Rain Makes People Cranky
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 [...]
If I Were a Virginia Voter I’d Be Ashamed
I’d be totally ashamed of myself if I lived in Virginia and had voted this asshat into public office. Bob Marshall of Manassas opposed state funding for Planned Parenthood because, “The number of children who are born subsequent to a first abortion with handicaps has increased dramatically. Why? Because when you abort the first born [...]
Let’s Try Parenting
Am I overly crazy because I expect other people’s kids to adhere to some form of decorum? You know, I thought living on an Army post that the kids would have some basic manners and self control. I was sorely mistaken. Some of the same kids who my husband just reprimanded a few weeks ago [...]
Small Talk Six – Don’t Say as I Say

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 can’t [...]
He’s Only 2!
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 way [...]

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 sentences, [...]
Random Friday Ramblings
- My 2yo has reached “naked baby stage.” He wants to take his cloths off at random times throughout the day and run around the house in his diaper. This works against him when he wants to go outside and mean ol‘ mom won’t let him because it’s too cold with no clothes on.
- I [...]
Saturday Shopping
Yesterday I had a hat thrust back upon my head that I haven’t had to wear in a long time – single parent. Sure my husband has been TDY for a week since taking this new job, but he was home for the weekends. I only had to navigate the weekdays where after my oldest [...]
As Overheard in Cracker Barrel
After allergy shots and dropping Zach as school yesterday, Aaron and I went to Cracker Barrel for breakfast. You know, my logic being it IS right next door to Home Depot, which is where I was really headed. I need a set of sturdy shelves or a cabinet for the microwave so we’re [...]
