Ah, the latest commercial out there reigning in we silly moms who can’t get along because of our ideological differences in parenting. We need formula companies telling us how to behave & how to get along because without a silly video we would just sit around cat fighting at a playground like a bunch of junior […]
A 5 Year Old’s World
For the end of the year, Lboy’s preschool teachers had all the kids do a fill in the blank. One of the questions asked something along of the lines of “When I grow up I want to be a _______________.” His response? A Vampire. So he can scare everybody. No seriously. That’s what it says. […]
Let’s Keep Some Perspective People
I have a gripe. A major holiday gripe. I think that it’s absolutely ridiculous that I hear more people get honked at or see more people flipped off in the month of December than any other time of year. The flipping off & the honking is all being done by someone who has been shopping […]

I am Blessed
I am blessed. That’s the phrase I’ve been repeating to myself over & over again for the last hour. The baby is wide awake because she feels so crappy. I’m falling asleep sitting up, feeling crappy. I’m in the panic stricken mode of knowing that if I don’t get any sleep I’m going to wake […]
It all started with “Bomb Threat”
Baby O, a friend of mine & I head to the Little Rock airport to fly out for a “there & back again trip” to California to go to a cousin’s wedding. This is about how it went: First time I have to fly since becoming a mother. Nervous like crazy. Bomb threat Thursday. First […]
Quiet down cobwebs, dust go to sleep….
