A long, dry season
For those of us in blended-family land, it’s been a long, long summer. I never exactly know how to feel about this particular season. My husband and I are the primary parents to our massive brood of kids; but come summer, visitation schedules change, culling our herd. How would I describe it?
By the school year’s end I am ready for his change. Not ready to say goodbye, per se; just ready for the...

Last time I got the Albert Einstein tongue picture.
I’m just not ready for that today.

Truthful Tuesday
I made these mini cakes for a luncheon my mom was going to. And though I had to do a million different things to save them, in the end I ended up kind of proud of myself. I know being proud is the precursor to falling flat on my face… but I still can’t help it.

Truthful Tuesday
I almost never play this game, but my mind is super preoccupied today. As I’ve mentioned before, my daughter is going to be on a reality TV show. And because much of it was filmed at our house, so will I.
I am so super scared I’m going to come off like a big giant douche.
It’s reality TV. How can I not look like a douche?
I am not a reality TV person, per se. My sense of...

For absurdity, how about those four Navy F-18s flying over the stadium - with its retractable roof closed? Everybody inside could only see the planes on the stadium’s video screens. It was strictly a two-second beauty shot. Know what it cost taxpayers? I’ll tell you: $450,000. (The Navy justifies the expense by saying it’s good for recruiting.)
Emphasis mine. It is...

Also this other time
back in college I went with some friends to go see a comedy. We needed something uplifting because we had just finished finals and blahblahblah and hey look, this one starts in a few minutes and it sounds like it would be hilarious so that’s how we ended up seeing My Left Foot.

So Steve is all,
“I got Buried on Netflix” and I’m all, “Haha wouldn’t it be funny if the whole movie was some guy buried in a box?”
sigh
My problem is I can't just let cute be.
I'm freaking out
I just read an article on head lice and now I got the twitchies. I keep thinking bugs are on my clothes.

Dear Baby: Letting it go. →
dearbaby:
I don’t know what started it, really - maybe it was the fact that Brent and I had gotten in an argument on Friday night over the fact he finds my irrational fear of insects silly (at dinner, with friends, no less). Maybe it was that Everly has been refusing to take naps for the past few days and…

Best StoryCorps EVAR
If you listen to NPR on Friday mornings, you can catch a really cool bit of radio, called StoryCorps. Today’s was particularly fantastic.
