Since this is a humorous blog about raising a family and because I have two kids in diapers I am sure you were thinking this would be a funny post about poop. It’s not. This is about metaphorical poop, the kind we sling at each other as if we were apes in zoo. I am […]
“Poops and giggles”. What was I thinking?!?! Here is what I was thinking: Hmmm… probably four people will read my blog and all four of them are related to me. I was not thinking I would be hailed in church or in the grocery store with, “Hey, POOPS AND GIGGLES!” Today that greeting was followed […]
Red Velvet fat free yogurt. This is an OUTRAGE and obviously politically fueled. I’ll tell you what is going on, the yogurt companies are looking at woman indulging in luscious desserts even when not pregnant, and are trying to FORCE us to Heidi Klum that baby weight away. Oh sure, they candy coat it saying they […]
I called the pediatrician’s office today to set up Amelia’s 4 month well check. This reminded me of our trip to the Dr.’s office right after Amelia was born, and that situation seems oh so blog worthy. We were sitting in the waiting room with a bunch of other moms and their sickly offspring. We […]
During the wee hours of Saturday morning, our Texas town lost power and for about 36 hours we were given some water precautions. Boil it, probably shouldn’t bathe in it, and for the love of your family DON’T DRINK IT. Everything turned out to be fine. Well, everything but my brain, our budget, and a […]
But then we started having babies. Now all of my grey matter belongs to these tiny humans. Rapid fire of questions from Zeke this morning: “Mom, if all the people in the world were in our house, we couldn’t breath, and we wouldn’t have any squirrels, right?” (What does that even mean?!?!) “Where do squirrels […]
Sweet spandex with your form hugging sheen, I have heard you are a privilege and not a right. I say those naysayers know not what they speak. Those trite fools have never come away from a buffet, full. Whence their bellies hit the belt of their jeans, your ever present stretch beckons a second helping […]
Made my first online purchase today… A DOMAIN NAME. That’s right, I have a domain AND I named it. Spending the $28 per year on this was a real mind struggle for me. When I think of “entertainment” money in our budget, my mind immediately goes to Chipotle, orders a burrito, runs to the cupcake […]
The boys are playing at a friend’s house today, so Amelia and I made a trip to Walmart. I hadn’t been to Walmart in over a year (roughly the same time I discovered “the people of Walmart” and feared we would be featured weekly). But today I decided it was time to check out those […]
Zeke came in the house, filthy… Me: “Zeke, what in the world is on your back?”Zeke: “I don’t know. What does it look like?”Me: “Um well, it looks like dirt and slime.”Zeke: “Hmmm…dirt and slime… I really don’t know.”Me: “Well, what have you been doing?”Zeke: “Just being a turtle outside.”Me: “How were you being a […]
