Many of my dad’s “weekends” were spent at my paternal grandmother’s house. Her house is surrounded by about two hundred acres of deep woods and I can remember many nights falling asleep to the music of cicadas and frogs. Still to this day, those sounds put me at ease and take me back to nights… Continue reading My Kingdom for a Can of Bugspray

Lists to Lose and Sick Kids
I’m really good at one thing and that’s procrastination. I got an email from the hotel where we’re staying in Chicago letting me know what the weather’s going to be like [79 on Saturday!] and I got this nervous [but good nervous] butterfly feeling in my gut and it was at that point that I… Continue reading Lists to Lose and Sick Kids
I’m Going to BlogHer, Y’all
It’s official, y’all. I’m going to BlogHer ’09! WOO HOO!!! The first year I was new to the game and had just started blogging. The second year, I was pregnant and had a very small Cara to deal with. Now, I have an Ollie who will be ten months and can hang with his dad… Continue reading I’m Going to BlogHer, Y’all
What Would You Like To See?
Did you ever have a boyfriend who you just kept coming back to no matter what they did or how much you didn’t want to come back? That’s how I feel about this site. OK. Maybe that’s not fair. I started this website as an extension of a message board journal. The journal was decently… Continue reading What Would You Like To See?
This is What Happened
Cara’s dentist appointment went famously yesterday. Of course, most of you probably had no clue that she had an appointment unless you follow me on Twitter. I’ve been sucked into the Anita Blake series by Laurell K. Hamilton and I’m on book 7 and just keep getting drug deeper into the whole thing. I’d like… Continue reading This is What Happened
Tucker Got the Job
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
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
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
Adiós Nasty Cord Stump Thing
Just got back from Oliver’s appointment. Oliver was nine pounds and one ounce when he was born. At his three day appointment, Oliver had dropped to eight pounds and something. Today, the man child weighs nine pounds and thirteen ounces. I must say that I am not only proud of Oliver for figuring out the… Continue reading Adiós Nasty Cord Stump Thing
It Wasn’t You It Was Me
If you’ve been trying to access this site in Internet Explorer [WHY?!] then I’m sure that you’ve been running into that cute little error box and then the site would abort on ya. Well, the problem was Sitemeter and said code has been removed. SO, to all of you who have NO clue what I’m… Continue reading It Wasn’t You It Was Me
Impromptu Trip
This weekend sucked. How’s that for a great introductory sentence? Tucker was in Millington at Drill and Cara and I were at home. For some reason, him leaving on Friday night really had an affect on me and Cara seemed to be more affected than last time. To keep from moping around the house all… Continue reading Impromptu Trip
Mrs. Judgy McJudgers
We’ve all done it; judging. Whether it’s casting an disapproving look at the mom whose kid is screaming in the store, or the parent who “lets their child run wild”, everyone has those moments where you can’t believe what you’re seeing and there’s no way that you would let that happen. I’m that person…a lot.… Continue reading Mrs. Judgy McJudgers
