Don’t forget to update your feed so you don’t miss any posts! 1. I am tired. That is all. 2. Ok, that’s not all. So very often, people tell me “I don’t know how you do it!” Well, the truth is, I don’t. And, if you’ll forgive my puling whiny posting, I’m about to get [...]

I’ve been stalked lately. I have a poltergeist. Not just any poltergeist, it’s a snacking poltergeist. Oh yes, my friends, feeding time at the zoo Mama’s house has gotten ugly. My poltergeist is a maniac. A half eaten apple mocked me from the stairs. I stumbled on it at night, when no one should be [...]

Last week, in my quest for bestowing TMI on my tweeples, I sent this message: Wearing capris. Trying to decide if I should run and quckly shave the bottom half of my legs or just change into jeans. #tmi ? Sorry. After careful thought -after all, you shouldn’t impulsively wield a razor willy nilly- I [...]

A week ago Sunday, I had a migraine. Now, this is noteworthy because I haven’t had one in years. I used to get debilitating ones in high school, but after Miss E was born they went away. Until this week. Now, the headache is gone but I’m experiencing weird smells. Monday night I kept smelling natural [...]

Oh, Wal-Mart. What happened between us? I remember the halcyon days of living in small towns and planning – planning!- a trip to your mecca of inexpensive household goods.

I was attending my husband’s father’s memorial service. It was a hard day. Hard because my father-in-law’s girlfriend pulled the plug, without calling family. I found out she had all the tubes removed by accident (I happened to stop by for a visit, and managed to rush home in time to send husband dear to [...]

We are in the market for a new couch. Not a fancy, hand tied by vestal virgins from reclaimed Tuscan driftwood furniture, just something decent that the family (er, the WHOLE family) can sit on. As you can see, we are in desperate need. We currently have a cream colored leather (er, bonded leather aka [...]

Duct tape. Whole books have been written on how to use this magical substance for everything from making a wallet to making a laser. Or maybe that last one was a MacGuyver episode, whatever. My life is held together with duct tape. Hit the mailbox on the way out of the driveway? Duct tape will [...]

**Update** We got our van back on Aug. 12, 46 days after the original repair failed. The mechanic paid for everything, even one item that wasn’t a transmission problem…but 6+ weeks is a ridiculous amount of time. Gird your loins, mah peeps. 2000 words of complaining coming right up, served with a heaping side of [...]

* If you tell your children they cannot have another apple, and they get one anyway, they will try to hide the evidence. * An apple core wrapped in a receiving blanket and left for a few days creates a stain that my laundry skills cannot remove. * If you cloth diaper, you might as [...]
