On the left side of the sanity bell curve
I discovered yesterday that I had overlapping appointments with my counselor and my shrink for today. Called and got the shrink rescheduled for a later time. Told the receptionist she was a “life saver.” Me: “Wait! I don’t mean like LITERALLY a life saver! Don’t tell him I said that! I just mean you really helped me… Continue reading I Don’t Know What To Title This Other Than Receptionists at Shrinks’ Offices Should Have a Sense of Humor
Tuesday I picked Cara up from school minus a front tooth. She had pulled it in the bathroom–and didn’t even cry–and then promptly lost the thing. This put Tucker and me in a spot since we didn’t have a tooth for the “Tooth Fairy” to retrieve and then replace with money. Wednesday was Cara’s class’s… Continue reading Cara’s Official Letter from the Tooth Fairy
This is what happens when we send the kids to clean their rooms and the playroom: they put on strange outfits and demand to have their pictures taken. Though they look cute and ridiculous, they suck at picking up. Between Tucker and me, I bet we’ve made at least fifteen trips back to their areas. Each… Continue reading Get Happy and Room Cleaning Hipsters
I’m not sure how much this counts as a “diary entry” as much as it’s kind of a news/what’s been happening kind of thing. I have a job. I don’t remember if I announced over here that Josh from Kmart Gamer fame asked me to be the Editor in Chief for his new startup which we’re currently… Continue reading DIARY ENTRY 2.4.13
The last time I played a SimCity game, I think the computer was running Windows 3.0 or something and I couldn’t figure out the game. Cut me some slack…I was seven. SO there was a bit of a learning curve for me when I first started playing with the beta. I was very, very good… Continue reading SimCity Beta First Impressions
Today I meet my new shrink for the first time. This visit is most likely more needed than me continuing with talk therapy. Hell, I only went to that because Tucker suggested I talk to someone before I went off my old medication. I’ve been off those long enough now that I’m definitely back to… Continue reading Diary Entry 1.24.13
So yesterday turned out to be more of an adventure than I had planned. Shortly after I posted about Cara getting up at the ass crack of dawn, the nurse at Cara’s school called me. She thought I should come pick up Cara since Cara was “yawning a lot and was shivering.” The nurse said… Continue reading Cara Has Pneumonia
I shared this picture on Facebook yesterday: Science is cool and planets and other celestial bodies make me happy. What doesn’t make me happy? Cara running into our bedroom at 4:30 this morning screaming, “Wake up, Mommy and Ollie! The sun’s coming up! Wake up!” Go back to the image above and read #1. They should… Continue reading It Was the Moon Not the Sun AKA Cara Needs To Learn Moar Astronomy and Not Wake Us All Up
Facebook is everywhere now and just about everyone I know “in real life” has taken the plunge and signed up–including my mom and father in law [Hi, guys!]. Though it’s become this integral part of most of our lives, there’s always more to learn. Things I bet you didn’t even know you wanted to know–like… Continue reading Facebook All-In-One for Dummies Review
One of the things we’ve struggled with when it comes to Cara is her idea that money is “free”…as in it comes from the money gods in the sky or something. A way we’ve been trying to teach her the finite quality of money is by having Cara put her money in her piggy bank.… Continue reading Modern Version of the Ole Piggy Bank: Virtual Piggy
So I’m sitting at the computer and being productive as hell [That’s a blatant lie but let’s act like it’s true.] and the doorbell rings. There’s these two huge Russian dudes standing at the door. Boris A asks, “Are we too early?” in heavily accented English and laughs over his shoulder to Boris B. It’s… Continue reading The Russians Say They’re Coming Back
2012 has come to a close and now we’re on to 2013. I can vividly remember it being 1990. I feel quite old all of a sudden. We’ve been in the house a year now. Cara started school. Tucker’s almost done with his. I got offered a job. I found my biological mother and siblings.… Continue reading My Favorite Posts on Taste Like Crazy from 2012
