On the left side of the sanity bell curve
I’m writing this super early today before I finally crawl into bed. What’s funny is that I’m usually up this late but after you’ve spent hours in an ER, you get a bit bushed. Ollie had his ENT appointment yesterday and we were up and moving much earlier than is normal for us. Cara mentioned… Continue reading Cara’s Trip to the ER
Cara starts school this fall and you’d think I would be freaking out about the kindergarten thing. Instead, I’m freaking out about Ollie being home with me. For two years. Two years of not having Cara around during the day. Two years of entertaining just Ollie. Two years of him being bored with me. I… Continue reading Tucker Being Right and Me Freaking Out About Being Alone with Ollie [Gif Heavy! YAY!]
Last month we were all sick with some sort of soul-sucking sickness that lasted far too long. Once we had recovered, Tucker and I agreed that if we had just taken everyone to the doctor then we probably would have suffered A LOT less. Oops. Now I’m back from Blissdom and the kids are sick… Continue reading This Is Why Kids Shouldn’t Play with Other Kids
We’ve had drainage issues in our backyard since we moved into this house. It’s a brand new yard. You would think they could get the damn thing right. I’m amazed the dog hasn’t gotten sucked into the ground…yet. Five million years from now, aliens will dig her up and wonder why in the hell Earthlings… Continue reading Backyard Bog and Unhelpful Kids
The whole way home I was thinking about different sage things I needed to write once I dug out Darwin, the laptop. Then, as I was making my uninterrupted cups of coffee this morning, I had even more amazing things to share. Things that would blow your fucking mind. You would read those things and… Continue reading You Make Your Own Conference, Bitches
Since I head to Blissdom this Thursday, my mom and Tucker’s folks have been kind enough to look after the kids while I’m gone. The grandparents all get grandkid time. Tucker gets time off from EVERYONE once I’m at the conference and I get to rejoice in a peaceful mind when it comes to the… Continue reading We’re Kidless for Eight Nights!
What do you do when your kid turns blue? You freak out, right? We had errands to run and we all needed showers so I figured we’d kill three birds with one shower…or something. Imagine my surprise when Cara hopped in the shower and looked like she had a blue tan. So maybe she wasn’t… Continue reading Cara Turned Blue!
One of my favorite and hated ad campaigns has been the Pedigree ads for shelter dogs. Favorite because I love shelter dogs. My first dog, Sydney, was a shelter dog. She had been a “bait dog” for a local pit bull fighting ring and was evidence. I was fostering her and if I hadn’t been… Continue reading Pedigree and Westminster Break Up Pound Puppies Rejoice
I was listening to talk radio during the ride home from Cara and Ollie’s dentist [No cavities, by the way.] and the host was ranting about a teen who killed some people during a car accident. Apparently the teen’s family was trying to get the teen charged as a minor since he/she was 16 and… Continue reading Should Teens Be Charged As Adults for Vehicular Homicide?
With over 3.7 MILLION views on YouTube, almost 74 THOUSAND comments on the video, over 49 THOUSAND “likes” on Facebook, 21.5 THOUSAND Facebook shares and 22.5 THOUSAND comments on the original Facebook post, obviously this dad has sparked a conversation. I finally watched the video and read the dad’s side of the story[below] and what… Continue reading Facebook Parenting or About the Guy Who Shot the Laptop
I called Tucker’s cell today to beg him to save me from Oliver. I’m not joking. In case you don’t know, Ollie’s three. I called my husband to save me from my three year old because I was tired of being slapped in the face, punched in the back and screamed at. Tucker didn’t answer… Continue reading I Was Scared of My Three Year Old Today
I don’t even know where to start and I’m hesitant to even begin but, as I’m typing this, I fully realize I’ve already begun so I might as well keep going. Right? This is where you’re wondering what the hell I’m not wanting to start but have already started. Let’s just get to it, shall… Continue reading Get a Second Vet Opinion and Sophie the Pitbull Doesn’t Have Cancer
