About Me

I have been accused of being a little sarcastic.
(Just a little.)
I have 5 kids, 2 cats, a giant orange Squid, a Rottweiler, a yellow Lab, and a floppy-eared rabbit that is no good for eatin'.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

A teenager who doesn't think that A) he knows everything, and B) that grownups are morons. People who agree that anime characters aren't real. Kids who actually listen when they're spoken to. Those who can speak in complete sentences without saying "uh" a million times. Men without moobs. People who don't drive like idiots.

My Blog

Stuff on my Kid

This is what happens when you combine a small, tired child and a twisted sense of humor.I've come to the conclusion that we're just not right... but, damn, do we have fun.

Nothing quite says,"Quit staring at my boobs..."

Like a giant vulva on your formal dress.Yes, finally, while you wear this dress, your date won't be preoccupied with your cleavage! And remember - You can't un-see it. You're welcome.

What have I done?

What is it about that first haircut that suddenly turns a baby into a little kid? Not that he's not adorable, but how did my one-year-old suddenly start looking like a toddler instead of a baby?Oh, ...
