This week I had an email from a friend. I liked my answer and since I’m pressed for time and words and ideas, I clearly decided to make it a blog post. *** So, tell me with 100% honesty… What do you think of the Mommy thing? I am afraid that maybe I am only good at the “your my kids for no more than a few hours or a.. Read More
Totally didn’t know this was going on. I only recognized blogs from humor, parenting and …. gossip….
OMG. Remember the Always post from a while back? The genius letter I wish I would have written? Well, they didn’t learn a flinging flanging thing! There is now a commercial where the pad is on a saddle like a bucking bronco and it’s a country theme and at the end it says “Have a happy period!” What would be better marketing tactics? I’m personally thinking free chocolate with purchase… Read More

(Oh, gentle reader, if you are a hard core CIO parent or if your kids have really, truly never slept in your bed and co-sleepers make you crazy – I beg you – please go read the archives today – because this post will totally make you itch and you’ll hurt yourself rolling your eyes, and I don’t want you to hurt yourself. This is all about me wanting to.. Read More
It is 835pm. Scout, Kaiser and Tavish are all asleep on the bed beside me. Alex is leaning toward Scout, Tavish is curled in the angle behind Scout’s knees. My home is quiet, save for the clicking of my fingers on the keyboard. At 835pm people! I have hours to do … whatever I want! Guilt free! I’m not even losing sleep! I can make my NaNoWriMo goal for today.. Read More
There’s a history to this meme here: Now, my reading really runs more the Dorothea Benton Frank, Jackie Collins (70s – 80s vintage) and LaVyrle Spencer – so I’m going to have to brainwash dazzle ya’ll to show you that I can actually read some books too. Guh, why can’t this be from movies … I could rock the casbah. 10. Daniel Cleaver – Bridget Jones’ Diary – Helen Fielding.. Read More
I got some very unexpected shiny bling from Walks Far Woman. Which I’ve been slow at getting acknowledged and posted. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I’m passing this on to Dawn of TwoShews because I luff her name, I luff her kids pix, I luff her glasses, and she’s gettin’ a new Mutt Bowl this month, and if anything ever deserved a pretty pink award, it’s a shiny new..

I see traffic from Germany on my site. I am so jealous. Some 160 years ago, my great great grandfather’s parents and sister and brother boarded a boat in Germany and got off in New Orleans. Last summer, Scout and I went to Europe, we went to Cologne (Koln … I can’t find the umlaut on my keyboard) where his family came from and Hannover where my family came from… Read More
It’s my first awarding of a perfect post. For the record, I picked this as my perfect post before I knew we had the same job AND had both sat in the same crusty booths of the same late night diner while we were in college TOGETHER and never knew each other. The stay at home mom gig is hard. Scout has looked me square in the eye and said,.. Read More
Get down wit yo bad self, Alex! Hm. Now what could this stuff be? (Note his mouth is open in this shot.) I turn around a minute later to this: That’s my boy! Sniff!
So, say I needed to submit 3 writing samples of things I’ve written … would you, by chance, tell me what, if anything, I’ve written that you might recommend I use? And. I’m doing NaNoWriMo AND NaBloPoMo. Have I lost my ever loving mind? Nah, but I’ll bet ya’ll will be reading some novel excerpts 🙂 So today, I’m keeping it short, ‘cuz you’ll be hearing PLENTY from me in.. Read More
More shots for the Kaiser yesterday. He still took it really well. He was well past nap time by the time the needles hit his thighs, so he was more annoyed than at the 4 month appointment – but still less annoyed than being trapped in the car for a long road trip. He’s already been up and trying to crawl, so his thighs must feel okay, he’s had two.. Read More
