On the left side of the sanity bell curve
Today, five years ago, Caroline Elizabeth was forcefully removed from my uterus. Almost two weeks late and that kid still didn’t want to come out. That should have tipped me off about what I was in for… We had Cara’s party this weekend and she got lots of awesome stuff. Even though we made it… Continue reading Happy Fifth Birthday, Cara!
So what did you do yesterday? I bought a house. Thanks for asking. Heh. And how about another question you can’t answer cause you’re not here to answer me? OK. Two questions since that was a question. If you have a thousand dollars cash, why in the world would you need a “certified check?” Isn’t… Continue reading New House. New Stroller. New Dollhouse.
On Saturday, We went to Alana and Parker’s son’s fourth birthday party. There was yummy cake, lots of kids and HUGE BOUNCY HOUSES! Fun was had by all.
Cara’s birthday party is this weekend…her fourth birthday party…the one I’m trying to not think about too much since then I’ll have to admit I’m about to have a four year old. And it’s not that I have an issue with her getting older. I’ve said before I love all these different phases. I even… Continue reading Halloween Hello Kitty Witch Cake Topper
This isn’t a happy post or a funny post or a post about food; I wish it was one of those or all of those. Anything other than what this post has to be. Initially, I wasn’t going to say who this post is about. I was going to disguise the person with just a… Continue reading Sometimes You Have To Save Yourself
I’ve written a “HEY! He’s born!” post and a post for his first birthday that didn’t go exactly as I had expected and now I suppose I’ll do a post for his second birthday. Might as well keep this an annual thing. This is a short post since I don’t have much to say but… Continue reading #2 for Oliver
My kids are weird. And yes, I am stating the obvious…especially when you take into account these pictures. They got these “glasses” at my friend Alana’s son’s birthday party and while I’m pretty sure they’ve long since been thrown away, for a good three hours, those glasses were the coolest things my kids had ever… Continue reading Weird but Cute Kids
Any blogging “expert” will tell you that the key to blogging “success” is to write and write often. Based on my performance recently, I suppose I’m on the fast track to blogging failure. It’s just that right now, I feel like I have this basket [mine’s one of those old timey wicker affairs that I… Continue reading My Basket
This weekend was Oliver’s first birthday party. I didn’t say “Oliver’s first birthday” since he doesn’t turn one until the 12 but Tucker will be at Navy Drill this coming weekend and Tucker wasn’t going to miss his son’s party. It was the way that a first birthday party should be. We had cake and… Continue reading Ollie’s First Birthday Party and the Cake
I did something this weekend that I rarely do – I stood up to my dad. It’s not that I let my dad walk all over me, it’s that he’s usually too afraid of me to be an absolute ass in my general direction. I’ve never chased after him with a knife [though maybe he’s… Continue reading A Game I’d Rather Not Play
It’s not a secret to those who know me that I had what, at best, could be called an interesting childhood and, at worst, could be called abusive. I’ve gotten past the immature urge to blame all of my woes on my parents [usually] and Tucker and I have created our own [usually] awesome family.… Continue reading Second Chances with Cooler Toys
When Cara was around eight weeks or so, the Crazy family attended a birthday party for the daughter (I’ll call her Sara) of some friends of ours. The friends are young [because you know, I’m so ancient] and Tucker and I don’t always [pretty much never] agree with their parenting style. Being the amazingly tactful… Continue reading Baby Monitor Dirt
