About Me

I am a SAHM with two sons. Some days it seems like life merely revolves around input and output AKA feeding them and cleaning up poop. I love to garden, read and cook. I positively hate cleaning, but until we can afford a housekeeper, I guess I am stuck with the job!

Books:

A total paperback mystery junkie!!! Miserly Moms is a winner in my book! New favorite is "Confessions of a Slacker Mom". Janet Evanovich is a favorite, Tami Hoag, Jonathan Kellerman, James Patterson, of course Stephen King, Dean Koontz, Margaret Atwood, Laurie Notaro. Rita Mae Brown, Diane Mott Davison. I try to read something nonfiction and enriching to go along with my fictional fluff.

Heroes:

Lois from Malcolm in the Middle. I guess it sounds bizarre to have a sitcom mom be your hero, but she just rocks. She is just unconventional but effective, and a bit evil. One of my favorite moments was when she started talking about vaginal births and placentas over pizza, which totally grossed her sons out. After they ran from the room, she told her husband, see, I told you we only needed a medium. My kind of woman!!

Those bastards!

It was a good idea. In theory. In reality? Not so much. Those bastards who thought that a shopping cart with a car attached was a good idea. May you suffer from erectile dysfunction ...

The dwindling mojo

Do you ever feel like you have just straight up lost your mojo? And in more than one way? Fewer things suck more than a sexual drought. Seriously. Especially when you get the rare, r...

Small town dental doings

Once again, it is hilarious to live in a small town. Take the dentist's office for example. I had mentioned once to my mom about my favorite hygienist, Janet. Oh, that must be Janet ...

Maniacal? Yes

I am nothing if not a glutton for punishment. I realized I need to go to the big city. Hit the credit union, buy the storm door, replenish some staples around the house. Mooch's soy ...

Rant: Love it or hate it or grey area

Recently I went to Barnes and Noble with my older son. It is treacherous to go there with not much money to spend. I like to OWN books. I borrow a ton, but there are some you just wa...

Me? Predictable?

Did you ever get a sad glimpse into your life? Mine was courtesy of the cashier at the local gas station. It is close, so I go there for my newspaper, beer and hit the McDonalds for the ki...

Rain equals lazy day

I was so happy the rain that was forecasted came through. My garden is getting a nice drink. I have the teeniest strawberries ripening, and they needed some nourishment too. Don't wa...

Sweating like a pig

Oh, it is hot. I feel like the human barometer. I can handle the heat, but I can feel the humidity rising. The clouds I thought would bring the storm did not. Sigh. Mooc...

Narrowly dodged a bullet

And no, not a poop bullet. It seems those episodes may be dwindling down, at least for a bit. I hope. Mooch no longer gets to wear Kushies Tushies with velcro closure (and his night ...
