On the Phone and On the John, Simultaneously?

Let me start this post out with this:
I tend to be a little bathroom-wary about germs and such.  I am the person who always washes her hands, and always uses a towel to open the door.  I NEVER touch the bathroom door with my hands on the way out unless I cannot help it.  I [...]

To Gary the Fraud at Walmart

Dear Gary, the disingenuous guy who works at the automotive desk at South Loop Lubbock Walmart,
I shop at South Loop Lubbock Walmart every week.  I buy my groceries there, I buy some of my kids clothes there, I buy my toiletries there, and I often get my oil changes there.  I have even had many [...]

Comments, Anyone?

I have to admit that as a stay at home mom, I don’t get out of the house much.  I have struggled with wondering if I spend too much time on the internet, but I have decided that it is part of my social connection with the real world, and as long as it doesn’t [...]

Healthcare for Clunkers?

I have to question our government when it passes programs through that are supposed to last for months, only to have them last for 1 week!  The program I am talking about is Cash For Clunkers.
The government is further subsidizing the auto industry outside of the auto bailouts so that people can receive credit on [...]

One Down, One To Go

Thursday, after naptime, I had Ernie come with me to lay down for a couple minutes in my bed while he was “waking up.”  This has become sort of an everyday thing for us.  We just lay there for a couple minutes until he becomes antsy and says, “Mommy, I still hungry.”  Then we get [...]

Open Living Plans Not a Good Idea

As I am looking around my living/dining/kitchen area at the numerous toys still out…the laundry folded and in baskets in front of the fireplace…the junk all over my counters…I am making a decision:
Never again will I have a house that embraces the “open-living” concept!!
Here’s why:

I cannot escape the mess of my house unless I clean [...]

ButtMart

When I go to Walmart, I typically see all kinds of people.  Some are made up, some don’t care, some would care if they had the money and others…well, they just need a belt.
Say No to Crack! 
This is the second time I have been exposed to bare butt in this Walmart.  Old butt, young [...]

Workout Trenches—Smells from hell

While at the fitness center this morning, I decided to get on the treadmill and walk.  I had already warmed up and lifted weights and the Young and the Restless was about to come on…sooooo—off the the treadmill I went. 
I’m walking along…a little huffin’ and puffin’ when this lady gets onto the treadmill next [...]

Hey You Out There…

I have realized there is one reason to keep a Blogger blog…
You can remain ignorant to the incoming traffic to your site.  You simply don’t have those statistics unless you go outside of Blogger to get a site meter that will give you that info.
So, to you WordPress bloggers…
Do you ever have someone repeatedly look [...]

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

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 [...]

What to Rename My Kids?

I am thinking that “Big Brother” and “Baby Boy” are outliving their usefullness.  (Not in my daily life–I am referring to their blogging names)
First, Baby Boy is 2…not quite a baby anymore.  Also, he will always be a “Big Brother,” I think he needs his own identity.  So, I am searching for the perfect replacement [...]

My Child’s Dance with the Dust Devil

(cue Charlie Daniel’s Music…)
Well, yesterday the Devil went down to, well—Not Georgia–instead it visited my son’s preschool.  In this case, it was a dust devil.
Ever seen one of these?
This is a common scene where we live…as you drive by the endless number of plowed fields,  you will see them in the summertime.  In the past [...]

Petty People Suck

People can be so insulting and rude.  Today I went to the post office to send out some more fellowship applications for my husband.  This morning I noticed that he had made a silly error…he filled in the return address on the upper right hand corner instead of putting it on the left.  No problem, [...]
