Got Shots: Part Deux

First of all, this title has nothing to do with the post other than the fact that the post is about taking my deux-year old to “get shots”… I set off to write a very different post than this ended up being, which happens sometimes. Okay then! Onward!     The guiltxiety one feels before MORE »

Sleep Training… Myself

I am not a morning person. Totally embarrassed to admit this but I typically don’t get out of bed until 8:00 am 8:30 most mornings. Sometimes as late as 9:00 9:30. AM.

I was a mess of emotions and not just because “my baby is growing up.” I never thought I’d be the kind of parent who sent my kid to a school where uniforms were mandatory.

After School Special

I’ll be honest, I wasn’t looking forward to summer. I’ve never been a fan. The heat gives me migraines, not to mention rashes and bacne but beyond the superficial obvious, I only just recently mastered the art of time/life/family/work management and was worried this summer business might just fuck it all up.    I had MORE »

The Cost of Date Night

You know that show “What you Get for the Money?” I love that show. I want to do “How much does your date night cost?”        

Birthday Cake for Breakfast

Last week, for Hal’s birthday I bought him a cake. Archer and I went to our favorite local bakery, picked a cake from behind the glass display case and drove it home slowly as not to damage the expert sweet-lady-icing job. The plan was to surprise Hal with his fancy cake after the dinner we MORE »
