What's This About?

Simply said, this is where I get to rant and rave about my life in suburbia as a mom to an active 2-yr old boy and a wife to a geeky husband. They say you can take the girl out of the city, but you can't take the city out of the girl... Oh so true!

I’m a Believer

Okay.  So I admit it.  I’m an easy target when it comes to shopping.  You know what I’m talking about.  I’m one of those naive shoppers that marketing people love.  Gimme a good pitch line and I’ll bite.  Jeans that claim to magically make your muffin top disappear.  Bras that amazingly can transform your 34A’s [...]

This is why in the Animal Kingdom, Mothers eat their young

I’m having a bad day.  A really tiring, bad day. 
My day started at 1:30 AM when Lil T decided he was going to go on another one of his crying rampages.  Screaming at the top of his lungs, “Mamaaa, mamaa…”.  And since I didn’t go to sleep until 11:00 PM, I was not in the [...]

Horticulturist, I am not

I’ve been lazy.  Lazy with the blogging, that is.  This particular post has been sitting in my “Draft” folder for almost 2 weeks.  Seriously.  Maybe it’s blogger’s block or maybe it’s spring fever. 
Eh, who am I kidding…it’s laziness.
Anyways.  So even though I haven’t been blogging, I have been keeping myself occupied.  Now that it’s Spring.  And [...]

A little “Hanky Panky” behind my back

I have a strange child.  Adorable, but very strange.  Guess what his latest obsession is.
Are you ready for it?
Kleenex.  Yes, Kleenex as in a box of facial tissue.  My son is obsessed with Kleenex.
I think it all started when he got sick a couple of months ago.  He was constantly congested and always had a [...]

Thank you Max and Ruby

I am in pain.  It’s no fun to be in pain when you have to take care of an active pre-schooler.  There’s no such thing as rest.  There’s no such thing as down time.  But then again, even when I’m not in pain there’s no such thing as rest or down time.  So you catch my [...]

Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese…

I hate doctor visits.  It never fails that they’ll either find something wrong with you or they’ll send you to have tests done.  Blood test.  Urine test.  And as you age, there are the “preventative” tests.  Colonoscopy.  Ewwww, not that old yet.  Mammogram.  Ugh, yes getting that old.
So since I’m approaching THAT age, my doctor sent me [...]
