So, I’m a bit backlogged on the present list here…things have been a tad hectic – and one of the main issues I’ve been dealing with is a sick canine. I am a dog owner – I just have never had the dog I own live with me…when I bought the dog I was in…
I got myself into a little trouble with this opinion over at a message board for Mom’s that I help organize. So, I thought I’d preface this entry with a disclaimer: Disclaimer Part 1: I am an opinionated, often sarcastic bit of a tart (as my husband calls me) and will often speak openly of…
Boy George, your words are so true. The Karma Chameleon, it comes and goes…and I don’t know where mine went. Look – I’m not some hippy-dipped in soy nut butter-screwball, but I do think that it would be nice if the world worked on the “what goes around comes around” theory – you know, the…
It’s been a month since I’ve posted and the reason is simple. This is the start of my busy season – where my schedule becomes frantic, crazy – insane even! Enough with the hyperbole, but it’s true. Why do I have this crazy schedule you may ask? Well, after becoming a mommy I resigned from…
You’ve at least heard of Murphy’s Law, right? Well, if you have somehow managed to get through life without finding cause to believe this theory is correct, all you have to do is have children. I promise you – you will never doubt the veracity of this adage ever again. Case in point – some…
…in the continuing saga of Appliance Hell. In today’s episode, mild-mannered housewife Mimi Johnson is attempting to get dinner together for the family (like a good housewife should) when ZAP! PING! WHOOSH! flames are shooting out of the microwave!!! Our heroine keeps a cool head though, and soaks a towel before shoving it into the…
I’m not talking about the process of carrying, delivering, and breastfeeding a child (though, God knows that does enough damage to your body to make anyone wear unrelieved black from head to toe). No. What I’m referring to is the unabashed, unwelcome observations that children (a certain 4 year old red head in particular) make…
So, tonight the husband and I experienced that rare occasion known as “an evening out.” You know, dinner, drinks, conversation – A DATE. There wasn’t a booster seat or chicken nugget in sight, and the only food I had to cut up was my own luscious salmon (which by the way, I was able to…
Buckets. Of sh*t. Somewhere, someone must be laughing about this – I know I’m nearing the point where I burst into hysterical giggles. Ever see the movie, The Money Pit? That moment when Tom Hanks begins to cackle uncontrollably? I understand that now. Problem #1: So the fridge crisis had been resolved for less than…
It appears they do exist, and heck, they don’t even need a shrine. After going to appliance Valhalla (aka: Home Depot) and choosing a shiny new fridge (which was delivered on Freyja’s Day, oh Happy Friday!) I am basking in their benevolence (aka: 0% interest). Here’s the kicker – a day after moving the malfunctioning …
