I’m old

That’s what I’m feeling right now as I get ready to leave to go to my sister’s house for my nephew’s graduation party/excuse for the parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles & cousins to get together and drink until 3:00am. I remember the day he was born…racing to the hospital to hold my very first nephew. And [...]

A huge loss to political discourse.

With one exception, I have stayed away from all-things-politics on here.  This isn’t even really political, aside from the fact that he hosted a political show. The news of Tim Russert’s death of an apparent heart attack at the young age of 58 saddens me in a way that I don’t think I can quite [...]

Fun with Search Engines, Part “Please Never Let Me Run In to These Freaks!”

We spent the morning at the pool, just me and the 3 kids.  I can already tell what fun this summer is going to be.  And although I was diligent about the SPF 50 on the kids, guess what blonde-haired, blue-eyed dipshit who hasn’t been in any real sun since last summer forgot to put sunscreen on [...]

A little Fluff on a rainy day…

(Damn, now I want a peanut butter and fluff sandwich for lunch!) I am so behind on my memes, but the truth is I save them for days when I just need to bang out a post ’cause I got shit to do I put so much thought in to them that it can sometimes [...]

Perhaps I was just looking for more blog fodder?

….because I know that this decision will be a source of unlimited pissed-offedness. We joined the YMCA today. Not exactly earth-shattering news, I know.  Except that just two short years ago, I cancelled my membership and told the Director that she would be ice-skating in Hades before she got another penny from me. What can [...]

Wrinkles aren’t THAT bad, are they?

I just spent the last 30 minutes ironing a shirt and karate patches on the Princes uniforms and they both still look like crap. Thirty.Fucking.Minutes (although the first 10 minutes were spent trying to remember where I stashed the ironing board) I’ve mentioned before that I don’t iron.  I hate it and so I purposely buy wrinkle-resistant shirts (the ones [...]

Friday Photos

It’s been a while since I posted a picture of The Queen and I have just one question for you moms of daughters. What the Hell am I supposed to do with her hair? Don’t get me wrong…I love the curls.  But they are always in her eyes and trying to get her to keep [...]

Just a quickie…

and not the good kind…..but I am running out to the Fun Fair at Prince #1′s school and will be back around lunchtime.  This isn’t the only post for today, but I just wanted to mention that I am ONCE AGAIN promising to be better with comments on the blog and have/will respond(ed) (I hate [...]

So if you meet me, have some courtesy.

Have some sympathy and taste… I’ve had that song running through my head ever since I first told the story of JeepBitch and BMWBitch (and if you only know the Guns N’ Roses version, then you are either too young to be reading blogs or have horrible taste in music!) and I know that I promised [...]

The downside to being frugal

Well, I promised that we would play catch-up.  Let’s see how many of these things I can combine in to one post! First – the virus:  On the reccommendation of BlogWhichShallRemainNamelessBecauseItIsn’tHerFault, I signed up for WebsiteThatShallRemainUnNamedBecauseTheyCouldSueMyAssIntoBankruptcy and started taking the surveys.  After filling out registrations, surveys and forms, most of which took 5-10 minutes for [...]
