Spoiler Alert! Spoiler alert in case you don’t know who the real Santa is. If I ever turn up dead it was one of the three UPS drivers that came to my house today that did it. Or my husband Jim did it, I suppose. For the same before mentioned packages. Like and subscribe to […]
Trusting Santa Clause
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? […]
The Newtown Tragedy and Trying to Explain to Our Boys
I keep going over what I am going to say to my boys about today’s tragedy in Newtown when they get home. I am raising three young men. When something like this happens it is nearly always a man who has done it and I cannot help it, I am human, and I think about […]
This is 40, Someone Stole My Life and Made a Movie
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 […]
Therapist for Mothers of Boys
I’m just now getting into shower because washing machine is broken (!!!!!) and repair guy will be here in a few minutes. I would like to wash the cricket, worm guts, lizard and frog germs off of me. I feed baby crickets to raise into big crickets and then I feed baby crickets to red […]
The Mama in Pajamas, Like the Llama but Pumping Gas
When did I become a person who pumps gas in my pajamas? As if my fuzzy chenille old lady cardigan and ballet flats makes it ok. I’m the Mama in Pajama’s instead of the “Llama in Pajama’s” that your kids have read about. If I lived in my hometown in Michigan still, never! Somehow, I […]
Do I really need to tell people?
So do I really need to tell people the things that explode out of my face? Sometimes I don’t say anything, when something should be said. I like to see the uncomfortable faces. It isn’t as if I even look like there is a possibility being a stripper is my career, unless it was in […]
You May See Me on a “Walmart People” Website
If you know me…at all…you know I would rather swim in acid than exercise at the YMCA or go to Walmart. Our 13 year olds have heard of this “Black Friday” and begged all day for us to go see the people camping and fighting, like everyone on television was talking about. Jim and I […]
Unlovable but Likable
You can use the state of my closet as an indicator to know my current mental status. My closet told me today I was bat-$hit crazy. I have decided if I clean out my closet I will be able to carry on with my Christmas decorating and baking. If, when I am finished, I do […]
Shopping With Kids Tips – I am so not serious!
Who wants to go shopping with me? You better have on comfortable shoes and a water bottle in that purse. My favorite aunt taught me to keep a little peanut butter in the car to sustain you while shopping. Will someone please come and cut my Internet cable and give my iPhone a bath? […]
Confession, I am a Hoarder
I spent all day yesterday on a ladder and with a bucket cleaning our front porch. Not until I was done did I feel genuinely bad my neighbors had to look at our mildewed white porch all fall. I do this a couple of times a year but it has been a really rainy year […]
Even The Universe Finds Us Ridiculous
My husband and I have been together since we were kids in rural Michigan. Our families still share vegetables, (mostly because they want to rub it in each others faces who’s came in first and who has the biggest) and my husband never had a washer and dryer growing up. Sundays were laundromat days with […]
Friendships, Opinions and Social Media
It is so hard to voice political opinions when you are talking friendships. You want to respect one another. I have been very careful to not voice my opinion online. I was just over on my Facebook page and found so many people I respect and care about are complaining about the outcome of the […]
We Could all Use a Laugh Today
I rolled the dice yesterday knowing I live in a community of overachievers. I figured if I waited until the last minute to vote, all my responsible neighbors would be done already. I parked and walked right in. Not one person ahead of me at 5:08. I outsmarted the smarties! I voted while talking to […]
Should Have Married a Dentist
I love iPhoto. I tried repeatedly to erase a blemish on someone’s face before I realized my laptop screen has a little boy “finger goober” on it. Then I had that “oh crap” moment! You know, the moment you realize you just sprayed your laptop screen with your dogs breath spray instead of the screen cleaner. […]
