After Zach got his allergy shots today, I took the kids to McDonald’s to grab dinner. Not high on the nutritional priorities, but it’s hot, McD’s is fast, and once in awhile it won’t kill anyone. So I go through the drive thru and order. Then I pay. Then I get to the window where [...]
Why is it that when people grocery shop in a store that offers a kids’ place they still tote their 4 kids under 5 around with them? PUT THEM IN THE KIDS’ PLACE, please. It does us ALL a favor. My kids are either there or at home for a reason. Shopping with them is [...]
When anyone brings up how large our nation’s deficit is, the first battle cry is “Cut defense spending!” Here’s why that’s not a good idea. The Department of Defense rarely cuts the budget where they *should* trim the fat. Usually it’s all our military families who lose out. The services we have that are contracts [...]
While grocery shopping, I learned rain makes people cranky. I was in the parking lot trying to find a space near a cart return. With my fibromyalgia, I know that by the time I get out of the grocery store after a weekly shop, my body has had it. With the rain, I already had [...]

I have to admit I busted a gut when I saw what this week’s topic is. I don’t have the cleanest mouth East of the Mississippi. “6 things you say, but wouldn’t want your children to repeat.” I’m adding a disclaimer right here and now. I have never claimed to be politically correct. 1. “You [...]
Yes, I’m quite aware my son is gigantic for his age. I’ve become much more aware of this in recent weeks while meeting my boys’ fall clothing needs. My son who is two requires size 5 clothing and size 12 shoes! He’s two! TWO! TWO! And I don’t need the questions from strangers asking how [...]
This week’s Small Talk Six topic is “6 things people do that you think are beyond lazy.” I have to admit I think of my oldest son on this one. He’s always one to take the easy way out, or what he perceives to be the easy way out. 1. Shoving toys out of the [...]
I think Karen said it best with her intro this week. I’m not going to mess with perfection. From the hosting blog, MomDot: Today’s topic is “6 pieces of advice that you think are obvious, but some people just need to hear.” You can answer this with a list of 6 words, 6 phrases, 6 [...]
