I’ve been sitting here, trying very hard to tell you about my alien encounter.  But it seems that I’m all worked up about something else, so I’m going to give you my first ever vent.
As a mom, I feel it is important to be in contact with what’s going on with my girls.  For that [...]

A Day at the Fair

We have two major fairs in our area.  The big slick one is The Puyallup.  The smaller (probably more authentic one) is the Evergreen State Fair. We just call it the Redneck Fair.   Shaun, being the fun loving guy that he is, fully believes that we have to go to both fairs. Every. Single. Year.    
Against my wishes, we made plans to go to [...]

The Story Behind The Blog

Lisa has us answering the question, “Why do you blog?” for this Fun Monday assignment.
“So how many hits a day are you getting on your blog now” my beloved asked me last night.  I told him and he merely sighed and shook his head.  Then he looked me in the eyes and told me that [...]

Becoming Obsolete

Yesterday I opened my email to find that Shaun had sent me a link to an article on MSNBC.  It was titled ”Saying Goodbye to your College-Bound Kids”.  Basically it was all about the melancholy so many parents feel when their children go off to school.  I just laughed and then replied to my beloved that KT was moving up to high [...]

My Very Important Job

As chauffeur of the family, I seem to find myself doing a lot of waiting.  Currently it’s only Martial Arts but the girls are trying to go nearly every day.   It’s only about an hour so it really doesn’t make sense to go back home after dropping them off.   I usually use that time to sit in [...]

The Joys of TV

When I was a kid, I loved watching TV.  I spent as much time as I possibly could with Gilligan, Speed Racer, Gopher, and Gage.  I dreamed of living on the ranch with Little Joe or hanging out with Laura on the Prairie.  Life was good. 
Then one day, the TV died yet again.  My cruel and [...]

Shark Attack

Lately there has been a battle over who gets to drive whenever we go somewhere.  Shaun wants to drive everywhere with the top down on the Jeep because of the glorious weather.  KT wants to drive everywhere because it is a new skill and such a novelty for her. 
So when Mimi needed to be [...]

Fretting About Facebook

 I’m still working on the abc encyclopedia of me.  I double checked the rules, and lucky for me, it didn’t say anything about doing the alphabet in order!  On to the letter “F”!
Everybody knows that anybody who wants to be considered somebody has a Facebook page (or is planning on it!) by now.  Now, I don’t have [...]
