This weekend we were all set to head off to Alabama for the birthday party of some friends of ours’ son. We got the truck/SUV loaded, the kids packed and set off Friday morning at a pretty early hour. Coffee was drank and the kids were napping and life was good. Somewhere right outside of… Continue reading Another Ill-Fated Trip
Roadblock
Week before last we took our SUV in to the SUV doctor and got the fluids flushed and all of this nifty car stuff. We encountered a complete roadblock on the interstate while the road crew people were repainting lines. Keep in mind that this was at 9am during the week. We were at the… Continue reading Roadblock
Monster and Tucker’s Blog
I started this blog/site/whatever the hell you wanna call it because someone asked me if I had a blog. At the time, I didn’t even really know what a blog was though I had heard about the mythical beast. I’ve been writing stories and in journals since I was about five and this just seemed… Continue reading Monster and Tucker’s Blog
The New Stage Moms/Dads
I’ve written this in my head about twenty times today and then decided time and time again to not post it. When you talk about intelligence and kids in the same sentence, people tend to get their panties in a wad. First off, personal experience. I was always the child who preferred adults and much… Continue reading The New Stage Moms/Dads
Misshapen Head
Today was the day that I found my first, honest to God, grey hair on my head. I won’t actually write where I found the other one a few years back because I have family who reads this blog and who REALLY needs THAT one spelled out for them? ANYWAY, the first time that I… Continue reading Misshapen Head
Winter Hats
I’m rather hot natured by default so when I’m wearing two shirts, my Northface coat, a scarf and a sock hat, you know that it’s damn cold outside. Poor Cara wants to go outside and play but she gets as far as the open door and hugs herself and hollars “BRR!!!”. No outside time for… Continue reading Winter Hats
Rumble Strips and MiniSD Cards
I know, I know. I haven’t updated for a couple of days but in my defense, I really did think that today was Tuesday. A really, really long Tuesday. Today was spent taking our SUV to the dealership to have it “checked out”. As Cara says, it had to go see “Dr. Sneed” – Cara… Continue reading Rumble Strips and MiniSD Cards
On Oliver
I honestly don’t know what to make of this little guy. While I was pregnant with him I was a major bitch. Friends didn’t want to know me and I think that Tucker reconsidered his love match more than once. What’s funny is that Oliver is probably one of the happiest babies that I’ve ever… Continue reading On Oliver
I Love My Husband
So if it sickens you to read about someone talking about how much they love their spouse then I suggest you look through my archives since there’s TONS of conversations that demonstrate how juvenile my husband can be – anal bleaching and penis touching are two of my favorites. This weekend is Tucker’s “drill weekend”. … Continue reading I Love My Husband

All About Olivia
If you’ve never read any of the Olivia the Pig books then I’m here to tell you that I’m the EXPERT!I have attained this distinction by the simple fact that I have read the first Olivia book to Cara 29 times. And I think that we got the book for her on Tuesday. It all… Continue reading All About Olivia
Pizza Dough
I made pizza dough for the first time and it didn’t kill us. Woo hoo! Yesterday I marinated chicken breasts in garlic, salt, red pepper flakes, ground coriander and apple cider vinegar. They actually marinated overnight since they were frozen but around 3pm yesterday I dried them off and popped them in the oven to… Continue reading Pizza Dough
