Ah, potty training. Is there a more wonderful thing in all the world? I think not. My daughter Madison will be three in October. As of last week, she was still going in a diaper and I, her mother was changing her (sorry - little potty book humor for you moms out there). We tried… Continue reading “Mommy I have to go potty!”
A steaming serving of guilt
Today I will be returning to visit Jim. Jim is not a friend. He is not a member of my family. In fact, he doesn't really exist. Jim is what I call my YMCA. Actually, it's more than that. Jim is who my YMCA is to me. I created the concept of "Jim" shortly after… Continue reading A steaming serving of guilt
For Shame!
I realized today (thanks James) that I haven't blogged in - well, far too long. Shame, shame on me. I'm so sorry! I'm currently decompressing from an incredibly busy day and preparing for a new (equally hectic) day on the horizon. I started watching a friend's children today, and will have an infant, two 2… Continue reading For Shame!
Wanna get away?
To fully appreciate the hilarity of this story, you really had to be there. But - you can get an idea of it by watching the below video. My hubby and I were over at my sister's home getting ready for an evening of good food, friends, drinks and playing some Wii. Amy and I… Continue reading Wanna get away?
Just a little happy day
Spent some time outside enjoying a GORGEOUS Seattle day today. Ahhh. It was awesome. Burned my shoulders, grew lots of new freckles and discovered that Donovan is NOT a fan of the lawn mower. Took some photos of the little man, which he is a big fan of. The little girl has decided to become… Continue reading Just a little happy day
Please don’t burn the house down!
This morning as I sat at my computer desk running through my normal routine (e-mail, facebook, wordpress) a strange wisp of white floated past my vision. "Weird" I thought. I figured my eyes were playing tricks on me - that I hadn't been awake long enough and I was seeing things. But then it happened… Continue reading Please don’t burn the house down!
One t-r-i-l-l-i-o-n dollars…mwah, ha, ha.
I talked to my mom this morning regarding the "tea parties" going on today to protest the massive government spending plan. Americans are joining together in cities all across the country to take a stand against their growing tax burden and out of control government spending. Both sides of the aisle are guilty of reaching… Continue reading One t-r-i-l-l-i-o-n dollars…mwah, ha, ha.
Introducing the shock of your life
Thank you Kevin for posting a link to this on Facebook so I could be inspired. Those of you who haven't yet seen this video will (I'm sure) think I'm exaggerating when I say that I have never been more shocked at anything on YouTube. Susan Boyle lives at home with her cat - never… Continue reading Introducing the shock of your life
Here’s a tip
During my Easter dinner with family, I heard an astonishing story. Apparently, Oprah told her audience that in light of these economic hard times, we should all band together in a grand money saving strategy and decide only to tip 10-12%. Now, my immediate reaction to this news was horror - my sister is a… Continue reading Here’s a tip
Would you like some milk with your Oreos?
Last night, I ate almost half a package of double stuff Oreos. It's true. There. I said it. And I feel better now. Sort of. It never ceases to amaze me how much I turn to food when I'm feeling totally overwhelmed. I'm not sure why I find comfort in stuffing my face, but I… Continue reading Would you like some milk with your Oreos?
