Three days. That’s how long it took for me to succumb to the temptation of taking Zeke to school in my go-to comfy outfit. My black “work out” pants that have bleach or paint staining them and are frayed at the hem. I have yet to work out in them, but I imagine if I […]
Zeke’s had a great first day of school! He is “so super excited to go again tomorrow and the next day and the next day and the next day and the next day…”(this went on for quite a while). One tiny little thing: I may need to talk to his teacher about how literal he […]
On Monday Zeke will start kindergarten. We have worked with him to ensure he has a solid foundation to begin his education. He can count to 100 and beyond. He can sound out words and spell a few too. We have filled out all of the required paperwork. I am a member of the PTA […]
Well dang it. She’s here. I haven’t had to suffer her visit in nearly three years, but she’s back. Aunt Flo. Yeah, that’s right. I went there. Because this is the kind of bold insight that separates this blog from many others. An almost journalistic approach to shed light on things often unspoken. Boldly going […]
Disclaimer: This post is rated “SG” for “Super Gross” content You know all those cute poems and thoughts about little boys? Adorable limericks about puppy dogs, dirt, and frogs. Well, let me tell you, there is more. oh. so. much. more. Today I’d like to pose this question: why must their clothing come with pockets? […]
My husband is in love with a much younger woman. It became undeniably clear this morning when he kissed her sleeping face three times as he said goodbye to me. No kiss for me. I mean, sure, I had drool on the side of my face and my mascara had run it’s course. Ok, fine, […]
Look, I don’t want to ruffle any feathers here, but our neighbors are a bunch of obnoxious drunks who throw wild, loud parties every stinkin’ night and the mess ends up all over our yard and driveway. I am too chicken to call the authorities because I know the officers will probably just snicker and […]
Last night our A/C stopped working. It was still about five billion degrees outside when it just gave up. It’s not like we keep it arctic cool up in here. We set the thermostat at 78 or 79. Here’s the thing, our major appliances, plumbing and vehicles know when the firefighter is away. They take […]
At the grocery store the other day I saw a guy (let’s call him Clyde) I knew in high school. Well, I was in high school, Clyde was in his third senior year in college (career college student). Clyde had a crush on me, but that was a moot point because there was no way […]
I have a problem. I like to get things done. That may not sound like a problem, but for those who know me, it is. I do not take my time, research, ask for help, nor do I take breaks. When we moved into our house, I was 8 months pregnant with Zeke. Our house […]
