A Quick Deduction

Ugh, I don’t even know how I’m going to write this post, I’m so distracted by Salvador Perez pressing his face against the front window and mewing like we never feed him and don’t let him sleep in the warm basement, [...]
"And here you have the body of a young stay at home mother who was smothered by her children while she had the flu. Incredibly sad."

Death Warmed Over

Oh, cruel fate. I have to say, there’s nothing a mother in charge of small children enjoys more than being sick for a week and half, feeling at the top of her game for two days, and then coming down with the plague right after. Health, [...]

How To Disappoint Small Children At Christmas

Ahh, there’s nothing like the smell of bleach in the afternoon. Am I right, or am I right? That’s correct. I’m wrong, it’s horrible, and I’m blinking through the fumes in order to write this post. Dedication, it’s [...]
Not our actual tree, parquet floors or full moon.

A Tree For Thee

We survived the holiday weekend, but I’m being proactive with combatting any weight I gained, by cooking up all the noodles and cheese in the house and eating all of it today. Less temptation for being sidetracked when I’m cleansing [...]

Just A Red Letter Day

I’d like to state, here and now, tea is no substitute for coffee. Yeah, I said it. I’m not trying to split you all into steeping and brewing factions, but lets just say I had to settle for pumpkin flavored leaves for the last two [...]
