This crazy life.

Sometimes that is about all you can say about it.  It’s just nuts.
It is just amazing how things happen sometimes and you just have to say “what the hell??”
This weekend was like that.
Saturday night, we had a bunch of guys from church over for poker night.
I know..
Church + Poker= the debil right?
No.
Anyway.
It was fun.  We [...]

Funny thing about getting older…

It happens when you aren’t looking.
I mean, I know that I’m 32…but I think I’m still that lively 21 year old I was a few (cough) years ago.
And things are starting to happen that make me think and feel like I’m 32…or 93.
Like last week.  My mother-in-law asked me if I wanted to go shopping [...]

Spring? Really?

I have my doubts.
I think spring has decided that it will not be gracing us with it’s presence this year.
We are on our own.
Free to freeze until summer gets here.
Hey, someone get spring on the phone and tell it to get it’s butt over here!
I woke up to snow this morning.
Not a lot, but enough [...]

I didn’t sign up for this…

No. Really.
I do not want to head up the block watch.
I don’t want that responsibility.
But I guess it is mine.
Yesterday there was an incident with some boys who live down the street.
They are a nasty lot.
The little asses.
Obviously never parented.
Just basically a bunch of jerks.
So I call to report it and while I’m reporting it, [...]

I just have to get this off of my chest.

 I am sure you all remember me talking about my idiot neighbor and how much I hate him.
Well, I had been discreet up until this point.  But I can’t be anymore.
He doesn’t deserve to remain anonymous.
He is a sick, twisted, waste of oxygen.
And I refuse to be silent anymore.
I do not care that some people [...]

Hey Joe! Why are you so sloppy?

I love sloppy joes.
Used to eat them all the time growing up.
So one day I was looking for something new to cook for the fam.
And I saw this recipe on the back of a can of tomato soup…campbell’s of course.
(because any other is just icky. )
It said it was tex-mex.
I’m all about the tex-mex.
So we [...]

Another Ricky-ism.

Ricky:  “mom, I’m hungry.”
Me: “Rick, you are ALWAYS hungry.”
Ricky: But mom, I really am hungry this time.”
Me: “Oh for pete’s sake…fine I’ll make you a peanut butter sandwich.”
Ricky: “oh good mom. I am having so much pressure!”
Me: (laughing) “Rick..you are full of beans.”
Ricky: “Well, when I eat beans, I get a lot of pressure.”
Oh.
my.
word.
that.
boy.
cracks.
me.
up!

It’s time…already.

I know, there is supposed to be a recipe here.
I didn’t forget.
Something else has taken over my thoughts.
I.
registered.
my.
baby.
for.
kindergarten.
today.
*sniff*
He is so excited.
I am more than a little sad.
He’s even excited about getting the shots he needs to have cause I’m a horrible mother and totally forgot that he needed them.
He’s ready to go buy a backpack.
I’m [...]

Bad Blogger

I have not been a very good blogger lately.
I realized today that I have been leaving things off of here.  And I don’t know why.
Weird huh?
Anyway…some things I have wanted to share:
Dance Dance Revolution….it’s addictive.
Really.
see…
(and please, pay no mind to the insanely messy room.)

We always have the best time playing this.  I think every home [...]

It’s bedtime somewhere

And that is all the invitation he needed.
Last night I was going through Ricky’s drawers, looking for clothes he has outgrown.
I was delighted to find the fuzzy, warm, footed, race car jammies that Grandma and Grandpa got him for Christmas….I thought they had been misplaced.
So I decided to see if they would fit him..they [...]
