Do you ever wonder why so many people are going to died in Armageddon?  Besides the whole Christian view about those of us who forgot to throw stones at gay people are doomed, I’m pretty sure pop culture is going to kill us. Um, if you think a workout will prepare you for going days [...]

Cats and Kids Chart

These are (some of) our cats. We’d like to thank them for making our transition to parenthood so smooth. Now, the pre-kid, cat owners can rejoice over their ready-to-go parenting skills should the days of children ever arrive in their cat world.  In fact, they can start now by telling their parent-friends to try scratching [...]

Ask Alex Button

J asks: What are you supposed to do/say when another child is the grabby kid, taking a toy out of your better trained (or behaved?) child’s hand? What do you say to your kid about that? What – if anything – do you say to the grabby kid? And is what you say different if [...]

Goat Alex Photo

Scott and I head to a lovely wedding. As the rain clouds cease in time for the outdoor ceremony by an idyllic farm house, I sigh and reach for my husband’s hand. Scott looks over my shoulder and says: That goat is you. Me: Hmm, yes honey. Wait, what? I follow his gaze… Me: What [...]

When I write, I rewrite.  I often cajole others to read it.  Then I read it again.  I read it in my out-loud-in-my-head voice.  I pick and chose my line breaks and periods to create pauses and timing. One of the greatest gifts of blogging is recognizing the power of words.  That one misspelling (like [...]

Kissing my iPhone

Remember how I made fun of Twitter last week? That was hilarious, but it got me thinking. {shudder} I’ve been pondering my social media time; not like when I threatened to leave Twitter and became a silent and boring stalker, but I might be a touch overly attached to the Internet. Here’s what I committed [...]

The back reads: IN 20 MINUTES. Which shows he is aware how impatient I am.

I’m 33 years old today, and I have decided to hate my birthday. This isn’t my normal reactions to birthdays. I’m a HUGE fan of cake, balloons, cake, cards, cake, presents and cake (yellow cake with buttercream frosting please).

Writing about the darkness helped. Reading your comments here and in secret Facebook messages and on the Twitter helped. Finding this picture of my daughter helped. Taking a picture of my hat-stealing husband as he flexed and said: How can you be depressed when you’ve got a guy like me? helped.  Following it up with [...]
