OK I know it’s been a LONG while, but I’ve unburied myself from my pile of work, and my vacation, to write this very important post. I hope you all are having a wonderful holiday season!! Today is Daddy-O’s birthday! I’m 41, so he must be 85. Right, Daddy? OK maybe I’m off a bit. [...]
I have a list of things I would NEVER do. Things like bungee jumping, skydiving, base jumping, etc. And until about three years ago, scuba diving was on that list. I’m pretty sure it was the movie The Abyss that cemented that decision for me. All that heavy breathing. And dark, scary waters. I still get [...]
Wow, folks it’s been way too long since I’ve posted! I’ve been so busy at work. I’m not talking just a little busy, I’m talking about, “Hi, I’m going on a shooting spree, care to join me?” busy. And I’ve had quite a few takers on that offer, as a matter of fact. Thankfully the body [...]
Wow, y’all. These past couple of weeks have been insane. Here are a few items I’ve had to deal with: 1. Last Thursday I got rear-ended at a stop light. It was a rainy evening, and I had just stopped at a yellow light. The guy behind me, however, didn’t stop. Thankfully he wasn’t going [...]
It’s been *gasp* almost TWO WEEKS since I’ve posted. Sorry about that (as if you really missed me, HA!) Work has been kicking my ass, and since that’s where I write this blog (shhhh, don’t tell my boss), I haven’t had time to update it. It’s our “busy season”, and I don’t see it getting [...]
I am SO lucky to have my wonderful husband as the author of today’s post. Today is our two-year anniversary, and he’s absolutely the best husband in the world! For those of you who have read Suzy’s posts you may know that I’m not very keen on having my family’s everyday activities posted on the internet. [...]
Well, remember how I said I was getting a new foster dog, and how we all expected that he’d be so great and wonderful and that I’d definitely be adopting him? Yeah, not so much. On Saturday, I drove about 90 minutes to pick him up. He seemed very friendly, but BIG! He was twice [...]
My husband and I have an unusual relationship with his ex-wife (Jo Mama) and her husband (Happy Banker). We like them. No, really. We don’t just pretend to for the sake of the children. For instance, we’ll all go to the movie together. All ten of us. Or whenever it’s someone’s birthday (not just the [...]
I am really angry right now, so this may not be that coherent. I just called both of my sons’ schools, and neither one of them showed Obama’s speech today. I spoke to the principal of the middle school and asked him to tell me what I’m supposed to tell my child about why they chose not [...]
You’re probably getting sick of hearing about the dog, but she’s the big news in my life right now. So, as my youngest taught me (as taught to him by daycare), “You get what you get, and you don’t throw a fit.” I’d never really been that much of a dog person. I preferred cats. [...]
