Everyone has their way of winding down from the day. Cara and Ollie like to freak the hell out for no reason cause they get punchy when they get tired so they wind down by driving us crazy. Sophie does this weird slurpy, licking thing and it’s just…yeah. Sophie, stop that? I sit on the… Continue reading Ukulele Orchestra Video Made of Awesome

Sophie the Pit Bull Ate a Box of Chicken Juice
All of Cara’s permission slips are due for her field trip[link] tomorrow so today was Errand Day. The way things work when we get ready to leave the house is I make sure Ollie’s gone to the bathroom, I make sure he’s put his pants back on, I grab my phone, I make sure our bathroom… Continue reading Sophie the Pit Bull Ate a Box of Chicken Juice
Soul Discussions and Dust: An Elysian Tail
A while back I downloaded the demo for Dust: An Elysian Tail. I had heard nothing but good things from Sm1tty about the game and I didn’t have any cash on me and wanted something solid to play around with while I waited for my next check. You know a demo’s doing it right… Continue reading Soul Discussions and Dust: An Elysian Tail
Diary Entry 8.31.12
Paperwork from Cara’s School and the Missing Blue Thing I’m assuming the beginning of every school year includes a ridiculous amount of paperwork and forms and “give us money for this” and “give us money for that” and “Please donate because if you don’t everyone will know you hate your children and secretly want to… Continue reading Diary Entry 8.31.12
Condoleezza Rice’s RNC Speech Video In Case You Didn’t Get To See It All Either
I was watching Condoleezza Rice’s speech and PBS cut her off to go to a “commercial” right after a very emotional part of the speech and I was SO ANGRY! AMY SMASH! Since I can’t be the only person who missed the whole speech last night, I’m putting it up here. You’re welcome.

Quit My Meds?
Just that title makes me sound like one of those crazy people who say they’re “cured” but they’re really not and then they go off and sleep with fifty people or something until they come down from the mania and then they don’t take a shower for a month. So apparently there are a million-billion… Continue reading Quit My Meds?
Diary Entry 7.31.12
Yesterday sucked. The end. For the most part it’s still Cara and when she reads this in a couple of years, she’ll understand just how awesome her parents are for letting her live that long. Yeah. When I was younger, I never bought into that whole “Respect your elders,” thing. That makes me a very… Continue reading Diary Entry 7.31.12
Ollie Loves Cheese–A Video
Just about every morning I wake to find at least one kid in bed with us. Obviously, at some point during the night, the kids are getting out of their beds, wandering around the house and then finally ending up in our bed. The wandering around the house thing hadn’t been a concern since they… Continue reading Ollie Loves Cheese–A Video
How To Buy a New Monitor–A Most Awesome Guide
I don’t remember when we bought this monitor but I know we’ve had it since at least 2008. And it’s missing its base. The monitor is currently sitting in a “base” Tucker created out of a cardboard box and I have a hair brush between the monitor and the wall so I’m almost able to get a… Continue reading How To Buy a New Monitor–A Most Awesome Guide
Cara Lost Two Teeth in Two Days
I remember the day before kindergarten picture day I had a loose top tooth and it was ready to come out.
