Stop Thinking About Me

A few years ago Gary bought a 60″ TV for a screamin’ deal of $200. He loved his TV. To me, 60″ is obnoxiously huge, but it made Gary happy so that made me happy. Gary’s TV served us well for the few years that we owned it. About a week ago the colors [...]

I recently discovered something. If you are going to have a “high level disagreement” with your spouse, make sure it is on a Thursday. Gary and I had such an episode this past Thursday. I was furious with Gary and he was furious with me and we went against all “old people advice” and we [...]

When Olivia was born I was so excited for her to experience so many things. Every time there was something that looked like fun I felt compelled to sign her up and make her participate. I hated being told she was too young for something.
It has been a long five years, but the day [...]

I wanted to make a fun Easter treat that did not involve my kids being in the kitchen and minimal effort. I came across these fun Bunny Car Racers while I was reading Heather’s Family Fun magazine at Gracen’s birthday party.
Something you may not know about me is that I am pretty good at [...]

I am not a very fun mom. There are many things that my kids do very rarely or not at all because it would send me into a cardiac arrest and the price of a home defibrillator doesn’t make it into our budget.

Yesterday was HORRIBLE!!! I went upstairs to get Gray-bee out of his crib only to find that he had projectile vomited through the bars of his crib and left a lovely stream of barfy on the carpet.
I use baby wipes to pick up the bigger chunks of cheese which makes me realize that we have [...]

The downstairs bathroom is finished!!! Click here for larger pictures. Gary worked so hard and finished his bathroom very quickly. I say “his” bathroom because we have decided that the upstairs bathroom (when finished) will be mine and the kids and the downstairs, Gary gets to have all to himself. We’re toying with the idea [...]

For the family Christmas Exchange we had Holly and Holly had us. Holly was good and posted almost immediately after Christmas about her gift from us. It is now March and I am only now posting about our gift from her. It is safe to say that she did not give us the gift of [...]

I love shopping. Finding great deals is the thrill of the hunt!
I hate running in the store to quickly grab something while Gary is waiting in the car with the kids. Shopping is supposed to be enjoyable, not rushed.
I love Peanut M&M’s, orange juice, black pepper, and buttered toast.
I hate carbonated drinks, fish, [...]
