Procrastination a.k.a. Book Review from Hell - Part I
Wow, so what’s been going on the last month? Where have I been? Or have you noticed the ‘absence’? Actually, a better question is ‘Where has my ‘free time’ gone the last 2+ YEARS? Well, let me tell you. It’s...

Medical Malady & Julia's birthday
So, here I am writing again. After a long bloody time. Maybe it was the ‘allergic reaction’ I apparently got that caused hives over 80% of my body. Hey, click here for a pic of the fun. It’s hot. I...

BEYOND PICKY
What kid doesn’t like juice? What kid doesn’t like grapes? PB&J? Not any longer. I need help – desperately. I think I need a Dr. Mom (or Dad) who can help me with a…uh…problem. I’ve done my research on-line, taken...

Ambition

Poop Privacy Hypocrisy
I realize most parents probably don’t go around telling people about their lack of bathroom privacy beefs or that it is 100% certain that 1+ child will always follow you into the bathroom regardless of the business you must attend...

Bug Battle Continues - Scorpions
Ah…so I was going to write about my son’s 4 year-old fraudulent birthday ‘party’ last Saturday but decided I’d write about something more titillating first. I don’t mean to beat this bug battle to death but I found a dead...

Box Wine
Though I’ve actually choked down consumed box wine, I have to admit I am a closet box drinker and then only occasionally to make my cheap financially responsible husband happy. I won’t even throw the empty wine box into...

Buy My House
My husband and I have been trying to ‘brainstorm’ ideas on how to get out the financial ruin sticky situation we’re currently in. See, our house has been on the market a wee going on five months now (ouch)...

Starbucks Drive-Thru's. Where are ya'll?
First off - yeah, I said "ya'll" and I'm totally kidding. I really don't say that. Yet. And, I give – who hid the drive thru coffee joints in this place? In Seattle, you certainly don’t have to drive far...

Are you a NON-CRIMINAL
OMFG. I cannot believe the extent NON-CRIMINALS have to go to just to live. I have been stewing a bit lately due to the administrative hell I’ve been stuck in. Without boring you with all the details (I’m sure other...

She Hates Us - Why?
Julia hates us. At least that is what my husband keeps mumbling repeatedly at 3:00am each morning. I said she only kind of dislikes us, HATE is a strong word. I ALMOST wrote a post the first few days after...

Poor Peter Cook
Huh. So 47 year-old Peter Cook is SORRY. How sweet. For those who don't know who I'm referring to - Christie Brinkley's cheating husband. Maybe we should all feel sorry for him. He’s “contrite, “sorry” and “stupid”. According to him...

I’m Sorry I’m Not Fat

Don't Cry ME a River Sister!
“I ‘have’ to work”. “I’m SO stressed out and would do anything not to work”. “You’re so lucky you don’t ‘have’ to work”. Excuse me? I couldn't possibly have heard that correctly....
