how hot is it?

Yes, I’m weather blogging. Go ahead and report me to the blog police. Hot is the color of my world right now. No, color is wrong. Smell would be more accurate. I don’t care how good the deodorant claims to be, there is nothing strong enough for the constant 90 degree environment. Sarah and I […]

when, not if

When I am involved in another blog, I WILL … … NOT be posting the exact same thing here and there. I hate that. … speak my mind. I don’t hide behind “anonymous”. … seek intelligent debate in pursuit of solutions. … attack policies, not people. … listen and think about what other people say.

Dear Sarah

I am not sorry that you had to have a check-up today. I’m also not a horrible mother who wouldn’t let them give you shots if I really loved you. When you had your baby shots, I cried before, during and after that needle invaded your skin. As you got older, I joked and distracted […]

please give us a break

At 7:22 this morning, EVERYONE in our house was asleep. I don’t know what kind of craziness is going on, but we have more than enough on our own plate without you dragging us into your problems. Go find another playmate. That is as polite as I am going to be about this.

vampire bugs

It’s not fair to wake up with more mosquito bites than you had when you went to bed. How can I fight back at night? How extra evil is it to repeatedly attack a child sleeping in their crib? Mosquitoes are blood sucking vermin that serve no good purpose. I’m sure they rank somewhere on […]

Really?

A tourist spot? A bed and breakfast? I have been in the prison and except for the show that one of the inmates in solitary put on when he realized there were females in the building, this is not a place I would recommend to anyone for anything. The town is very quaint, but life […]

change of scenery

It’s cooler outside than it is in our house right now, so I’m going to hide in the basement and read until Doug gets home and then I’m going to sit in the air conditioned mall and read while Evan plays on the playground there. I’ll check back in a few hours to see if […]

fun with food

Evan has learned what happens when you stomp on your gogurt and he likes it. Note to self: Do not give Evan ketchup packets. Ever.

idle threats?

Remember, if we don’t get two more sponsors in the next 6 hours, Doug is going to be blogging nude from 3 a.m. until 9 a.m. Sunday morning. Since our air conditioner died yesterday, this threat feels much less sarcastic and a lot more “don’t make me do it.” Update: Just one more needed. Thank […]
