  She Didn’t Get It From Me

  The Kid’s homework assignment was to complete a story with your own ending. Can you see what is going on in the last panel? That would be a mouse on the left. Also, that would be a cat on the right. Then, there is an arrow to show that the mouse is inside of the cat’s...

  A 500 Mile Adventure

  By sunrise, the Kid and I were halfway up the side of a mountain with the Parents following behind us in their car. We watched the sky turn from purple and red to bright blue as we wound our way up the road. We traveled over the mountain and across the valley. We crossed a tumbleweed-infested...

  Will it last?

  I’ve had a lot of jobs in my time on this little planet. I’ve filed insurance papers for a company that ended up on a government watch list. I’ve passed out tickets at a water park. I’ve hosted Birthday parties for hordes of screaming 6 year olds* (This is where I developed my aversion to...

  I am Fabulously Saucy

  I saw this over at Glenda’s place today and had to give it a try. You Are The Cranberry Sauce A little sweet, a little sour - you've got the flava! Though, you do tend to squish in people's mouths... What Part of Thanksgiving Are You? I'm Saucy! And a little disturbed by the fact...

  Thankful

  There is nothing like coming home to a house crowded with my family. My Mom on the sofa reading her book. The girl’s running around the living room playing dress up. My Dad in the garage having a Boy’s Moment with the Husband. Soon, The Brother and the Nephew will show up and my house will...

  The Bad Mommy Award Goes To…

  The woman who walked out the door this morning casually calling over her shoulder, “Hon! The Baby is poopy!” Even though she knew the poop wasn’t actually contained in a diaper. Because she doesn’t have time for a poop-mergency at 8am in the morning.  Or maybe that should be the Bad Wife of The Year...

  My Harem

  It became quickly apparent that I was not going to be able to maintain my blog reading status-quo this week. For months I’ve thought to myself how I wished these wonderful bloggers would post more frequently. I craved a post-a-day. Now… I need them to slow down. Let me breathe. Let me come home to...

  Redemption

  This week has been harder than I expected. I expected it to be difficult to transition but I didn’t expect the loneliness and that overwhelming feeling of “I’m leaving my babies!” to hit me so quickly. The Husband was the stay-at-home for four years while I worked, so I’ve experienced all of this before. I just assumed...

  Dear Brain,

  Remember last night when we laid ourselves down to sleep and I asked you to please shut yourself off for a few hours so I could get some rest? Remember how- instead of shutting yourself off- you went over blog post after blog post? You wrote and rewrote and shuffled ideas and stories that you...
