The Crazy Lady With A Thousand Kids
“The crazy lady with a thousand kids.” In my head this is who my neighbors must think I am. They aren’t wrong. It’s definitely an appropriate title. Four kids, two bad dogs, one fish (yes, we killed almost all of the fish from my post), and a crazy husband and wife duo makes for anContinue reading “The Crazy Lady With A Thousand Kids”
Recipe Time: Red Beans And Rice (Step By Step with Pictures)
A while back I promised to share this recipe but haven’t made it lately. (See my blog post Cooking Crazy.) When I made the menu for this week I decided that now was the time. For starters, red beans and rice is my favorite meal ever. On top of that The Hubs just bought meContinue reading “Recipe Time: Red Beans And Rice (Step By Step with Pictures)”
5 Things I Learned In The NICU
Monday was NICU Awareness Day. Its a day I never would have known about if my life hadn’t played out the way it has. NICU is a cute sounding name for a place no parent wants their babies to go. Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. I don’t know about you but before having my kids “intensiveContinue reading “5 Things I Learned In The NICU”
The Day My World Stood Still
I remember the day in fragments of memory that sparkle and cut like broken glass. I awoke to my mother’s voice on the phone, “Can you come over to the house?” That immediate sinking feeling flooded my gut. Why was she at home? It was the middle of the week. I jokingly asked if she’dContinue reading “The Day My World Stood Still”
Learning from My Son
Sunday was “date” day in our house. I don’t mean romantic date though. I mean special time with the big kids. We split up and each take a kid to do something together. Sometimes we have to bring The Twins along but whatever we do, we make sure the focus is on whichever kiddo isContinue reading “Learning from My Son”
Fishy Failure
About a month ago the topic of getting the kids a small pet cane up. I, of course, put my foot down when The Hubs and The Boy started talking about getting a turtle. They smell and require a level of initial investment and upkeep that I just don’t think the kids are at. AfterContinue reading “Fishy Failure”
Making Progress
This week is going by in a flash and stretching out over an eternity in nauseating back and forth fashion. I’ve woken up every day this week thinking that it was Thursday. At least today I got it right. Im still stressed but I’m making progress. A couple of months ago my husband mentioned thatContinue reading “Making Progress”
Facebook Memories
I have a love hate relationship with the Memories feature on Facebook. It’s really great for helping with things like remembering good times. I love seeing old pictures of myself and my friends and family. Some videos and memes still make me laugh year after year. Then there’s the dumb stuff that makes you think,Continue reading “Facebook Memories”
Big Scary Biker = Progressive Daddy?
As I’ve said many times before, The Hubs is a big hairy scary biker man. He’s a combat veteran who rides a loud Harley. He knows how to blow things up. As my Bonus Dad likes to say, he’s one of those guys who always looks a little dirty. He works with his hands andContinue reading “Big Scary Biker = Progressive Daddy?”
