My Car Whine Again(part 2 of 3) The Dodge Neon was bought as a brand new car when Noah was a baby. Although it was bought for me with a built-in carseat for Noah, it was put in my ex’s name because “I pay the bills.” When we separated it was the car I drove […]

My Car Whine Again(part 1 of 3) The station wagon was given to us when Doug’s parents bought a new car that they intended to give Kelly as soon as she finally got her license. Their whole car shopping criteria was “How safely will it transport her 5K tuba?” They decided they’d rather give the […]

We had another geocache stolen. I’ve read enough about other caches being found destroyed to know it’s not just us having problems with vandals. Still, I feel disheartened.

Bought a cheap pair of Old Navy pants off their clearance rack because they felt really comfortable (and were again, cheap). On Sarah they would look very “Jeannie” but on me it looks like I’ve been recruited by the SLA.

Another behavior management tool was in my e-mail today. I still like the checking acount system I have set-up. I just can’t find a motivator for my children. I’m seriously considering the amount they have earned/lost at the end of the week being transferred to cash. I think that real money might motivate them better […]

On the next “Insert cheesy talk show here”, bored housewives creating webrings instead of doing their housework.

Why is it that I tell the boys to turn off their game (PS2, GameBoy, whatever) and they say “Just let me save”, they are still saving 10-20 minutes later? Why can’t they just flip the on/off switch? I’m still waiting for those chocolate covered strawberries. If they have their ad on my blog and […]
