In a few days, my husband and I will be leaving the kids with grandma and grandpa and boarding a cruise ship. I couldn’t be more excited. I have never been on a cruise before. And so like any newbie would be, I have been dreaming of crystal blue waters, sun on my face, and … Continue reading Setting Sail and Sucking It In

Goooooood Morning! (Can you hear the sarcasm?)
This morning I woke up to my three-year-old son unlocking our front door, buck naked. When I asked him what he was doing he calmly said, "I'm just looking for the orange airplane." Oh, thanks for clarifying. And the naked part? I knew I put him to bed with pajamas and a diaper on. Where … Continue reading Goooooood Morning! (Can you hear the sarcasm?)
Luckless at the Library
I'm really starting to dislike the local library. I am sure the feelings are mutual. Folks, I have just incurred a $20.00 fee for returning damaged books! Yes, it was my fault. I'm guilty. Here's what happened: I set the books on the floor of my van next to my water bottle. My water bottle that … Continue reading Luckless at the Library
One Fish, Two Fish, Totally Gross Fish
Last night was the second night in a row I have ruined dinner. I am accepting any and all sympathies. The other night it was Harvest Paella gone awry. No pun intended, because there is absolutely nothing humorous about ruining a perfectly good meal. I literally woke up the next morning with hunger pains in my … Continue reading One Fish, Two Fish, Totally Gross Fish
From Terrifying to Touchable
Not wanting to take pictures of my own disgusting toes for your viewing pleasure, I just googled images to see if there was a picture of someone else's "ugly" feet I could show you. Let me reassure you, there are lots ugly, down right disgusting feet out there. Some that made me cringe, some that … Continue reading From Terrifying to Touchable
From rolling to rice-licking, she’s a keeper
The sad truth is I am not often thankful for our dog. In fact, I am more often frustrated with her than anything else. We got her two weeks before I found out I was pregnant for the very first time, and she has tested my hormones, my sanity, and the cleanliness of our home … Continue reading From rolling to rice-licking, she’s a keeper
Home hair highlighting kits: don’t try them at home
Home hair highlighting kits are never a good idea. Remind me next time. Smelly, messy, unpredictable...dangerous. WARNING: DO NOT GET INTO EYES, MAY CAUSE BLINDNESS DIRECTIONS: RINSE UNTIL WATER RUNS CLEAR As I am hanging my head over the shower trying to wash the toxins out of my hair, the water starts dripping down the … Continue reading Home hair highlighting kits: don’t try them at home
Somebody Stop Me!
It's candy corn season. Somebody stop me. Please. I will eat these things until my belly aches, my throat hurts and I am otherwise convinced I am slowly killing myself. Death by candy corns. Even worse than my possible comatose state or death caused by obscene amounts of sucrose, is this sobering statement about sugar: … Continue reading Somebody Stop Me!
I’m a better blogger without a husband
It's true. I blog better without a husband. Hmmm…maybe I should clarify. I blog better when my husband is gone. Like away. And it's only because I love him so much. That is also a true statement. When he is around, I find myself enjoying his company whenever I can (i.e. when the children are … Continue reading I’m a better blogger without a husband
The bane of a woman’s existence
At times like these it is good to know there are a few certainties in life. Death, taxes…and cellulite.
