There really are no words for someone sitting in a baby stroller smoking waiting for a child to get off a kiddie ride at the fair.

Check This Out

Because I said so. Oh, you want more of a reason? Why? My word isn’t good enough? I’m hurt. OK, OK. You need to go visit Lorie at The Shewbridges of Central Florida because she’s the sweetest person I’ve ever met in my time blogging. She leaves the nicest comments. She takes the time to… read more »

Jerri Ann Writes Sports?

This is what went through my head when I found out. Admittedly yes, I didn’t know this. I know Jerri Ann as the kind, helpful fellow blogger over at Collective Bias who I can count on to have posts as wordy as mine. I love her for that. Now I find out she’s been holding… read more »

Nutritional Advice from the McDonald’s Drive Thru

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… read more »

Grocery Shopping Tips

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… read more »

Wegmans

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… read more »

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 publicĀ  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… read more »

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… read more »

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… read more »
