GNMParents. Today. Be There!
2007-10-04 10:00:05
I have my weekly post up at GNMParents. Here’s an excerpt for ya: I really don’t think that I’m being melodramatic when I ask where did this year go?! Realizing that Thanksgiving will be here before I know it, I started looking around through my recipes for Thanksgiving dinner ideas. Lucky for you, I came upon one [...] ...

Dead Car Batteries Suck
2007-10-02 18:04:00
Dead car batteries suck. Plain and simple. I rented that carpet cleaner yesterday and I had to take it back today before 11 am. Of course it had to be raining, so strapped Cara into her seat and then went back for the carpet cleaner. [damn thing weighs a ton!] We got to Home [...] ...

Removing Excuses and Other Randomness
2007-10-01 18:00:15
I officially started my “change” today. I picked up an exercise DVD while we were shopping yesterday and I’m going to pop it in when Cara goes down for her nap. I figured that I had to remove all excuses when it comes to getting off of my ass. When I was driving to Base to walk [...] ...

When Guest Posters Suck
2007-10-01 16:14:00
I didn’t write anything yesterday because Tucker was supposed to be a “guest poster”. Notice there was nothing written yesterday. We came to an agreement Friday that Sunday would be “his” day. Actually, I told him that Sunday would be his day…but he didn’t say no. In my book, that’s as good as agreeing; I guess [...] ...

This is some video that I took of Cara and Tucker last night. I’m dealing with site issues, so this will have to tide you over for the time being. ...

Amazing Boob Trick
2007-09-28 19:48:51
We’re not really a vacation kind of family. I’m sure well will be once Cara gets older, but up until around this time last year, it was just Tucker and me. Our lazy asses preferred to sit on the couch and save the cash that we would have spent on a trip. All that being [...] ...

I’ve been thinking about writing this post for a while; I just haven’t dredged up the courage. I kn0w that people don’t like to read bitching. I realize that it isn’t a “good time”. But, somethings just have to be written. So, bear with me. The location and dates for Blogher have been announced. I want [...] ...

GNMParents. Today. Be There!
2007-09-27 20:00:09
I have my weekly post up at GNMParents. Here’s an excerpt for ya: When we moved to Florida four years ago, it was a huge relief. My relationship with my mother had devolved into something that was far from healthy, and being sixteen hours away was wonderful. The distance allowed me to change my skewed perspective and [...] ...

Breaking the Cycle
2007-09-27 16:57:20
I’ve never considered myself “abused”. I always had a bed to sleep in, clothes on my back and food in my stomach. I can count on one hand the number of times that I was spanked. But, the more I thought about it, the more long forgotten memories came flooding back. Hours spent alone in my bathroom as [...] ...

Ten Amazingly Intersting Things About Me
2007-09-27 16:26:14
I guess it was a mistake to #1 admit that this was the first meme that I had been tasked with and #2 tag Doodaddy with it. 1. What were you doing ten years ago? 10 years ago, I was in high school. I’m not telling you what year though. 2. What were you doing [...] ...

Breastfeeding Crazys
2007-09-26 17:12:32
There is some major breastfeeding drama afoot. Applebee’s stepped in it here and the incident has spawned video reactions, blog entries and general bad press. Then, Facebook banned a picture of a mother breastfeeding because it was “obscene“. That action has also caused an uproar and even the creation of a website calling for people [...] ...

It’s Going to be One of Those Days
2007-09-26 16:05:34
I’m going to have to bust out my Ferber book. Cara was up at least three times last night; it might have been more, but I quite counting after three. Once is fine; I have to feed Biscuit around 4am. But, for the past couple of nights, Cara has been waking numerous times and refusing to go [...] ...

So I found Biscuit on the 15th. We tried to give him away and that didn’t work. Tucker named the kitten, Biscuit and I bought some kitten juice to last us for a while. Meow, that’s what has happened thus far. I think it’s amazing what you can learn in just a couple of [...] ...

I’m a Guest Poster
2007-09-25 17:02:10
Around the beginning of this month, I wrote this. I did it more for myself than anything…I was feeling a bit guilty for not talking about Gov. Huckabee. A mass email was sent out by Gov. Huckabee’s campaign asking for submissions for their website. What the hell. I might as well send mine along. Low and [...] ...

Heroes: Season Premier
2007-09-25 03:29:08
I’m watching the season premier of Heroes right now. Don’t worry, I’m not “live blogging”; it’s at commercial. Thus far, it’s rocked. Hiro’s back in the 17th century, Claire is in a new school and has met an intriguing boy, West [there are rumors that he’s “gifted“], Hiro’s dad just found out that he has 24 hours [...] ...

My Kitchen

Kate has tagged me with my first meme: 8 Things from My Kitchen. That’s fine. I may not like my kitchen, but I’ll sure write about it. #1 My kitchen is tiny. I can’t have my dishwasher and stove open at the same time because their doors will hit. #2 The cabinets in my kitchen are [...] ...

Diaper Woes
2007-09-24 16:07:33
Diapers are apparently very bad things around our house. I make this statement based on the fact that I spent the entire weekend watching my child remove her diaper at every available opportunity. The days of her running around the apartment in her diaper are over. Now, even when Cara is wearing clothes, she tries [...] ...

Time Suck Saturday
2007-09-22 15:51:37
Apparently, I should have taken a picture of my keyboard instead of my kitchen and living room for Motherhood Uncensored deal. I’m not as addicted to blogging as some may think and I feel that I stand a purty darn good chance of surviving a zombie apocalypse. If I’m zombified, at least my body [...] ...

Domestic Zeroism at its Finest
2007-09-22 14:58:39
Motherhood Uncensored was brave enough to post her “squalor” and I figured that I would do the same. I’m not shy; sometimes the cleaning just don’t get done. In my defense, we did have people over last night for pizza and beer. [I had rum and coke] Unlike, Motherhood Uncensored, I didn’t clean it up…I’ll add that [...] ...

Bite Me
2007-09-21 23:02:49
I feel that I’ve been neglecting Mrs. Venom. Every week, I just add a “Bite Me” to the end of an existing post and send my little trackback. So, this is an entire post just for Kate’s bi-weekly Bite Me. Enjoy. ...

A Bag and a Thank You Note
2007-09-21 17:32:24
When’s the last time that you can remember receiving a Thank You note? I’m talking an honest-to-God, handwritten, [not emailed] stamped and mailed Thank You note. It’s been a long time for me. So, you can imagine my surprise when I received one yesterday. A few weeks ago, PBN held a “blog blast” where I wrote a love [...] ...

Superior Customer Service Takes Time
2007-09-19 20:00:15
I expect excellent customer service; I believe that it is my right, as a customer, to receive it. I have been a waitresses and in customer service “reps” shoes; I know what it’s like. So, when I come in your store, don’t treat me like crap! Cara and I just got back from buying some powdered kitty [...] ...

Tucker Named the Kitten
2007-09-19 15:42:24
Does the kitten look like a biscuit to you? Apparently he does to Tucker. So, it’s official. The kitten’s name is Biscuit. I didn’t want to name him on the off chance that he kicked the proverbial bucket. Tucker didn’t want me to name him because Tucker thought that once I named him, I would [...] ...
