Now that is one pissed off baby
The New Girl is sure that she has the meanest, nastiest, angriest baby on the planet. And because misery loves company, she has issued a call for all mean, nasty, angry babies to come out of their closets (where their mothers have undoubtedly locked them in utter frustration).
Although we occasionally grew frustrated enough to consider [...]

Git yer grubby little paws offa my stuff
I’ve only been a parent for five years, but I’ve been struck several times already by what my own parents did for me as a child. Soothing me back to sleep – not just as a baby, but as a toddler and young child too. Changing my diaper a dozen times a day for probably a [...]

Victoria’s secret is that she hates bras too
I hate bras.
I’ve always hated them. I finally succumbed to peer pressure in fifth grade and started wearing one, even though I had very little to put INTO it.
It itched. The straps got twisted. Boys snapped it. It shifted around when I played kickball. The straps fell off my shoulders.
Eventually I got used to wearing [...]

Mousie talks
But not as much as she should.
Her assessment was today. The good news? She behaved well, cooperated reasonably well (although she had zero interest in pointing to pictures of kitties or sleeping babies), and demonstrated her gross and fine motor skills admirably well.
The not-so-good-but-not-unexpected news is that she qualifies for speech therapy. She should have [...]

This is my rifle, this is my gun…
This is for fighting, this is for fun.
More pontificating on the topic of gun control over at The Soccer Mom Vote today. Not quite as many good sound bites as a screening of “Full Metal Jacket”, but hopefully a bit thought-provoking nonetheless.
What is your major malfunction, numbnuts? Get over there and read that post!

The latest entrants in the “I-can’t-believe-that’s-actually-on-a-birth-certificate” hall of infamy
Pair’us (pronounced like the overexposed heiress’s name)
Our’monie (pronounced just as it looks – OUR MONEY)
And yes, they’re real. These two are the niece and nephew of Tacy’s former preschool teacher – a lovely woman who shudders at these names as she writes them on birthday cards.

Not in my backyard
Along with the public school system and kids’ bedrooms that were larger than jail cells, my top priority while house-hunting in Colorado was the backyard.
It didn’t need to be big enough for a swingset or a sandbox, but it had to be somewhat level with a nice expanse of grass. It didn’t need to be [...]

The price may be right, but Rosie’s all wrong
I love classic game shows. Family Feud, Match Game, Hollywood Squares, The Newlywed Game…all old favorites of mine. The original versions with the original hosts, mind you. And the most classic game show of all, with its icon of a host, was The Price Is Right.
The Price Is Right just won’t be the same without Bob Barker, [...]

What’s under MY skirt?
Gosh, that’s kind of a personal question, isn’t it?
I’ve already discussed my underwear. I’ve even clarified that a particular post about underwear is not in fact about MY underwear (and wasn’t even written by me, for pete’s sake).
I’ve complained about my IUD (and there are more complaints to come soon).
Since I’m not willing to post a [...]

Just another day in paradise
Happy Father’s Day to my partner in this wonderful insanity.
