Right is NOT the new Left.

Today as we were driving to our destination for our weeklong vacation, we watched as a person in a truck went by us.  We first noticed the truck because he had a long-haired dachshund sitting in his lap and both Bert and Ernie proclaimed “Hi, Doggy!!”  The dog was hanging out the window and as [...]

Chris Daughtry

There are two bands that I buy albums for—no listen required.  I have no doubt that when they finish their material and release it to the world that is will be to my liking.
One of these bands is releasing their sophomore album on July 14th.   
I will buy it. 
 

Isn’t he absolutely gorgeous?

Shocked and Awed

I don’t normally impulse buy or try everything that I see in commercials, but have you seen this one?

 
The first time I saw this commercial, I laughed my *ss off!  It’s funny and it made me want to buy this stuff.  I haven’t gotten it yet, but every time I walk [...]

Ringworm

Went to the doctor today to confirm…Yes, My 2 year old has ringworm!! YUCK!!!  I got some Lamisil and we have applied it.  Right now he has 4 of them.  1 on his leg, and 3 on his arm.  Yesterday he only had 3…and yesterday morning all I thought he had was a couple of [...]

A Tribute to Laundry

Laundry, oh laundry you never seem to get done.  I’ve always got clothes folded and yet never put away.
Laundry, oh laundry why do you seem to be never-ending?  I get you done once a week, and I have more of you in a day.
Is it because my son still pees in his underwear when he [...]

Whew!

They ganged up on me today.  Those rats. 
Gosh, I’m sure glad they are both in bed now.
We grocery shopped, we had a fit in the car on the way home, we ate, they napped, we had time out, I made cookies, we had time out, we painted, we had time out, I made dinner, [...]

If you notice you are not on there and would like to be added, shoot me a comment or [...]

I Admit It…

Okay, if you have read this blog for a while or know me well, you know that I am pretty “flighty.” A couple of weeks ago I started running 3 miles.  I was quite proud of myself and doing well, except that everytime I ran, I would spend a day with a sore hip [...]

Carrot Sticks and Tongue Kissing

My sons are at that age where they are big enough to do things that are inappropriate, but not old enough for me to even begin to explain.
Case in point #1:  Last night.  Doc and I are sitting on the couch and Ernie comes to me whining with a “boo-boo” on his tongue. (you can [...]

Teacher ReCertification Classes STINK!!

Teacher’s certification classes suck.
My certification ends in January.  I found a great online source to take the classes I need without going anywhere.  They are interactive and only cost $100 each.  I need 2 of these classes.  Actually, $100 isn’t bad when I compare it to the $500 I saw for actually going to a [...]

Little Deceitful Boys

I cannot believe anything they say anymore when it comes to “he said-he said” situations.  I feel like a judge with no evidence.  They are always crying and whining to each other about the other one…and of course, they always come to me.  Bert and Ernie are going to drive this mommy crazy.
My solution?  I [...]

You Know You’re in Ultra Conservative Country when…

You get 2 phone calls the entire day.

1 from the people trying to get our dry county made wet by voting “For” selling Liquor here.
the NRA calls you to vote against a bill going before congress by a Democrat banning guns, and thus infringing on our 2nd Amendment right.  (National Rifle Association for those of [...]

Mellowing Out

It’s official…I’m getting older.
…and Mellower (is that even a word?)
I don’t stress over things that I used to stress over.  I kind of just go along for the ride.
Okay, this is either that I am getting older…or…
I’m finally getting used to my husband’s profession and caving to the fact that I often find myself in [...]
