Only in Wisconsin…

…can it be 72 degrees on November 5, one degree short of the record, only to be expecting, based on the forecast, 40 degrees for a high and snow by November 8. It really sucks when you know that today is the last nice day we’ll probably see until April or May! But we’ve enjoyed […]

Bummed out

A little over a year ago, Caden tested positive for a peanut allergy. We discovered it after he ate a peanut butter sandwich about a year and a half ago and hives broke out around his mouth. So since last July, we’ve been carrying around an EpiPen, telling anyone who would listen that he’s allergic […]

I chose this

I chose to be a mom. Both boys were “planned”-no surprises. Of course, I didn’t choose to have two boys. But I have them, and I love them. Most days. Today wasn’t the best.

I work only two days a week, Mondays and Tuesdays, with the occasional half-day and/or weekend thrown in. I worked today, […]

Talking at dinner

Sarah: “Noah, I think your hair needs a little trim tonight.”

Noah: “No, I think your hair needs a little trim!”

Sarah: “Oh really?”

Noah: “Yeah. It keeps getting fatter and fatter.”

I guess it’s a little humid today.

How old is he???

I wasn’t going to write about this***, but since it happened TWICE tonight, I had to get it out.

Noah has been potty trained for 2 years now. (Now you know where I’m going with this…) He’s (usually) dry all day and all night. I don’t have to help him in the bathroom, at home […]

I can’t believe I let this happen

Tonight, I had a momentary lapse of reason.

We were at a 40th birthday party for Don, a co-worker of Andy’s. Don and his family are very much into hunting. The front room of their home has about 5 deer heads, a goose, a fox with some bird in it’s mouth, a duck, 2 […]

Where’s Dylan?

I just got done watching the new “90210” on my DVR. Is it weird that I’m totally into it, and I can’t wait until next Tuesday?

But I miss Dylan and Steve and Janet and David…not so much Donna. It’s nice to be back in the old zip code!

Frugal or cheap?

This morning, Noah woke up with a very red eye and a crusty nose. I’m fairly certain he has pink eye. Ugh. Of course it would happen on a holiday! My kids don’t get sick or hurt on regular days, just weekends, after hours, or holidays.

Anyways, I wasn’t going to do anything about it, […]

Cheap therapy

For a mere $6, I had a very nice therapy session tonight. All it takes is a house margarita, a “Triple Chocolate Meltdown” (to share), and a couple of hours with three of my best friends to help take some of my worries and frustrations and put them on the back burner.

This was a […]

Nuthin’

That’s all I got. A whole lot of nuthin’. I’m extremely uninspired today. It was a gray day today, and sort of cool, and I never really got any energy. Let’s hope tomorrow is better. I have to work, so maybe I’ll have some entertaining hospital story for you all! Okay, don’t hold your breath!
