Tucker got the job! If you’ve been following along on Twitter then you know that Tucker had a five person conference call interview Tuesday. At the end of the interview, they told him that they liked him and that they would send his information to the “big guy” and that “the big guy” would make… Continue reading Tucker Got the Job
Get a Convertible Car Seat and Save Some Cash
My child turned 7 months yesterday. He had his six month check-up today. I know…confusing. We managed to get a month behind on his well baby check-ups because of an insurance issue a couple of months ago but it’s all good in the hood now. Ollie is a hair shy of 21 pounds and almost… Continue reading Get a Convertible Car Seat and Save Some Cash
Baby Tries to Remove Eye:Parents think that Sucks
Oliver tried to take out his left eye today. Well…not really. He was up a lot last night and when he finally decided this morning to get up for good I decided to stay in bed and enjoy the almost forgotten feeling of NOT being used as a human pacifier. Tucker took the laughing child… Continue reading Baby Tries to Remove Eye:Parents think that Sucks
When the Job You Get Offered is Worse that the One You Don’t Have
My dear, dear husband has an interview tomorrow. Hold the balloons and cake. Work Force-the state’s unemployment agency-called Tucker today and asked him to come in tomorrow to interview for a Veteran’s Benefit Coordinator position. On the surface this seems like a great fit for Tucker. He’s a veteran, he has a degree, he knows… Continue reading When the Job You Get Offered is Worse that the One You Don’t Have
Do You Let Your Child Bathe Alone?
I was on a mothering forum that I’m a member of and one of the other members posted a poll asking if anyone lets their kids [2 years old and older] bathe without the parents in the bathroom. Most people responded that they would never leave their kids alone in the tub. This is what… Continue reading Do You Let Your Child Bathe Alone?
Cara Working
Kermit Jagger
From my friend Alana who works at a bank: A frog goes into a bank and approaches the teller. He can see from her nameplate that her name is Patricia Whack. “Miss Whack, I’d like to get a $30,000 loan to take a holiday.” Patty looks at the frog in disbelief and asks his name.… Continue reading Kermit Jagger
Woe is Me
I don’t like asking for money. I don’t like taking money. Basically, I don’t like feeling indebted to someone. If the money is a gift or if it’s in payment for a service then I’m alright with that. What brought all of this up was an email that I got while I was napping in… Continue reading Woe is Me

How I Spent My Day
I hate job hunting. HATE it. When I was in high school and college, I would always take the first job that was offered to me just so I wouldn’t have to fill out anymore of those damn applications. It’s a depressing, monotonous process that sucks my soul dry. Yesterday, I spent the entire day… Continue reading How I Spent My Day
When Do I Take It Out?
I bring you an interesting question today. When are you [meaning me] too old for an eyebrow ring? I’ve had mine since I was 18 and now, almost ten years later, I’m still wearing it. When I worked at Mayo Clinic, I would remove the barbell for work but put it back in on the… Continue reading When Do I Take It Out?
Making Connections
The connections that Cara is making right now astound me. We always have our TV on. It doesn’t matter if the TV is on the news or if it’s on cartoons-it’s on and I blame a lot of that on me. For some reason, I have the ADD where I need to have noise. If… Continue reading Making Connections
