a picture of a woman breastfeeding her child. It was… Continue reading Message to YouTube

Last night was one of those nights when I wished that I could just snap my fingers and Cara would have a mouthful of teeth. All day she would be playing one minute and crying the next. I could have sworn that she had two personalities; she would be chasing Oscar and then she would… Continue reading Death To You, Molar

I watched way too many hours of Wild Kingdom and could name just about every animal in our local museum. So, you can imagine my elation when I was told that we were going to visit the… Continue reading I Didn’t Get the Joke

I’ve gotten (or am getting) passed all of that as best I can. Several years ago, Dad remarried. His… Continue reading Stupid Dad

I’m a work-at-home mom. Everyday, Tucker goes to work and Cara and I stay at our apartment while he’s gone. Granted, we’re not shut-ins or anything…but we are home for most of the day. For the most part, we live in a decent part of town and crime isn’t a big issue. So, I’ve never… Continue reading My Guard Dogs
