Updates on Life

Would anyone care to explain to me why, if ear infections are not contagious, HALF of my family is currently dealing with them? Sean has been trying to ignore his away since last week. Eli has been on antibiotics for the one I didn’t know he had for a week now. And when I took [...]

Why Do the Criminals Get All of the Rights?

In case you are wondering, that is what happens when you bang your head against the keyboard.
So, when I wrote about the Lying Jerk Face (heretofore known as LJF) who backed into me yesterday, there are a few things that I left out. I did it on purpose, because I wanted to confirm [...]

Sometimes, I Hate People

Or…
Is it Wrong to Hope He’ll Rot in Hell? Because This Life Sure Isn’t Fair.
 
First, let me start by saying that yesterday was a completely lovely day. I even got a nap. And I had wanted to write a positive blog post today to balance out my last one. Obviously, that’s not happening.
Sigh.
In an effort [...]

Cookie Contemplations (Random Insight Into My Personality)

Last night, I decided to make chocolate chip cookies (the natives rejoiced). I used to bake cookies on a regular basis. Due to a combination of lack of time and acknowledgement that, as the only adult home all day, I was consuming the majority of them, I just don’t make them very often anymore. But, [...]

Wii Need Advice (And Other Bits of Life)

I had a snowball fight with God today.
Almighty–18,459 Katie–0
Seriously, when I left to go grocery shopping this morning, it was raining outside. By the time I got to my first destination (about eight minutes later!), it was–snowing? I mean, it was snow, but not the nice cheery snowflakes that drift down and make you [...]

It’s Beginning to Look A Lot Like???

Last night, after a long and exhausting final excursion to Kings Island for the year, I found myself at Target shopping for birthday presents. I spent the next hour or so wandering up and down the toy aisles wondering what the heck a six-year-old girl and eleven-year-old boy would think was cool that wouldn’t, you [...]

He is a Man, After All

At dinner, Sean was telling me about the daily drama at his office. One of his assistants was already in a bit of a tizzy after a client got worked up after she (the assistant) referred to a payment reminder as a “nasty gram.” While she was calming down from that fiasco, another client kindly [...]

Feeling Hospitable

 
Because, really, when I have been awake since 4:00 am with a crabby baby and say “No, Thank You,” after stumbling to the door while hoping that the barking dogs don’t wake anyone up from their naps other than me–what I’m really thinking is:
If I wanted new gutters, I would open the Yellow Pages–not [...]

It Might Be Time to Turn Off the Computer If…

As I drove down the highway this afternoon, on my way to run a few errands, I got stuck in a traffic jam caused by a car hitting one of the ever-present concrete construction barrier walls in the town neighboring mine. The town whose welcome signs say:
H__  H__. Come grow with us.

I would like to [...]
