Parenting #Fails

FAIL

Why can’t kids come with instruction manuals? The older my son gets, the more parenting #fails I have.  You would think that by now, I would have this parenting thing down pat.  I’ve been doing it for 10 years after all.  Maybe its just a sign of my own old age that I’m becoming more [...]

The Recorder

the recorder

I thought there would be by some miracle that I wouldn’t have to endure this pain. What is this pain that I speak of you may ask. The recorder. A musical “instrument” given to elementary school students to torture parents teach them who knows what about music. I had one when I was in 3rd [...]

Morning Monster

Exorcist head spin

Why can’t my son just get up in the morning like a normal my-life-is-full-of-rainbows-and-unicorns-and-cotton-candy person? Why must he instead wake up like a rabie-infected-lion-on-the-prowl-for-food-and-you-look-like-a-big-juicy-Tbone-steak?? When I try to wake him up you would think he was some angry at the world punk teenager.  He screams at me.  Tells me no. Thrashes around in his bed [...]

A Treasure Trove of Good Advice

I meant to write this post a couple weeks ago when it happened but life got in the way.  Even still it’s a hilarious conversation between my bff Dawn and I.  The following  conversation took place via text on December 23 around 6pm. Me:  I just finally started all my wrapping. Dawn: Ewww I’m done [...]

Me Vs. The Hamster: The Conclusion

You guys are probably just dying to know what ever happened between me and the hamster, right?  I guess I slacked a little on the update so here it is. I won. Oh yeah, I won.  (doing a happy dance) And I swear its not because he gave up.  Nope.  I am just that good. [...]

No you can’t have a bite of my pickle, you can have the whole thing

My friend Dawn and I were at a kids sporting event not that long ago for an all day event.   At lunchtime Dawn went and got a sandwich and brought it back to our seats. As she’s eating her delicious buffalo chicken wrap, another mom sitting behind us (who Dawn sort of knows) leans over [...]

Me vs. The Hamster

Recently we got a new hamster because Hunter’s other hamster died suddenly so we went out and bought a new one. This one is much bigger than the last, he’s a fancy teddy bear hamster and is black and white.  Like a panda. So anyways,  Hunter is away, so I go to check on the [...]

Best. Reaction. Ever.

I decided to plan a quick weekend trip with Hunter this summer during my vacation in a couple weeks.  He’s wanted to go to Washington, D.C. for a while now to see all the museums (I think its because of the Night at the Museum movies) so I decided that would be a fun trip. [...]

What is with all the 3-D Movies?

3D movie

I hate 3-D movies. There I said it.  And I’ll say it again. I. Hate. 3-D. Movies. So what is with almost every single movie coming out in 3-D?  Especially all the kids ones?  And now 3-D TVs are supposedly going to be the new wave of the future? Are you kidding me? Someone please [...]

I fell off a chair lift and lived to tell about it

I have been skiing my whole life.  I can remember being a little girl flying straight down black diamonds with my mom screaming behind me not to go down it.  I can ski.  Recently (last year) I took up snowboarding. I’m a quick learner and not bad either.  So i can confidently say, I can [...]
