I come from a long line of non breast feeders. (I’d love it if you’d check out that link and post a response – I’m still curious if my theory is right) Before November 2006 I had no intention of breastfeeding Alex. I was completely skeeved out by the idea of a baby sucking on my boobs. I had two friends who had felt the same way and they’d pumped.. Read More

Laughter is a healer – read this – I challenge you to not laugh. Scout is currently shaking the bed from laughter.
Bare Naked Blogging
(You may have noticed the new little “Facebook Sucks” icon over to the right. Click the button and see what you think for yourself. This latest campaign is what prompts this post.) I have one SIL (Mrs. Deacon) who will nurse anywhere, without covering up. She’s also tiny and so subtle about it that I’ve been in the room with her and didn’t realize she was doing it. My other..

A month of pink
Happy October! Happy Breast Cancer awareness month! This is one of those issues that I should be more passionate about. I should be more in tune in my own life and I should work through things that might contribute to the health of my breasts (all kinds of body image hurt will come spewing forth tomorrow). The women in my family have a history of breast cancer and heart problems… Read More
Girl Power Week
I really don’t mean to have a theme this week, but everything that is on my mind and in my heart to say is all about women’s issues. So, here’s the breakdown of how I think this week’s postings are going to look: Today was all for Grandma, the one we’re all pretty sure never said mofo. (And ya’ll are SO hilarious for your replies to that!) Monday – Gonna.. Read More
Dear Grandma,
Ninety two years ago today, you were born. I have known the details of your life, but it’s only as I get older that I really start to understand you. To me, you were always, “Grandma” and you lived with a determination and a work ethic that made me believe you were born with grey hair and that hard work was what you did for fun. When you were nine.. Read More
How I became an adult
It wasn’t the graduate degree, the husband, the signing my name to a big ass mortgage or the baby. Not even the social security card. Nope. It was this. Now. I know. Most of you are like, huh? what? Big deal. Oh but just let me tell you. I get skeeved out by: 1) touching raw meat 2) “bad bites” of food (you know, when you bite into something and.. Read More
Meme Part Two
Same rules apply as last time 🙂 I got tagged by Doodaddy for this 10-question meme. 1. What were you doing ten years ago? I was teaching 3rd grade, Scout and I were in a weird place in our relationship (again), I’m pretty sure this is the week I had a bladder infection so bad I was convinced the middle of Hell had taken up reference in my body (and..

Fantasy Island
Veronica got me all dreamy today, so I thought I’d write a little story of a fantasy day. I woke gently, to the sound and smell of fresh rain. The room was slightly cold, but not too much. I snuggled closer to Scout, as he held baby Kaiser gently in his arms. He shifted against me and we fell asleep for a snooze in our comfortable, little boy pee free.. Read More
Meme tag
* Mr. Lady at Whiskey in my sippy cup answered my interview questions, and OMG is she funny. She even pays homage to my boobie fascination, go check her out and give her some love. I got tagged by Jennifer for my first meme. I think blog meme’s are fun for two reasons: 1) I don’t care if it’s supposed to rhyme with ‘dream’, I always read it me-me –.. Read More
Site Bling
I’ve been awarded bling. You wouldn’t think that a small graphic could make me smile so wide – but it really does. In the words of Sally Fields “If mother’s ruled the world….” no, no, not that one. This one: You like me! You really like me! First, Jackie gave me this sexy little bling: Which I would like to also pass on to Mrs. Flipphead who has spent many.. Read More
Technical assistance … help
Dear reader, I love my iPhoto, but today it’s being an (expletive deleted) (expletive deleted). As you can tell, my header is different, since it is the Kaiser’s 5 month birthday, I thought I would post a new header photo. For some reason when I crop it to constrain to 770×200 it makes it LOOK like it’s doing it, however it’s still full pixels, which means when I post it.. Read More
Tuesday’s Tatas
Bra shopping was a complete success. Mrs. Forbes and I entered the store with our two strollers and watched business come to an immediate halt as the baby gushing began. I browsed the drawer for my size and pulled out five that seemed like likely candidates. This bra was the only winner. I got it in blue, it’s so pretty. I had them go look for anything else that might.. Read More
