So obviously this was a slow weekend be that that I’m blogging about beverage coolers and now my newly cleaned out hallway closet. I come from a family of pack rats, mostly from Dad’s side of the family. I’ve inherited this characteristic, but with tough love and determination, I’ve learned to control this habit that lives [...]
obsessive compulsive. . .
I don’t think of it as obsessive compulsive disorder, but more of an obsessive compulsive. . .ahhh, everything’s in order. The best quote I’ve heard in a long time comes from Bobby Flay (my secret crush because you have to love a man that cooks), “sometimes simplicity is just crazy delicious.” Granted he was talking [...]
attention Red Robin. . .
All Emma wants is for people to sing “Happy Birthday to You” all day and every day. She doesn’t ask for much, so I think next year will be a pretty cheap gift if we remember this. Emma was so funny because she just stood there as 7 or [...]
it’s my birthday. . .
Since Dustin had school on Tuesday (Emma’s actual birthday), we took her out for a family birthday dinner last night. She of course wanted Red Robin because when Daddy went there, he got ice cream because it was his birthday. To a 4-year-old, the food could be horrible, but if there’s ice cream, it’s a [...]
Emma’s Birthday Day O’ Fun. . .
Breakfast in bed for the birthday girl, if you want to call a cereal bar and strawberry milk breakfast in Mama’s bed. . .
Emi and Emma on their way to gymnastics. I’ve seen another have a similar form of “creative” fashion. . .was it this child’s mother???
I hate the lighting in this building, it makes [...]
what a big girl she is. . .
All he could think about was I’m too young for this.
Got my whole life ahead.
Hell I’m just a kid myself.
How’m I gonna raise one.
All he could see were his dreams goin’ up in smoke.
So much for ditchin’ this town and hangin’ out on the coast.
Oh well, those plans are long gone.
I would never think that [...]
Emma & Ellie’s Cafe. . .
Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought the girls’ kitchen would have granite countertops before my own kitchen. With Ellie getting more brave each day and testing out the laws of gravity, I knew it wouldn’t be too far in the future before I’d see Ellie standing on top of their old kitchen [...]
bathroom demo continued. . .
Here’s the latest pictures of the bathroom remodel. Again, I’m so impressed; I can’t believe we’re doing this; and, this looks so good. The bathroom is really coming together and in a timely fashion. Hopefully by this weekend, we will have two toilets again. It’s like we’re back at the apartments but before Emma was [...]
CAUTION: SHE BITES. . .
Yeah, she may look cute. But underneath all the cuddles and kisses and mostly slobbery licks that are Ellie’s interpretation of a kiss lies a piranha. Okay, maybe it was my own stupidity that had me think it was okay for me to stick my finger in 15-month-old’s mouth to check to see if her [...]
I know I’m a bad mama. . .
Okay, so I know this is a small cry for a puppy. Emma has now dressed “Petey” in pajamas, including puppy panties which is pretty funny because that’s what we call Emma’s night time panties because they have puppies on them and now she is putting Petey in puppy panties. . .okay maybe it’s just [...]
