April 15 has long suffered under the yoke our government has placed upon it. Uncle Sam decided this is the day he wanted to remove your every last farthing (or for the lucky of us, redeposit some of our own hard earned money) and stick it into his grubby pockets. No more!
DC Days and Anglophile Football Fanatic have [...]
Before I give you ‘ku, did you vote for my caption @ Fussy’s yet? I’m not above begging. And, please don’t forget to tune in tomorrow. DC Days & I have something up our sleeves……….something you won’t want to miss!
“Tell me a story.”
I say to my little guy.
“Okay my mommy.”
“Once upon a time”
I had no [...]
I’ve been married to the spousal unit long enough to know him and all of his quirks for what they are. In 13 years together, I think I have an inkling of how he’ll deal with situations as they arise. Partially this comes from 3 hours on the phone a day for the four years [...]
Last summer, I attempted to take Sweetie D to the movies for the first time. I anticipated we’d not make it through the whole movie. I’ve never seen that child sit still for two hours for anything. He did great, initially
Until the lights went out. Then I heard, “Mommy, it’s DARK. Spooky. I need a [...]
No, I didn’t rant and rave and have a psychotic breakdown, ala Mommie Dearest, but I did wreak havoc in my closet. Last night, I went in my closet to start the transition from long sleeve to short sleeve - you ladies of climates much colder than ours probably don’t get this, but it’s almost March in [...]
I’ll write a “real” post later, but I thought I would share our morning (after 7 am mass) with you. We have LOTS of Targets close to us and I’d gotten a hot tip that they were getting a shipment of Wiis. 1 per “guest” (one for me, one for Pup) made us spring to [...]
A MacLeod again
Did you notice my plaid’s back??
Be still my wee heart!
I’ve felt quite naked
and not quite whole without it
Thank you, Nap Warden!

It has oft been said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. (I would cite the exact person who first spoke those lines but there seems to be serious debate…we’ll leave it to “unknown” to take credit.) I can’t help but think this is true. In the 3rd grade, when I was the first [...]
If you are BIL or SIL, and you are afraid of images of your big brother & big sister doing the horizontal lambada becoming etched in your head for all eternity, for the love of God, do not read any further.
I’ve wondered around here what actually signified TMI. I’ve seen things in the blogosphere that make me [...]
I apologize for being a bit awol around here the past few days. I finally found a company in Houston (sector of NASA) that wanted to hire Puppy, but apparently, the job was not good enough for Mr. Job Snob. To say I’m a bit devastated is quite the understatement. I blew off preschool admissions [...]
