A Tangled Yarn of Thoughts Being Unravelled…
I'll admit it here and possibly have it engraved on a metal plate and hang it somewhere prominently...NO ONE CAN SHOCK ME AS MUCH AS MY CHILD! While I was dropping him to school this morning he suddenly got very excited and shouted out, " LOOK! FUCKS!" I nearly had a WTF moment myself and... Continue Reading →
Last night Red and I were watching Outback Wrangler on t.v last night and thinking how tough they had it out there; herding their cattle, their wild horses and what not. Fast forward to this morning. MLM discovered the swimming pool in our complex that had been unused during the winter months was being used... Continue Reading →
Since my posts end up being about the (crab) apple of my eye I thought why not ask around and see if I'm the only nutcase attempting to raise a child or if there are others out there who see themselves as being demonized by their children in the sanity-ebbing job known as parenting. Here... Continue Reading →
Let me assure you that having to eat your own words is not a culinary experience to aspire to. Nope! Classic cases of eating one's words that I'm pretty sure quite a few adults go through- When I grow up I won't talk to my kids the way my parents talk to me- Reality? We... Continue Reading →
I read this blog post from a blogger I follow. He's funny, his writing is very real and given that he has many more years of experience in the ephemeral field of parenting than I do; his posts make me feel more confident that all is not lost and my head may not explode...today at...

The toughest thing I find at times is to explain to MLM what something actually is. Since he lacks the experience and often the vocabulary, it's a bit challenging to think of ways to get him to understand it in a manner that satisfies him or makes sense to him. Some children accept a lot... Continue Reading →
Red and I have always tried to use positive words rather than negative words when communicating things to MLM. Kids are like sponges and like mirrors...they'll absorb everything and reflect them back on you...add boomerang to that list since they keep coming back no matter where you throw them. You *don't* throw your kids? Pity....try... Continue Reading →
Apparently one can't just merrily honk away when ridding themselves of their vile phlegm. Because you might end up with what I have- Acute Otitis Media. And it's not a fun thing media or no media...for one, it's acute and it hurts like a itch-bay and the feeling of a heaviness in your ear coupled... Continue Reading →
It becomes inevitable that we make resolutions...even if it's a resolution that no further resolutions will be made 🙂 And the gospel truth comes back to me: we always keep the promises we *want* to keep. Those that get swept under the rug or get the short shrift aren't necessarily the ones we may not have... Continue Reading →
Being a parent (as I say a few hundred times in a week) is like nuthin' else! You don't know when you'll be sucker punched or melt in a puddle of treacly sweet mushiness; all by the actions of the person you call... The Offspring! Last night friends of ours decided to head out for... Continue Reading →
