Throat Chopping Crackheads Who Give Children Candy

What STRANGER gives a TWO-year old CANDY at the post office!? ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? I had to run to the post office last minute yesterday to over-night a package for The Hubby. Because it was dreadfully hot, I put Gwyn in a nighty dress to stay cool while in the house, so as we were rushing […]

The Past Seven Years in a Nutshell

I remember the very first time The Hubby and I met. Vaguely. I was out with my friend at the old Cue and Cushion, an extremely old run-down bar that served ten cent drafts on a random night every week. Because of the cheap keg beer it was a hot spot among the college students […]

A Babe Feeding Her Babe…

At times, while I am feeding Cal, Gwyn will sit next to me and feed her baby a bottle. Yesterday, though, I look over during feeding time and see this… A babe feeding her babe…just like Mama.

On Being Called A Boy

As shown in yesterday’s post, I once had an absolutely awful haircut in the second grade. Though, I was pretty excited to be getting such a “grown-up” do…. The beautiful, springing curls bouncing above my shoulders that I had envisioned turned out to be short, stiff turds with a buzz up the back. I think my face […]

Picture Day…K-12

In keeping up with the theme of the week… Once I realized just how awkward I was as a child, I decided to discover just when the “awkwardness” all began. I found an album of all my old school pictures at my mom’s house, so it was easy to tell. Kindergarten. Typical uneven bangs, side […]

The Tall Girl. The Awkwardly Tall Girl.

When I was at my parents’ house for the entire month of June last month, I found myself looking through old photo albums and was reminded of just how awkwardly tall I was as a child. Below, I am sandwiched in-between my two best friends at my sixth or seventh birthday party.   So tall, […]
