So, I’ve been thinking for a couple weeks that I read a lot of awesomeness on the interwebs and have more virtual crushes on people than I really care to admit because, really, nobody wants to be that girl whose all emotionally slutty and ‘oh, how I love your blog. Let me count the ways…’ [...]
This week around the blogosphere I’ve seen a lot of pictures—pictures of children waiting at school bus stops, climbing the school bus steps, waving from school bus windows. It’s like school buses gone wild up in here and, not having school-age children, I’m feeling a little left out. A few posts even made me tear up [...]
I lost my mind last week and scheduled the following pleasantries within mere days of each other:
-wellness checkups for G (3 year) and LB (1 year). Including shots. For both.
-teeth cleaning (for me) which lead to…
-a crown buildup, aka, grinding your tooth down Old Testament style with a rock and a chisel
-pap smear (for me [...]
So I’ve been hanging out with my kids—doing things that have nothing to do with Dora the Explorer or any of her cousins—and outside. Like, in nature with trees and grass and no air conditioning. I’m sure they’ve forgotten about our excursions already—those sweaty memories. Never mind my crippled foot and that I practically suffered [...]
(I posted this at House of Dolls earlier this week so, if you read it there already, um, yeah…you’ll get over it.)
The husband and I celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary a couple of weeks ago while we were in Florida. I use the word ‘celebrated’ loosely as the mere acknowledgement of said anniversary went something [...]
I often have conversations with myself. Internally of course so I don’t frighten the husband or other innocent bystanders perusing the aisles of Target on a Tuesday morning with my nonsensical, one-way banter.
These conversations generally begin in the shower where my mind is somewhat uncluttered and ‘free to be you and me’. I liken them [...]
I came home from urgent care last Thursday where the doctor told me I had a strain in my foot. I get to wear a fancy shoe fashioned with Velcro and polyester and an orthopedic type platform that doesn’t seem to be helping at all because every time I step I’m like ‘The pain pills [...]
Every once in a while the husband has a good idea.
Every once in a while I actually listen to said good idea.
The other night we were talking about my blog. It was midnight. We were both tired but have this masochistic way of staying up regardless of the looming bout of narcolepsy and under-eye circles [...]
Apparently, the Obama girls are going to start working hard for the money. Babysitting.
Who exactly they’re babysitting—I have no idea. Probably Bristol Palin’s kid.
I never truly fulfilled this longtime teenage right of female passage into the workforce. Yes, I made sure my brothers didn’t kill themselves drinking bleach or cracking their skulls whilst jumping on [...]
Call me lazy and shallow but, I’m thinking of proposing a stimulus package to Congress about the wonders of plastic surgery. How, with plastic surgery, I would not have to sweat half to death under a ceiling fan in my home while doing this whole P90X thing in a sad attempt to bring a little [...]
