On the left side of the sanity bell curve
Page jumps have confounded me for entirely too long. I’ve seen a billion different examples and nothing worked for my borked brain. Then my brain got the page jump concept and I’m going to share it with you. First, I’ll show you an example [Go right to tutorial!] and then I’ll show you how to… Continue reading Tutorial: Creating Page Jumps or How To Link Something In a Post To Something Else in That Post
Tucker always says that this is my site and that I can write whatever I want and that if someone doesn’t like what I have to say then they don’t have to read it. Tucker obviously doesn’t have a blog and therefore doesn’t worry about offending anyone or hurting people’s feelings. Scratch that. Even if… Continue reading Does Jesus Have a Uterus?
There were a lot of things I was thinking about writing today: how KmartGamer is no more…or it might just be on a break, how I’m a New Person person for Blissdom this year and how that scares the shit out of me but I know it’ll be gravy once I get to Blissdom and… Continue reading Amy the Ironless and/or Amy the Rambler
SOMEONE SAVE US!!! The kids will not stop interrupting us and it is about to drive Tucker and me absolutely crazy. Like running around the apartment and pulling our hair out by the roots crazy. HALP! It took Tucker at least 30 minutes to tell me a ten minute story because Cara and Ollie wouldn’t… Continue reading Mayday! Mayday! Someone Save Us From Our Children!
We’ve known Ollie is a “firebug” since we went camping last year. Ollie seemed to be drawn to the dancing flames and loved the fact that whatever he threw on the fire would be gone in a few seconds. Sure the fire was hot but he never got burned so it was all fun and… Continue reading Ollie the Firebug or How My Son Tried To Kill Us All
When you cross that line from gamer to gaming parent there are certain issues with which you have to deal. The big one? Keeping your toddler from seeing you pop a dude’s head like an overripe watermelon. By my estimation–and experience–you have about a year before you have to reconsider your choice of games so… Continue reading Kmart Gamer Post: Kid Friendly Games You Might Not Hate Playing
I am so tired of coming up with what to make for dinner every night so we’ve gone back to–yet again–Healthy Calendar Diabetic Cooking: A Full Year of Simple, Menus and Easy Recipes and let me tell you, that’s not a bad thing. For an entire year, you have a day-by-day recipe book complete with… Continue reading Tarrogon and Washing My Mouth Out With Soap
Spanking is one of those issues in parenting that’s best not talked about unless you’re ready to hear some extremely vocal opinions. Just like “natural” birth. And breastfeeding. And bottle feeding. And circumcision. And daycare. And how much TV your kids watch. And candy. I’m going to stop now. Chances are good you’re a parent… Continue reading I Spank My Kids
After this weekend and how Cara acted at Walmart–She screamed and cried through the entire store because she didn’t get what she wanted.–I almost want to add, “Shopping at Walmart with Cara.” to my list of six things I very much dislike. However, I came up with the list last night and don’t feel like… Continue reading Six Good Things I Love. Six Bad Things I Hate. All A Part of Me
We evacuated to Arkansas to my mom’s house so we’d have power. When we got there, Arkansas was flooded. Not Mom’s house but about half the town Tucker’s from is/was flooded. At least we know the weather wasn’t our fault since the floods happened before we got there. This is us going over the Mississippi… Continue reading Videos of Us Driving Back From Arkansas
One of the problems with staying at home with Cara and Ollie is I know how they act but I don’t know how “normal” kids act. And by “normal,” I don’t mean my kids are abnormal–though they are pretty weird which is Tucker’s fault–but I don’t know if some of their interesting quirks are things all… Continue reading Cara’s Pretty Problem
Thanks goodness for Notepad ++. Cause that’s where I’m typing this right now. Though you just assume I typed this into the magical blogging thing and out popped this post thing. Silly reader. Our wireless router has finally given up the ghost and we’ll have a connection for a minute and then no connection. Translation?… Continue reading Ollie. A Bead. The Emergency Room.
