Freak Parade

Reaching yet another birthday and living to tell the tale has caused me to do some thinking. Pretty much since the age of 18, I have had nothing but contempt for the process of getting older. The weight gain, the wrinkles, the responsibility, the complete un-coolness that comes along with it. Why on earth […]

Why did I choose this picture for Love Thursday? Scroll on down.

This picture of The Girl is my submission for Love Thursday at Shutter Sisters. I had planned on using a completely different photo. I spent about an hour today trying to get that picture just how I wanted it. I took my […]

Apparently, this is how The Girl plays Barbie.

Look at Wendy Waters watching in the background. Creepy.

Okay, aside from the fact that Barbie is on the john….is that the ugliest outfit you have ever seen or what? It’s like some kind of 80’s flight attendant outfit.

So…The Girl is now a yellow belt. Woo hoo! As you saw in the video, she broke her board on her first try. She was one of only 3 to break her board with only one kick (Not that I was counting or anything. Ahem.)

Around here, anniversaries usually = kid free. Yeah, um…usually. This particular anniversary happened to be quite a bit too […]

The Boy and The Girl occasionally stop screeching at each other for a few moments and actually try to play together. One of the things they play is restaurant. I was invited to be a patron of their …um…lovely establishment. Take a look at the menu. Delish, no?

Don’t see it? Take a closer look….

Every freaking’ night Every once in awhile, The Girl will wake up and come crawling into our bed at night. Last night was no exception. At about 2:30, we heard her door open and her bare feet padding down the hall. Our bedroom door was hurled open, bouncing of the springy door stop…..SPROING! The Girl […]

The Girl is fascinated with the idea of being a supermodel. She has gotten her very limited grasp of what that entails from her 7 year old cousin. Yes, I said seven. Puke. We don’t have Bratz….I very begrudgingly allow Barbie, with the clothing highly monitored. Ask my daughter about the Three B’s. Belly, […]

This is part two of this post.
So where were we? Just rescued from the side of the freeway, right? Okay….
So I turn the key and…hooray!….we start up. We have gas!
Jubilant in This Change in Situation Mom: Woo hoo! We’re out of here! Off to get some lunch.
A Few Minutes Later, But Still Happy to Be […]
