Last summer I thought long and hard about starting a blog. I really wanted to. But I have a major confession I must make. The whole concept did not start as an effort to type out my daily rants and ravings over the awesomeness that is my children or the ridiculousness that is GleN Beck. [...]

Talking it up
Back when I was pregnant with Hank, shortly before he made his appearance in this world, I remember being struck with one big fear: what if I don’t like him? I don’t know if all expecting Moms have this or similar fears, but the thoughts alone are generally followed by such an extreme amount of [...]

Now we’re cookin’
As many people who have received my e-mails or Facebook messages know, I have been completely and utterly duped into hosting a jewelry party. To be fair, I need to stop complaining about it. I mean, if I had TRULY been paying attention to what the saleslady was saying, and not thinking, “Oh, that’s cute!” [...]

Fun with anesthesia
So I got to take the day off yesterday. Not so much for fun and relaxation, however. I was treated instead to minor surgery! I won’t go too into details about the surgery because: My brother reads this, and he was violated enough as a child by having to deal with four sisters and not [...]

Dear public school,
So…. My son came home with a picture in his bag. It was a picture he was proud of, said they were learning about this great guy in history class and they drew pictures and wrote a nice story about this guy’s very important accomplishments. Then he presented the picture to me: Seriously, what the [...]

Young love
I am a horrible mother. Horrible in the sense that I tease my 7-year-old boy with the relentless tenacity of, well, a 7-year-old boy. Especially when it comes to the ladies in his life. Last year it was young Bella. She could not have been cuter or sweeter, and the way they gazed into each other’s [...]

Product placement – literally!
So those of us who tend toward the thrifty side are well acquainted with the “store brand.” Back in the day, these would have just been referred to as “generics.” I remember the Franks Grocery Store — the very one where my older than Dirt sister and her even older husband met back when the [...]

Awesome observations from the mouth of the smartest 7-year-old ever
On his mother’s failed attempt to scrub the window in his bedroom: “You know, it looks like you just spread the dirt all around.” On Halloween: “This is MY kind of day!” On why it is pointless to tease him about not being able to say “conveyor belt.” Hank: “So when we get to the snow [...]

It’s the bee’s knees
So just a short while ago I asked for warmer weather to get here and to get here soon. Then I went upstairs, where I was greeted with this: Not quite what I meant, Mother Nature. That guy looks mean and angry as hell to be awake on March 3. I think this is what [...]

Random thoughts for a Wednesday
I’m tired of politics. I mean honestly, everyone is so damn nasty. As I get older, I seem to already be losing my memory on certain things. Except for “Baby Got Back.” I still know all the words to that. If you want to get your husband to shut up, it is as easy as [...]
