As some of you may have seen, I tweeted out Tuesday about a random woman berating me for leaving Ratchet dog in the car (this is the unabbreviated version also known as why I needed a blog): I’m rounding up the kids to head to the car and take E to camp. Ratchet begs to [...]

For the past month we’ve been grocery shopping at Whole Foods, also known as Whole PAYCHECK! HAHAhahaa… Yes, I know that you already heard it. We go there because our local grocery store was bought out by a crappy grocery store and the local hippie store doesn’t carry an edible version of frozen pizza (a [...]

Face of Tennessee Coonhoond Dog Looking Into Camera

I only began watching True Blood a month ago. Try not to die of shock. We don’t have cable and the vampires didn’t sparkle. And I honestly didn’t know if I could handle another take on vampire life. Because seriously people, they don’t exist. Unlike zombies. But Scott took the plunge. And I found his [...]

Kat left this comment on yesterday’s post: Yes yes yes to all of it: the good intentions, the second child backslide, the obvious reaction when you model the behavior you don’t want them to repeat. But how do you get back to the good intentions when you barely have time or energy to think? I [...]

My Kids Playing Nicely In The Sandbox

I had a theory going into parenting: If I was, or at least acted like, the best parent ever, I would have the best behaved children ever. I told myself: I must model the behavior I seek. If I don’t want my children to grab, I don’t grab out things of their hands unless there [...]

Sometimes I wish y’all were psychic because I would ask: WHEN WILL MY CHILDREN SLEEP THROUGH THE NIGHT ON A REGULAR BASIS? But the psychics readers would just get angry about me yelling. Like five minutes before I even did. And anyway (as you KNOW), I have more pressing matter than lack of sleep for [...]

A friend emailed me about transitioning from working-outside-the-home mom to stay-at-home mom. You know, like, WHAT DO YOU DO ALL DAY? So I sent her our typical schedule with some tips as to where to go for fun around town. But I left out these ten minutes. And the bonbons. Minute One: We pull up [...]

Hand covering eyes

We are driving. Well, Scott is driving. I don’t even have to remember if that’s true. Because it is. I hate driving. Conflictingly enough, I also hate Scott driving.  Because he’s a bad driver.  After multiple arguments over me NOT WANTING TO DRIVE and me TELLING HIM HOW TO DRIVE, we’ve compromised (marriage, eh?  I’m also [...]
