On the left side of the sanity bell curve
I just got out of the shower and Cara is down for her morning nap. Life is good. I normally take my shower at night but since I went walking this morning (stop laughing), I definitely couldn’t put it off. Wait. Are you still laughing? I really I can’t blame you. The idea of me… Continue reading Walking Doesn’t Suck that Much
Ugg. So Caroline’s feeling better and that makes me very pleased. I really don’t think I can express the joy that I’m feeling at the fact that I don’t have to change a dirty diaper every thirty minutes. Isn’t it amazing the things that can make a mom happy? Maybe it’s pathetic. Oh well. Apparently… Continue reading Salmonella in MY Belly
I got a call from the Base a little while ago concerning Cara’s poop. Wait, did I tell you about that. Hmm…let me think. Yep. I did. Here, here, here, and here. What I forgot to tell you is that Tucker had to take in a little Cara stool sample and that’s why the Base… Continue reading Salmonella in Her Belly
We were in bed last night talking about how I have never been to a spa. Perfectly innocent, right? Somehow that innocent subject quickly devolved into Tucker talking about anal bleaching. You read that correctly. Anal bleaching. [Can you imagine the hits I’m going to have from Google from this one?] The conversation went something… Continue reading On Why My Husband is Weird
I was on Blogher and found a spiffy new blog…well new to me anyway. She had a hilarious video by Flight of the Conchords who incidentally, I had never heard of. See what I just did there? I found something on another blog that I found interesting. So, I mentioned the blog AND I …
When Cara was around eight weeks or so, the Crazy family attended a birthday party for the daughter (I’ll call her Sara) of some friends of ours. The friends are young [because you know, I’m so ancient] and Tucker and I don’t always [pretty much never] agree with their parenting style. Being the amazingly tactful… Continue reading Baby Monitor Dirt
Why has the child decided to start waking at 5 am? Does anyone have any ideas because I’m at a loss. Oh well. I’m not being a “martyr mommy” or anything and I did go to bed last night at 8:30 pm. I think I got enough sleep. Around 7 am, she started to drift… Continue reading Sleep Baby, Sleep
When I was eight months pregnant with Cara, I took Sophie and Beck out back to go pee. The grass was dewy and the two idiots were tip-toeing around like the wet grass was going to eat them. As I was cussing at the duo to get down to business, an itty bitty Sheltie came… Continue reading Other People’s Kids
*This list is not “ranked” in any particular order #1 I am happily married and Tucker really is my best friend. #2 I’m afraid that Cara will be alienated for being “special” like Tucker and I were. #3 People think my dogs are mean but they’re not. #4 I really like to read. #5 I’m… Continue reading Best Damn Random List in the World!
We’ve all done it; judging. Whether it’s casting an disapproving look at the mom whose kid is screaming in the store, or the parent who “lets their child run wild”, everyone has those moments where you can’t believe what you’re seeing and there’s no way that you would let that happen. I’m that person…a lot.… Continue reading Mrs. Judgy McJudgers
It’s early. I’ve been up for a while. I woke up before Tucker did this morning. Cara woke up before I did. She still has diarrhea and her little butt is very raw. Poor baby. Ugg. Sorry about that; I’m better now. I just haven’t had enough coffee yet. I made that turkey last …
I just changed a dirty diaper for the fifth time today (thanks Cara). My child does “#2″ maybe once every three days so I know something’s up. Since she still has a low-grade fever, I’m going to go with a stomach bug. She’s acting fine, but these dirty diapers are about to kill me. To… Continue reading Red Baby Ass and Cleaning Tips
