This is one of those posts that’s going to either make you think that I’m a bit crazy, or you’re going to say “YES!!! I’ve experienced that! I’m glad I’m not the only crazy one!” (So, I guess either way, you’re going to think I’m crazy.) Oh well. Chris and I encountered a strange phenomenon […]
A Foreshadowing? …The Cattle are Glowering.
If any of you had any slight deja vu feelings come over you while reading my Halloween Post (I Love My Husband Even When He’s An…) earlier this week, you weren’t crazy. There is, actually, a possible explanation as to why I would want my husband to dress up as a donkey, and evidence that […]
Pleading Insanity Due To Internal Parasite.
Pregnancy is a voluntary state of insanity. It makes you do things, think things, and eat things that you would have never DREAMED of doing, thinking, or eating before nor (ohISoHope) after. Ali and I went to lunch with Ashley, AJ, and Tessa last week. After lunch, we walked down the street to a local […]
…Because I Like To Make an Impression at Social Events…
Chris and I had the privilege of attending the Birmingham Restaurant Week Preview Party on Wednesday night, compliments of Birmingham Magazine, from whom I won a contest for two tickets. (Which, by the way, if you’re in the area and don’t know about Birmingham Restaurant Week, you absolutely must check it out – it starts […]
Hijacked.
These days I often feel like I have been totally and completely hijacked. It’s as if Noah is a miniature computer-programming genius (I picture him looking like a 15-inch-tall Riley from National Treasure) that has broken into my system controls, cracked my password, disabled my alarm system and security cameras, and scrambled all of my […]
Pregnancy: You Know, THAT Dream Come True.
There are certain dreams that are universal, for whatever psycho-babbly Freudian reason. We all dream that we can fly… We all dream that we’re in our underwear in front of everyone we know… And, in the morning, when it’s almost time to wake up and we’ve been sleeping soundly for many hours, we all dream […]
The Ultimate Mom Jeans Battle: Momternity Jeans.
I sorted through all of my maternity clothes a while ago. It brought back fond memories, I-can’t-believe-I-was-that-huge memories, and I-don’t-know-if-I-can-stomach-to-wear-that-one-more-time memories. And then I got to my jeans. Holy Maternity Cow. The Mom Jeans Factor of the jeans I wore for my entire pregnancy with Ali was OFF THE CHARTS. I wore those?!? Those pockets?!? […]
The End of the Sucking Saga.
So. Remember my deepest, darkest, Mommy secret? And my failed past attempts to take away Ali’s Ring of Mordor? ***Cringing in shame*** Yes, indeed, I have not been brave enough to finally pull the plug, as it were, on my 3 1/2 year old’s halfway-through-the-nap-paci-getting habits. But fortunately, if I’m not brave enough to deal […]
The First Step is Admitting That I Have a Problem.
If you are a Mom like me that has found quite a bit of lethargic pleasure in renewing your love of coloring thanks to having a coloring-aged-kid (even if you are also, like me, a serial crayon breaker), THEN YOU MUST GO TO TARGET RIGHT NOW. You have no idea the level of satisfaction – […]
If Only I Could Have Put a Bag Over That Bag Over My Head…
Here in Alabama, certain seasons change a lot quicker than the rest of the country. For instance, our summers usually begin somewhere around late February….and football season begins somewhere in May. Okay, maybe not for everyone, but Chris most definitely starts his preparations and excitement at the beginning of the summer…as if he can already […]
