If it rains on your wedding day, it’s considered good luck. If a bird poops on you, it’s considered good luck. (what-ev) Now tell me: Is it good luck or bad luck to christen a new home with an overflowing toilet?
Which box has my brain?
The wallpaper has been removed, the paint is dry, the majority of the furniture has been moved in. Now I have some questions: How can one move into a house with the same floorplan and have the furniture seem too big? Did the cable guy lie to me when he said “Listen lady, if you […]
This can’t be comfortable…
I’ve heard of getting up on the wrong side of the bed, but I’ve never heard of sleeping on the wrong side of the bed….

What are they teaching kids in school these days?! If there was a requirement to cover your textbooks when I was in school, we used brown grocery bags to do it. Nowadays, you can just buy these nylon stretchy book-covers that are ready to go. Because we’re in the middle of moving, I’m grateful for […]
April Fresh!
Tip of the Day. After trying several chemicals and enzyme concoctions, I can tell you this: The best way to remove wallpaper is to scratch it up a bit, then spray it with a mixture of water and fabric softener. Let it sit a few minutes then scrape it right off. 1 gallon of warm […]
Well how do they make sno-cones then?
We have a good friend who is a police officer. From time to time we hear funny “on the job” stories. This is definitely my favorite:Once he was part of a team serving a search warrant for drugs in a house. As part of that drug search, pretty much every stone is overturned during the […]
What’s next? Midnight margaritas?!
So we’re moving. I have been up to my eyeballs in wallpaper stripper and paint cans at the new house. It is only 6 blocks from the old house, so I’ve also been running back and forth between the houses, dealing with kids, packing, organizing school supplies, etc. And, since the big guys went back […]
Have some candy! Watch out for the poop, though.

His father’s son.
This morning, as every morning, Grant came running out to find me. I love hearing the pad, pad, pad of his feet coming down the hallway. I love how he says, “Mom!” as if I’m some delightful surprise he wasn’t expecting. I love how he wants to climb in my lap and snuggle up and […]
Should for some reason the president not be able to complete his term, the first runner up is…!
Anyone not under a rock today knows that McCain chose Alaska Governor, Sarah Palin, as his running mate. Rich is impressed that she is a lifetime member of the NRA, she hunts, eats moose, plays basketball and was a runner up in the Miss Alaska pageant 25 years ago. I am impressed that she got […]
