Overheards: Milk

Scene:  Breakfast table.  TD is headed upstairs to dress for school. The Comedian is still eating the last remnants of her cereal.  I’m packing up her lunch, picking up items off the floor, and putting dishes in the sink.  The Comedian:  “Wash, wash, wash.” Me:  “What are you washing?” The Comedian:  “Um. Myself.” Me:  “Good. [...]

Where’s Mummy?

Where's Mummy?

Not home, that is for sure. I am sure if you swing into the Yorktown area of Virginia later today you will find me in a pool with my kids enjoying this first week of summer. Earlier this week I was up in Dearborn, Michigan again with Ford. I know! I was beyond excited too! [...]

In Which I Experiment with my Body

I’ve been doing a bit of experimentation with my body the last few weeks. When I put it that way it sounds like I’ve gone all Tony Stark and put in some sort of contraption into my chest but no, it’s with food. Before I met H, I was ahem, younger, and could eat anything [...]

In-N-Out

In-N-Out

Because sometimes you just have to go back and try things again. Talk about a SoCal tradition. Also, I took this with my new phone.  Squee! That sweet baby rocks. 

Mummy’s Randomness

I have this other blog. Sshh..don’t tell a soul.  It’s all about the deep pits of me.  I put all my hates, desires and creepy thoughts on there that are so twisted and dark you might get retinal bleeding if your read it.  Cue the “I’m so deep, dark and torturted” music from 1994. Right.  [...]

On Rush Limbaugh and FLOTUS

My undies are in a bunch this week on a few things and all of them round back to our dear FLOTUS, Michelle Obama. First up- her cause to eat right and get moving. The woman is trying to combat the epidemic of unhealthy eating and living that we as a country seem to think [...]

The Sugar Highs and Lows

The subject of screaming and tantrums has come up before within this blog, especially where TD is concerned.  At first we chalked it up to the Terrible Two’s followed by the Troublesome Three’s, which everyone declared was way worse than anything we had ever witnessed before.  Right.  It seems that the ”F*ck You! Fours” (described quite adequately [...]

No Lemons Today

After peeing in a jug for the last 24 hours, dealing with a fevered Comedian all day yesteday and missing ladies night due to some weird cramping and lower back pain (but nothing takes the mind off twisted abs like episodes of Mad Men!) and in general spending the week feeling useless I decided to [...]

The Sweaty Cowboy

The Sweaty Cowboy

Last week I saw down to a Mother’s Day Tea at TD’s school.  We had lemonade with heart-shaped ice cubes and pink paper bags full of popcorn that the children had made for us.  It was delightful.  After our snack we followed them to ‘Music & Movement’.  Each week she participates in what can only [...]

The Non-Drinkers Club

Last month I proposed a thirty day challenge of sorts.  No sugar and no alcohol for the entire month of January.  H was first on the bandwagon and then a few fine bloggers decided to join me on this crazy train. I wanted to see if eliminating sugar and drinking from my diet would improve [...]
