Queen of Rambles

We were out of bed at 6 am for the second day in a row. I was awake by 4 am for the second day of the row. I was awake till at least midnight for the second night in a row. I am going to be one grouchy bitch today. Also, I may invest [...]

Caroline tagged me for a meme! I know it is the epitome of uncool to do a gleeful little “someone loves me!” dance when you get tagged, but what can I say? No one is ever going to mistake me for the prom princess or hot cheerleader. Cool doesn’t come naturally. The meme is that [...]

From time to time I see all the buses on the roads here and tell Mike I should be a bus driver. I don’t mind driving, and from the driver’s seat of my car it seems like a pretty low stress job. I will NEVER say that again. We took the bus to the gym [...]

I joined the Menu Plan Monday people once, then promptly forgot all about it. How about another round? Monday: Carrie’s Crazy Lasagna Tuesday: Spicy Polynesian Wraps I serve these with a sauce made from half mango chutney and half sour cream. I also throw on a spicy peanut sauce that really adds a tasty kick. [...]

We spent a frustrating day driving around desirable neighborhoods, looking for Open House signs. I suppose somewhere out there we could have found a listing of all the open houses, along with important information like price, number of bedrooms and so forth. Instead, we drove blind and were met with frustration. We found a couple [...]

It’s Friday afternoon and I’m flying! I spent 45 minutes cleaning the house, something I rarely do. It almost looks livable in here! If I spent another 45 minutes I could probably call it clean. But then Erik would destroy it again, so what’s the point? I am the best mom in the world because [...]

I have no idea what yesterday was all about, but I think it may have had to do with lack of sleep. The child slept till 8 am today, which meant I got more sleep than I’ve gotten in weeks. I felt about 1000000000000000 times better and didn’t whine a single time today. Ok, I [...]

I can feel myself slipping below the verge, unable to stop myself from thinking thoughts of self-hatred and angst. I was so up on Sunday that I don’t understand how I can suddenly find myself in a stupor, unable to form the motivation necessary to dress my child (knowing he’ll scream like a banshee) and [...]

The gang at Mickey’s clubhouse is helping Goofy get ready for a date. With a cow. Is this really a plot my two year old needs to watch? Does a dog-man really need to date a cow?

Today has been one of those days. I find myself in dire need of a sensory deprivation tank, chocolate, and some kind of hard liquor. The boy is not happy. He had nightmares all night long, resulting in a cranky, screaming day. All day it’s been the same. He wants something. I say no. He [...]
