A look at life through the eyes of a mostly stressed-out, insomniac Mom of two kids. I am desperately seeking a creative outlet and an audience who feels my pain.

Not So Yummy in the Tummy
When my daughter was two years old, I was making the bed one day when she came out of our bathroom chugging a glass of water.I said, "Boy, you sure are thirsty!" Then I realized that I hadn't heard any water running. I walked over to find a liquid tr...
Things I Said Yesterday
To my son:"Maybe if you would have gone to the bathroom when I told you to, I wouldn't be standing in the shower holding your piece of cheese and trying to wash my hair one-handed!""Is that stain on your jacket from when you threw up phlegm at recess...
My Dogs II
My last post was an introduction to my dogs. This is about their playthings.This is Blue's toy. These are Daisy's inside toys. There are more in the back yard. Clifford, I'm sorry about your eye, dude. The toys below belong to my children.Daisy sneak...
My Dogs
This is Blue. She is 11 years old and weighs 65 pounds. She likes to bark at the mailman. This is Daisy. She is six months old and weighs 55 pounds. She likes to sneak up and pounce on people, and on 11 year old dogs. Blue hates Daisy. And, because I...
Random Realizations III
1. If your son decides to eat some fruit, make sure he doesn't leave 1/4 of a watermelon sitting out where your puppy can eat it...rind and all.2. When you are driving a car to Chicago that is on loan from a very nice company (Hi Chevy!) you may wa...
Random Realizations II
1. The public library is pretty much the biggest scam on the planet. Free books, free music, free movies for everyone! Take five books if you want...we trust you.2. If my son can do something he knows is wrong, he will.3. I love watching my kids play...
Got Muscles?
The other day our puppy, Daisy, wouldn't stop throwing up. After a trip to the vet, a half-dozen x-rays and a barium study, her doctor sent us home with some special canned food and a bottle of Pepcid.That afternoon, my son was sitting on my lap when...
Analyzing Animal Anatomy
It is every parent's hope and dream that their children will turn out better than they did. We wish for better opportunities, less stress and more intelligence for our offspring. When I play with our new puppy, Daisy, I get down on the floor and tal...
Taking Chances
Roughly 14 years ago I went paraplaning with some co-workers, one of whom would become my future husband.If you have never seen a paraplane, it is a glorified go-cart with an enormous fan on the back. As you drive the go-cart across a field, the fan ...
Puppy Love
After one sleepless night, one ruined laptop cord, wood floors which have sustained three pees, two poops and one vomit, and after our 11 year old dog, Blue, has done a lot of growling and huffing about because Daisy thinks her ears are a chew toy......
Glutton for Punishment
I currently have a part-time job, three writing gigs, a workaholic husband, two kids (who both play sports) and a son in speech therapy one afternoon a week. So, it only seems logical that we went out today and got this.Daisy, this is everyone. Every...
Not So Picture Perfect
There are some amazing photography bloggers out there. I am not one of them. As much as I would love to have classic and beautiful pictures of my family, most of them are blurry, or too dark or every subject has a nasty case of red-eye.I do not own a...
Wolf-Boy
Ten years ago, when I was pregnant with our first child, my husband and I hired a private dog trainer. Our puppy, Blue, was six months old and our veterinarian recommended someone who would work with her one on one. We were too dumb to realize what ...
My Vacuum Is Demanding Overtime Pay
This is what brushing our dog looks like every spring. Once a week, we have a trail of fur stretching nearly the length of our coffee table.Anyone interested in purchasing some dog hair? Or, better yet...wanna buy a dog? ...
I Won't Be Flicking My Bic For An Encore
My husband cringes when I tell gross stories about our dog. But, I feel it is my duty as a dog owner. These beasts don't stay adorable puppies forever, and people who are thinking about getting one should know the truth. It's the equivalent of having...
