Out of the mouth of an old lady

Earlier this week, I went to visit my almost 94 year old Grandma.  You may (or may not) remember that she is now in a nursing home.  She lived alone, fell a lot and refused to use her Life Alert (Help me, I’ve fallen and I can’t get up).   Push came to shove and after [...]

Put the jello shot down and step away from the pinata

That should have been the catchy phrase on the evite for my birthday party.  Yes, the party that happened 2 weeks ago.  Yes, the party I am just now blogging about. 
The idea of a party came about 4 weeks after Carson was born.  I was at the bar the library with Hubby and his co-worker.  [...]

I’ve been “In-Lawed”

Yes, you read that right.  I have officially been “in-lawed” …by Sam and Avery.
Yesterday afternoon, as we were driving home from the grocery store. I heard them exchange vows, while sitting side-by-side in their booster seats. 
And it’s a good thing I like his parents.  I mean, these are jello-shotting, beer-drinking relatives we have now. 
I love it. 
And [...]

Night Terrors? Or a really big Chicken Nugget?

I have to set up this story twice. 
First the chicken nuggets.  Avery likes chicken nuggets.  She usually only eats them with her friends – at McDonald’s with Sam.  Where she dips them in the Apple Dippers Caramel sauce. (Gag)  And when we go to Sydney and Ryan’s for lunch – where she dips them in [...]

Rollin’ with the homeys

Anyone remember what movie that song is from?  Anyone?  Anyone?  (Answer will be at the end of this post…)
I really want to share with y’all the details of my birthday party…but since a picture is worth a thousand words I have to wait until I get pictures from my friend.  I mean, the post is [...]

An Editorial…

Good afternoon, readers (those of you that are left).  I’d like to take a moment of your time today (my birthday) to provide you with an editorial about giving advice to mothers of young children.  Please note that the opinions expressed here are not necessarily those of the station, its employees or viewers. 
Uh hmmmm…..
As you [...]

The Voices in my head told me NO

Sometimes I listen to the voices in my head.   Sometimes I don’t.
Today, there was a resounding  chorus of “No” and “Don’t do it” and “That’s not a good idea”.
But I am tired.  And need to have entertainment for a 4 year old.  On a rainy day. 
So I let her play with the glitter paint that she found [...]

Where did the time go?

I’m not really sure.
It wasn’t that long ago that I was bitching about how freaking huge I felt and how I couldn’t wait to get that little guy out.
Now – he’s 8 weeks old, smiling, holding his head up and still not sleeping through the night.
I am exhausted.
But there are things to look forward to.  [...]
