For Me Wednesday
edition is sort of counter intuitive seeing as how it’s theme is, “What Doesn’t Work For Me.” And since I had a tough time narrowing down my list I thought it better to just post the whole thing. Have a Lookie Lu. I’m sure you’ll find a thing
This Child 2008-05-07 21:11:29 On the day she was born they told me this child had Down syndrome.
They said it in a way that left me broken. Desperate. And alone.
They said that if we were lucky she would learn to dress herself someday.
They said that she’d be mentally retarded.
They said she wouldn’t breastfeed successfully.
Flowers and Chocolates and Diamonds, Oh My! 2008-05-09 05:08:41 It’s finish that sentence Friday time. And I say, hey, why not kick the weekend off right with a Mothers Day inspired prompt? I’ll be putting up a few different posts on precisely that topic over the next couple of days. And I’ll be sharing some moola saving Disney World tips for the Destination Read more:Flowers

Mothers Day Weekend: Eat, Drink, & Get Out of Diaper Duty 2008-05-10 18:38:06 Is it just me or does Mothers
Day account for a whole weekend worth of celebration whereas Fathers Day can pretty much be summed up with brunch after church? I have yet to change a diaper this weekend and Jeff both made and cleaned up after our blueberry pancakes this morning. If I can expect more of Read more:Weekend

The Day Post-Its Went Priceless 2008-05-10 11:10:45 Seeing as how it’s Mothers Day weekend and all I thought I’d put a motherly twist on a couple of posts this weekend. And what better place to begin than showing off the recent post-it note awards I was given after a particularly trying discussion with my 13-year-old. The whole thing left me feeling Read more:Priceless
Doing My Part to Fuel the Germaphobe Fire 2008-05-12 20:04:09 I saw this slide show on my MSN homepage today. It sort of caught my attention because I’m just a tad bit spastic when it comes to germs and bacteria and all that fun stuff. I haven’t always been this bad. You’d think that when my kids came along I might have let a

A Sad Goodbye 2008-05-14 17:35:54 Tomorrow is a sad day for us. A day that I’ve known for a long time would eventually come but one that I’ve dreaded nonetheless.
Our best friends are moving away.
They are more like family than friends really. They’re certainly the closest thing we’ve got here in Southern Arizona.
Kelly and I became friends nearly four Read more:Goodbye
Tagged! 2008-05-14 10:19:10 I’ve been tagged. Again. This time Soliloquy from She Just Had To Say It came up with an altogether new meme to pass around the blogdom.

Smog? Sunshine? Nightlife? 2008-05-16 04:54:00 I’ve got a quick and easy Finish This Sentence Friday for you. Here goes:
When it comes to ____________, the place I live has the market cornered.
For me, this one is too easy. I’ve always said that the sunsets here are the most gorgeous I’ve ever seen. Especially during monsoon season. After the downpour we’re frequently
Bits and Pieces 2008-05-18 21:29:13 I thought it might be fun to post pictures of the bits and pieces of my house. Well, not my house really, but some of the things in my house that I love. Since we’re just getting to know each other and all. I mean, seriously, the inside of a person’s house says a lot about
And You Thought You Had Nothing Left to Learn 2008-05-20 03:56:27 In the spirit of brotherly love I thought I’d start an entire category for Things I’ve Learned. You know, to pass along the wealth of knowledge that I’ve acquired thus far in my adventurous life. Maybe adventurous isn’t the right word. Perhaps eventful would be more accurate.
Well then. Here are the first of the Read more:Nothing
Let’s Talk TV 2008-05-19 17:56:33 Everyone dishes about Lost and Grey’s Anatomy and House and Bones and Dancing with The Stars. But I can’t dish about those shows because believe it or not I’ve never seen them. So lets dish in a TV language I can understand. Grab your remote and popcorn and pop a squat for a minute or
Oh How I’ve Missed You Sweet Summertime 2008-05-21 23:16:42 This, my friends, is a glorious day. A day I’ve been looking forward to for quite some time now. A day that will change life as I know it, temporarily at least. For you see, it’s the final day of school around these parts. And do you know what that means for me?

Who’s Fit? Wii Are About To Be! 2008-05-21 12:52:13 Mr. Fed Ex man came through for me today, big time. BIG TIME.
I pre-ordered this little diddy a couple of weeks ago and I have been dying for it to be officially released so that I could give it a whirl. And lo and behold, here it is. I can’t wait to slip Read more:Wii
Whatdya Mean, Baby Got Back?! 2008-05-23 05:10:33 Buckle up kids…it’s time for another Finish This Sentence Friday. This one came to mind yesterday as I was running errands in town and I saw SUV after SUV with graduate well wishes written across the windows. Okay, so here’s your food for thought:

Three Things Before My Weary Head Hits The Pillow 2008-05-27 21:31:01 It’s late. I’m tired. But… I couldn’t go to bed without putting a shiny new post up on my blog for all you east coasters who come visit me long before the sun has even thought about rising here in southern AZ.
I’ve mustered up three things that aren’t necessarily worthy of their own Read more:Three
Make Way TomKat, Move Over Brangelina 2008-05-26 21:36:20 You remember how I wrote here about Cassidy being my own little starlet? Well, the proof is in the pudding right? I thought I’d share some pictures of her last day of school.
This child was an autograph signin’ fool that day! Everywhere she turned there was a yearbook or a water bottle or a Read more:Brangelina
As Grandpa Would Say…Here’s a Tip For Ya: Don’t Take Any Wooden Nickels 2008-05-28 21:32:43 I had IT (individual time) with Kennedy tonight. It’s something I try to do monthly with each of the kids, but it doesn’t always happen. Tonight we chose to do a date night theme and opted for dinner and a movie. The dinner was at Texas Roadhouse which, save for the homemade yeast rolls with honey Read more:Grandpa

A Little Freezer Burn Never Hurt Anyone 2008-05-30 21:34:49 Perhaps you’re one of those super organized women who cooks a month’s worth of dinners and stows them away in the freezer so as to save time later. If so, I totally hate you. But I applaud you nonetheless.
As for me, I’m a bit challenged when it comes to that sort of thing. Read more:Freezer

This Will Only Make Sense If You Watch The Bachelorette 2008-06-02 21:59:45 1. So far, DeAnna and I are sharing a brain. She totally knows how to pick ‘em. Or not pick ‘em as the case may be.
2. With one exception.
3. Jeremy.
4. He has so got to go.
5. Is it just me or are DeAnna’s eyebrows heinously mismatched?
6. That coming from someone who hasn’t had her eyebrows Read more:Sense

Did That Trucker Just Moon Us? 2008-06-01 21:23:11 Jeff, Jayce and I spent 16 of the last 48 hours in the car. The relatively new Honda Odyssey has made jaunts like that one far more pleasant than they once were, but even so, I could think of about a million things I’d rather do. Seeing as how I was cooped up in
Why I’ve Never Bought Another Box of Golden Grahams 2008-06-03 21:51:52 Kellie tagged me for a meme. It’s not your typical meme either.
What’s been one of the scariest (in a terrifying or humorous sense) thing you’ve ever experienced?
I had to think awhile on this one. I’ve been blessed to have not ever been involved in anything overtly terrifying. Kellie wrote about her experience Read more:Golden
Maybe Not So Much 2008-06-03 09:13:13 I’ve been know to say, “he’s all boy” when referring to Jayce. I’m not sure that’s entirely accurate though. Especially seeing as how he likes to “borrow” sissy’s necklace when she’s not looking. Maybe

We Don’t Know What To Do With Ourselves 2008-06-05 06:04:00 Okay friends, I need some input. Here’s the scoop:
The girls are away at what I like to call Dad camp. They’ll be gone for a few weeks and Jeff and I would like to take full advantage of the fact that our child load has decreased by a full 75%. What should we do?
Mikey Likes It 2008-06-08 21:17:44 Last week, I told Nicole that over the weekend I would post a few recipes for meals that the whole family would gladly eat. Well, the weekend got away from me and here I am finally composing this post. Here’s the thing though: what follows aren’t exactly recipes, they’re more like methods. The only time I ever follow Read more:Mikey
