Yes, I Use the Duggers as Punishment

March 20, 2013

Yes, I admit it. I use “19 Kids and Counting” as a form of punishment.

No Denying This, Son

March 16, 2013

“No denying this son. There is only one rear end in this house that only takes up 25% of the copy machine glass. You need a Clorox wipe so I can fax again. I don’t care if I gave you the idea when you said you needed a picture of your lizard for school. Well [...]

The Girl Who Cried Redbook (but I am really in this months issue, REALLY!)

February 8, 2013

Me, (nervously texting husband Jim at his doctors office) “Ummmm. We are in Redbook this month. Don’t kill me.” A very long period of time goes by. I even gave him allowances in case he was resuscitating someone. My mind wandered that he was so mad he was on his way home and I may need resuscitating. [...]

Ridiculous Resolution to Seize the Monkey!

January 2, 2013

I despise resolutions. If I knew I needed to change something about myself, and luckily I don’t as every year I get more perfect(ly imperfect) I know I would realize my flaw on or around January 20th. Knowing myself, I would “shelf” my personal “remodel” until January 1, of the next year because that is [...]

I figured if the party stinks it won’t matter if I get them a little tipsy…they won’t remember! I have been moping [...]

No Words Just Smiles and Laughing

December 20, 2012

My grandmother, several years ago, gave the boys this silly singing snowman from Hallmark. Peter thought it was magic. Would find him under the tree or on the kitchen floor watching it endlessly. My beloved Mamaw passed away last year and when we get it out it makes me smile too. Here we have yet [...]

Trusting Santa Clause

December 17, 2012

Another awkward family Christmas photo. What does it say about your kid if he doesn’t trust Santa? Peter is keeping his eyes on him. He looks as if he’s thinking this Clause character isn’t to be trusted. Is everyone sitting around on their couches snacking on Christmas cookies and enjoying this relaxing time of year? [...]

This is 40, Someone Stole My Life and Made a Movie

December 14, 2012

Have you seen the trailers for the movie “This is 40?” Guess when the movie is being released? That’s right! The day I turn 40!!! My parents couldn’t have had any idea when they were doing the “naughty” nine months before 12.21.72, right? I am so glad they did because I feel so special that [...]
