So I had a very irritable day on Saturday. I’m usually pretty even-keeled (here’s hoping that my hubby would agree with that statement), but something was up on Saturday. And I had to apologize to him several times. Anyway. We had to stop by CVS that evening to get a gift bag and tissue paper. […]
A Neighborhood Mystery is Afoot. . .
A few days ago, I walked out to get the mail. When I got there, I was quite puzzled by the sudden appearance of this: NO, not all the dirt and grime on our mailbox. That’s always been there and has no projection of being removed any time soon. A raised, green reflective dot, about […]
Count on a Toddler to Not Make You Read Between the Lines.
Ali’s vacation withdrawals haven’t been nearly as bad as I’d feared. She’s mentioned Tennessee and being in a house with everybody a couple of times, but it really just hasn’t been a big deal. However, one thing that has been troubling her is that her “message” from Pop somehow got erased. You see, Pop left […]
Happy Mother’s Day! And Stuff.
I hope all of the Mothers out there are having a fantastic Mother’s Day (or “Mommy’s Day”, as we explained it to Ali). And for those of you who weren’t being heathens (like us) and coming home from vacation, I hope that Church was wonderful as well. Because on Mother’s Day, all of the Pastors […]
The Study of Styling the Curly Haired Toddler by a Straight Haired Mom.
It has taken me 28 months to conquer this art. Okay, maybe not that long. After all, she didn’t enough hair to curl up or spazz out until about 12 months. So it has taken me 16 months. But I believe that I have FINALLY discovered how to “fix” Ali’s hair. No longer will she […]
Reuniting With an Old Friend
Dear Sudafed and your generic friends, I didn’t realize until this weekend how much I have missed you. I haven’t used you since you became so difficult to ascertain, thanks to your horrific aiding of illicit drug makers. That, coupled with the fact that I haven’t had sinus problems since I gave birth. However, something […]

Ears and Deers
. . .yes. . .I know there’s no “s” after deer. But it didn’t rhyme without it. . . Although I thought Ali was all better at my last update, Ali and I went to the doctor this morning after all. She had been telling us all weekend that her ear hurt. She’s never had […]
The Kitchen Cock
Wedding presents. They’re lovely things, aren’t they? I don’t know about y’all, but by the time we finished returning the 5 coffee makers we received to buy the towels and silverware that we got none of, and everything else that needed returning, we had a running list of what brands could be returned to what […]
The Next Mary Kay.
Ali scored a set of makeup, or as she calls it, “hakeup”, as a party favor at Amy Beth’s birthday party. And as I’ve mentioned several times, she already loved playing with (but not touching) my makeup, so this was a truly awe-inspiring moment for her. And I do believe that she has just about […]
