If you are a regular reader, you know by now, once I get hooked on something I sometimes go a little overboard. Well, what you probably don’t know about me is I used to be a “bird lady”. Yes, at one point we had 13 parakeets and I let them fly around the…
my thoughts about life
Do we dare try again?
It is fair time again, and yes my family loves the fair. Tabitha and Trinity actually ride all the frightening crazy rides designed for adrenaline junkies. Apparently my girls get this from Louie because I feel sick just watching the rides and can’t be persuaded to ride anything at the fair. I am…
Have you ever done a crayon sweep?
As all my regular readers know, Tiara has a serious obsession with crayons. I usually buy 5 packs every time I visit Target and hide them in the hall closet. Everyday, she asks “more crayons, more crayons.” even though her basket is overflowing. She just loves the smell and feel of the new crayons. …
is it better to look good or feel good?
If you would have asked me this question 13 years ago my answer would have been unequivocally, ‘LOOK GOOD!” If you asked me today, I would say “FEEL GOOD!” Why is that? I guess with age comes a certain maturity and acceptability about who you are and what is important. The truth is if…
Are you jealous?
Everyday Louie shares my blog on his Facebook because he is trying to be supportive. Yesterday he said “I am not sharing your blog today with that big picture of Matthew McConaughey!” “Wow, are you actually jealous, love? Perfect I will write about that tomorrow.” He stomped out and went to the computer and…
Magic Mike and Fifty Shades of Grey all in one week…
For the past week I have heard the opening monologue from “Magic Mike” several times a day, courtesy of Tabitha. “THE RULES ARE: YOU CAN LOOK BUT YOU CANNOT TOUCH, BUT I SEE A LOT OF LAW BREAKERS IN THE HOUSE TONIGHT”. The crowd roars and all the ladies squeal, including my daughter. …
How can you not know what size you wear?
My husband Lou has been wearing the same size clothing for the past 10 years and yet he still can’t remember what size he wears. Lou and I have a long complicated history in regards to his wardrobe. When we met he only shopped at Nordstrom’s. He had a credit card from his parents…
My first spray tan, with Tiara in tow….
Just so you know, Tiara is now totally obsessed with the beach, which means I will be in a bathing suit all summer. I am so not happy about this. I think I have gotten away with barely exposing myself the past few summers because she wasn’t swimming, but now that has all changed…
Where is all my stuff?
If you have a teenager living with you, you understand the title of this post. Where is my stuff? Why is it that teenagers are smart enough to find everything they need of YOURS but can NEVER remember how to put anything back where it belongs? Hummmm. I guess they “just forgot”to return it…
Everyone just leave me alone…
I am having one of those days again and I just want everyone to get the hell out of my house and leave me alone. That would be heaven, so rude of me, but true. I dream of the day my house stays clean all day, no one complains they are bored, no one…
