FAIL

First of all, addendum to yesterday’s post:
-I regularly forget Luke’s snack on Tuesdays since I don’t pack him a lunch on that day. Yep, it happened today.
-I did not get mooned today. Yay for me.
Friday was not my best performance as a mom. Yes, we were just coming off some major sickness [...]

Keepin’ It Real

So. Katie had this great post a while back about “truth-in-blogging,” if you will. The idea that sometimes, bloggers only show you the shiny, happy moments and gloss over what’s really going on. (Katie: I planned to just comment on your post, but alas, Blogger was cranky that day and I couldn’t [...]

This is the Pits.

As of 15 minutes ago, there are now three of us with the flu in this house. In addition to Luke (Friday) and me (today), I noticed that Bennett was looking feverish right before bed. And sure enough, he was.
I started feeling really crummy this morning, and my cold symptoms quickly [...]

Frustrated.

Ok, so most of you know that I’m married to a banker. Obviously, that impacts my view of banks in a way that may be different from someone outside of this situation. So that’s my disclaimer…

Bear with me as I chronicle our 10th anniversary.
Matt and I talked about gifts, and while he really wanted to buy me something expensive like diamond earrings (something I mentioned years ago would make a lovely 10th anniversary gift), I talked him out of it. I know, what girl tells her husband NOT to [...]

You’ll Never Guess What I Just Did!

Clues:
*It involves an old, expensive article of clothing. In fact, I believe I only own two pieces of clothing that are older than this one. (and those should be blogged about sometime)
*This is something I’ve been thinking about for about two years now.
*When I bought it, I thought for sure I’d only ever [...]

Where Have I Been?

a) Frantically trying to keep up with the laundry which, as I shared with a couple of friends today, seems to be having babies when I put clothes in the hamper.
b) Still trying to accomplish the things on this list. I also added a couple of things to the list, and I AM going to [...]

Wordless Wednesday: Flashback, 1995.

Ya’ll know I can’t actually be wordless, don’t you? 1995. It was a good year.

You Know You’re Getting Old When…

…you’re playing Memory with your four-year-old and:
1. You are working really, really hard to stay awake. After all, it’s 1pm, you’ve had lunch, and naptime sounds like a great idea. But only to you. Never to the 4-year-old who has sworn off ever napping again.
2. Your 4-year-old is effortlessly making [...]
