Last November, I wrote this letter to the Ladybug Embassy. I tried to be reasonable and allowed that they could swarm my house, as long as they would please pick somewhere different than their annual gathering place, my toddler’s bedroom. Well, they have made their annual visit into a semi-annual one, but they abided by […]
Normative Immutability
After my Axiomatically Bombastic post, I’ve had several people ask me how Ali’s Sunday Word project was going, so I decided to give you an update. Because I’m thoughtful like that. The week after A.B., her phrase was “Liberality Equals Generosity”. I’m not sure if it wasn’t difficult enough for her to appreciate the challenge, […]
Mommy Scouts
I think that we should have Mommy Scouts. You know, where we get to earn Merit Badges as we experience facets or overcome obstacles of Mommyhood. Because admit it – we’re all proud of what we’ve overcome in this crazy job, and we like wearing them like honors on our sleeves anyway, so we might […]
Pink is the New Blond
So on this season of American Idol, there have been a lot of Pink-Haired singers. Not completely pink-headed, mind you, but just with “tasteful” pink highlights:I realized last night during eliminations that I have been subconsciously cheering for all of the pink-haired people, and have been disappointed when they’ve gotten eliminated. I guess I like […]
Well, I THOUGHT That Everyone Had a Nice Time. . .
After getting Ali down for a nap after the Valentines Card-Making Party, I was walking by her kitchen and something caught my eye. . .I opened up the fridge, and look who promptly popped out, ever-so-excited to be rescued:That’s right. BabyDoll got iced at the party. Apparently we had a Toddler Mobster in our midst.
History 101 of the Teenage Jean Mutilation Epidemic.
Why do I blog about blue jeans so much? I guess I better create a category just for all of my denim drama. Every generation of teens have their own unique methods for mutilating blue jeans. MUCH to the chagrin of their parents, who just spent money to buy them perfectly new and good jeans. […]
Kitty and the Cats.
I have had the song “Benny and the Jets” stuck in my head all day, because Ali and I decided this morning that Kitty and her three cats should be a band. So we’ve been singing it all day: “Kitty and the CATS”. Then, in a complete random twist of irony, the song actually came […]
The Adventures of Just Us Girls
Last night was Girl’s Night Out!! Pre-Blog Rachel would be saying about now, “I don’t know HOW LONG it’s been since I went on girl’s night out!”. But, since I am a true blue blogger now, I have the easy reference of looking back and finding out that the last time I went on a […]
Wii Cheat With Feet.
It all started out innocently enough. . . As you know, Ali loves Wii Fit. So she was playing last night, and Chris was helping her score better (of course, she was oblivious to the fact that she was getting help).. . . but by doing so, he discovered that the balance games are actually […]
Use Extreme Caution!! Target Has Been Kidnapped by the 80’s!!
Yes! It’s true!! And truly horrific!!! Ali and I had a bit of time to kill while waiting to eat lunch with Daddy one day last week, so we browsed through Flashdance: The Store Target. It was unreal!! This sweatshirt is completely authentic. I mean, they even did the cut-out neckline for you!! And don’t […]
