I am jinxed. Well, when it comes to electronics anyway. As a matter of fact, my loving Hubby has “banned” me from touching his laptop. (Yeah, so he doesn’t have to know I touch touch TOUCH it just to spite him ALL the time) Ahem. Anyway, back to me. I have managed to kill one computer, one cell phone and… View Post
Warm and Fuzzy Feelings Can Get You Through
My children are healthy. Hubby is snoring beside me. Cat is fat, funky and funny. The Dog is a senior citizen and regularly emits what can only be described as toxic fumes. The house is full of laughter, hormones and sometimes tears. There are celebrations to look forward to, and dreams not yet come true. There are hard times behind… View Post
Tips For Surviving A Sleep Over In The Suburbs
1. First, we need to change the name of these damn things. These events are in no way “Sleep” overs. “Stay” screaming, giggling, eating, being as loud as humanely possibly overs. This would be much more accurate! 2. Caffeine is required. New rule for a more civilized suburb society: If you take your daughter to one of these “Stay” overs,… View Post
Party Mama, Suburbs Style?
My “baby” turns thirteen this week. Thirteen. I am so not ready to be the Mama of a teenager. This thrusts us into a whole new era of well, everything!! Including birthday parties? I actually thought we might be done with parties. I like a good birthday party, but I am not one of those crazed “Party Mamas”. For one… View Post
Does Facebook Make Mean Girls, Meaner?
I am the last great resister. Well, at least according to my oldest slightly dramatic completely normal daughter. Up until this week I have flat out refused to allow my almost 13 year old to “get” facebook. Even as the compliments were thrown at me: “Please Best Mom in the world!” “You are AWESOME” “You so don’t look 40 Mom”. … View Post
Awkward Moments Courtesy Of Granny?
So I kind of thought I was the pioneer in this family of writing the passive aggressive love letters, voicing my inner most thoughts for the entire world to see, you know getting it all down on “paper”. Turns out I am but a babe. My Granny, she is the grand dame of letters and poetry and she showed her… View Post
My Girls Love Bugs – HEXBUGS!
My girls were spoiled this year. Thanks to Aunts, Uncles, Grandparents and detailed lists to Santa, I’m pretty sure every wish they had came true. One gift my youngest received was the HEXBUG Nano Habitat and some fantastic wiggly creatures to go with it. I was fairly certain this would be met with glee, but to be honest, not 100%… View Post
Escaping The Suburbs
It doesn’t always go the way you planned. Our plan; one last great escape before 2011 came to a close. The kids had a ridiculous amount of time off school…two whole weeks..and we needed a not so “spendy” way to carve out some family time together! It should have gone like this: -Picture perfect Christmas. Leave It To Beaver style. … View Post
Christmas Eve, Trampolines and Tossed Cookies
Christmas Eve was a great success. Dinner at the in-laws, gift opening, giggling grand children, too much food and Great Grandma falling asleep in her chair. There is something reassuring about consistency. Christmas Eve saw the traditional opening of one gift, new PJ’s and Christmas Cookies for Santa. Sweetness. The kids went to sleep quickly, I was the one up… View Post
