These are two back to back posts, originally published on July 10, 2008…. within about 1 hour of each other. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ So this bee walks into a bar and orders a baking soda bath, with a chaser of baking soda paste… You’re out playing in the yard (pretending to be a dog, of course) and […]
My favorite Mother’s Day gift. Ever.
June 2007 – my favorite photo. It’s the wallpaper on my computer… The best Mother’s Day gift I ever received was in 2003. It is a typed transcript of the conversation where my husband and our three oldest boys tried to decide what to get me. Devin was 10, Conner was 6 and Mitch was […]

Can you play?
Do you have favorite toys and TV shows from your childhood? Of course you do. Me too. I’ve mentioned previously that I was a total tomboy. I hated all things Barbie. I would occasionally play them with my sister, but only long enough to set up and organize Barbie’s household, then I didn’t want to […]
My Prom? Just like “Carrie” but without the pig blood.
This is a story of my Senior Prom and how much it sucked. Â It’s long, but at the end of this post you’ll be glad you weren’t my date. Let me just say on the front end of this story that I was practically able to laugh about most of this while it was happening. […]
“There is no charge for awesomeness. Or attractiveness.” – Kung Fu Panda
I was asked by a friend to write down 7 things that make me awesome. 1. I can write a really great “f*** you letter.” I have friends who have had me write letters on their behalf. I am good at writing a structured, articulate letter, dripping with thinly veiled sarcasm and oozing contempt, but […]
Mommy T-Ball Challenges
I am a mom who didn’t set a good example this week… Hypocritical: I have a firm rule that if you join a team, or play a sport, you are committing to it. All of it. You don’t just participate when you feel like it. You’re in or you’re out. I played hooky from Grant’s […]
Purple.
May 1st. May Day. It’s also the American Cancer Society’s “Paint Your Town Purple Day.” Stupid cancer! Stupid breast cancer attacked my friend Donna when she was 36. She had no family history of it whatsoever. Stupid cancer! After Donna had a mastectomy and a few rounds of chemo, we thought she beat it. Young […]
Not quite trash to treasure, but I left it better than I found it.
Mod Podge is one of my favorite mediums that l use when attempting to turn crap into a craft project… And? It’s cheap and easy, so if I don’t like it, I haven’t committed a lot of time (bad enough) or money (yikes! worse!) to the project. Like most frugal/crafty Mommies, I love Goodwill, Target […]
Besides the fact that there isn’t enough bleach in the world to fix this….
I have a personal preference regarding going barefoot. I’m not a fan. My feet always feel gross when I go barefoot. I know there are others who feel differently. My husband, for example, who seems to think that the children’s feet will be better off (orthopaedically speaking) if they go barefoot more often. I do […]
