On the left side of the sanity bell curve
Mom left about three hours ago. She’s been here since Saturday or Sunday and we’ve had a pretty good visit. Yesterday, Cara, Mom and I all went down to St. Augustine and walked ourselves stupid; my feet still hurt. I just felt like bitching a bit. *** From now on you won’t be reading about… Continue reading Catching Up
Reading The Middle Place has gotten me to think about “the middle place”. That place where everyone knows you are an adult; you know you are an adult but you try to forget that fact. You have a husband and child and your own new family yet you still need your parents’ approval. I wonder… Continue reading Looking for Balance
It’s cleaning time, kiddos. Kind of like “business time“, but not…that would really be a completely different type of post. Mom’s supposed to be here tomorrow or Sunday. [I can’t really remember] I know that she’s leaving for here early Saturday morning. I also know that the state of the apartment ain’t gonna cut it.… Continue reading It’s Cleaning Time
Man, oh man I feel like shit today. I woke up wanting to puke and have done so several times. I don’t have a fever, but I seem to lack to ability to keep myself from thinking about food. [Damn, I did it again while I was typing that! And now that I’m …
I grew up on a musical diet of The Beatles, Steeley Dan and Fleetwood Mac. Heck, my first concert was James Taylor when I was four. Tucker is as crazy about music as I am and we want to pass that love onto Cara. While I know that some parents swear by Baby Einstein DVDs,… Continue reading That Baby DVD and CD
I sincerely feel a little bit bad, but I called the cops on my neighbors this morning at 12:45. OK. So maybe not the cops; I called the “community officer”. But, he’s a cop who gets to live here for free since he deals with petty bullshit calls like mine. Luckily, he didn’t come knocking… Continue reading Called the Police
I am in a line kinda mood. Could you tell? First, it was my Twitter background and then I had to change this site’s background. Lines just seem nice today for some reason. Also, something about the previous background just wasn’t right. Know what I mean? I am completely aware that I am the only… Continue reading Lines and Other Great Things
Most mornings I wake to the sounds of Tucker in the shower. I grab the baby monitor, make sure Cara’s still asleep and I pray for ten more minutes before she too wakes up. I say most mornings because that sure as hell didn’t happen this morning. At 4:45 am, I was jolted out of… Continue reading Bass and a Dead Guy
Wanna know what I’m listening to right now? Imus in the Morning!!! Sweet! *Rant* Just let me say right now, I don’t want to hear you bitching about me listening to Imus. I’ve listened to him for years. I watched the episode that he got fired for and I didn’t blink an eye because what… Continue reading Imus. Bad Behavior. Period.
This is what I call “baby proof”:
Twitter is an evil, evil thing, people! I signed up for the thing a while back but I never did anything with it. Now, I can’t leave the damn thing alone! *** If you’ve read my Twitter, I’m making a chuck roast right now. Correction. My crock pot is making a chuck roast right now.… Continue reading Tuesday Turmoil
Today is going to be a good day. I’m just going to keep repeating that and keep my fingers crossed that it comes true. This weekend was a stressful one and it smelled like Worcestershire sauce. [A full bottle of the stuff shattered on my kitchen floor on Saturday] Tucker worked the entire weekend and… Continue reading In Need of Some Serenity
