WW: Snow! In Dallas? In March!!?!

Last night it snowed for the first time this year.  In March.  SD had a ball this morning before the 60 degree weather melted it all. Notice the 3 different outfits.  Each time he got wet, he wanted to change clothes.

We Want You! To Swap.

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!

HF: Tell Mommy a Story!

 
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 [...]

A Warning to Drivers on Central Expressway

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 [...]

From the Red (flash)Light District

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 Wire Hangers!!

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 [...]

Wii are Capitalist Pigs

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 [...]

TMI: When the massage oil goes 50% off after Valentine’s, is the sex only half as good?

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 [...]

Tails of a Skunk

I have been remiss in sharing recent utterings of the small boy child, sweetie darling, who occupies 86.4% of my time (the other 13 odd % being devoted to blogging), and I’m rather embarrassed with myself for this.  Because, this is someone who requires virtually all of my free time, who chooses when the real alarm clock goes [...]
