I had IT (individual time) with Kennedy tonight. It’s something I try to do monthly with each of the kids, but it doesn’t always happen. Tonight we chose to do a date night theme and opted for dinner and a movie. The dinner was at Texas Roadhouse which, save for the homemade yeast rolls with honey… Continue reading As Grandpa Would Say…Here’s a Tip For Ya: Don’t Take Any Wooden Nickels

Three Things Before My Weary Head Hits The Pillow
It’s late. I’m tired. But… I couldn’t go to bed without putting a shiny new post up on my blog for all you east coasters who come visit me long before the sun has even thought about rising here in southern AZ. I’ve mustered up three things that aren’t necessarily worthy of their… Continue reading Three Things Before My Weary Head Hits The Pillow
Because When You’re the 4th Child You Learn To Be Resourceful
And You Thought You Had Nothing Left to Learn
In the spirit of brotherly love I thought I’d start an entire category for Things I’ve Learned. You know, to pass along the wealth of knowledge that I’ve acquired thus far in my adventurous life. Maybe adventurous isn’t the right word. Perhaps eventful would be more accurate. Well then. Here are the first of… Continue reading And You Thought You Had Nothing Left to Learn
Let’s Talk TV
Everyone dishes about Lost and Grey’s Anatomy and House and Bones and Dancing with The Stars. But I can’t dish about those shows because believe it or not I’ve never seen them. So lets dish in a TV language I can understand. Grab your remote and popcorn and pop a squat for a minute or… Continue reading Let’s Talk TV
Doing My Part to Fuel the Germaphobe Fire
I saw this slide show on my MSN homepage today. It sort of caught my attention because I’m just a tad bit spastic when it comes to germs and bacteria and all that fun stuff. I haven’t always been this bad. You’d think that when my kids came along I might have let a… Continue reading Doing My Part to Fuel the Germaphobe Fire
Monday Monday.
You know your week is not getting off to a good start when: – You awake to the booming sound of the trash truck. – The concrete guys who are scheduled to fix the cracks in the patio arrive a half hour late: right about the time you need to head out the door for… Continue reading Monday Monday.
Talk About Airing My Dirty Laundry
Every Monday I do the same thing: laundry. And lots of it. I know there are varying trains of thought on this. Some people think you should spread the laundry out and do a load or two each and every day of the week so as not to spend a full day sorting and… Continue reading Talk About Airing My Dirty Laundry
The Time He Spent Easter at Traffic School
Jeff says I have a bad habit (I consider it more of a necessity) of giving him driving directions when we’re in the car together. It’s less that I give him directions really and more that I point to a turn lane here and there or occasionally tap my finger on the passenger side window to let him… Continue reading The Time He Spent Easter at Traffic School
Inquiring Minds Want to Know. Really. They do.
It’s been one of those days where life has come at me well over the speed limit at which I’m comfortable. So, rather than further deplete my weary, overworked brain cells by coming up with a pithy post, I’m going to zoink a fun one from one of my favorite bloggers, The Queen B. … Continue reading Inquiring Minds Want to Know. Really. They do.
My Encounter With Dr. Smiley
I went to the dermatologist today. I went there because the facial lady said that I had a brown spot on my nose that I should have checked out. Not exactly what a girl wants to hear, but better, I suppose than having a brown spot in my nose that I should have checked out. … Continue reading My Encounter With Dr. Smiley
Think It Before You Ink It
I have a new one for Jeff Foxworthy to add to his repertoire. And yes. This did really happen. No. Not to me. You might be a redneck if you have to legally change your newborn baby’s name because the tattoo artist misspelled it. Hmmm. Wonder if she can spell ‘classy’?
