Technical Difficulties

I suppose it has to happen to everyone at some point,  and now it’s my turn.  My computer has died. 
Well, kind of. 
Let’s just say that it is acting very fickle and whether or not it works seems to depend upon which way the wind is blowing, hence my lack of posts of late.  I’m not [...]

The Devil Got My Eggs

So not only am I a complete failure in the food prep category, apparently I do no better in the food storage department.

But seriously, being at home all day with [...]

The Importance Of Being Diapered

GrumpyDaddy is a very intelligent man. Really, he is. And I realize that it’s unfair to expect him to know how to handle the two kids as well as I do, simply because I do it all day, every day.
But honestly. Letting a 19-month old run around without a diaper? [...]

Score One For Momma Bear

Today I got my courage up and took the kids to Panera for lunch (I have to pack a lunch for the kids since they won’t eat the food I buy them. I have the only kids in the world who would rather eat food from home).
We get there and find a line longer [...]
