Sometimes She Amazes Me 2007-05-09 03:16:26 In wrapping up the end of her 3rd grade year, my 8 year old daughter was asked to pick a historical figure of her choice, and do a report on why they are important and how they made a difference. Listed as examples on the paper were several presidents, inventors, etc.
Gabrielle decided she wanted to [...] Read more:Sometimes
Oh Dear God..I Feel Sick 2007-05-08 21:12:01 Funny how the day goes from great to shit in a single phone call.
My lack of attention paired with my inability to psychic-ly predict my husband’s check card purchases has put our checking account in a state of overdraft. Deep overdraft.
Fuck. I’m going to go throw up now.

Success! 2007-05-08 15:14:41 For all that it would have been so much easier to go out and buy muffins than get up at the butt crack of dawn baking them, there is something VERY satisfying about having people in the office follow you into the teachers lounge going “Oh my gosh, did you MAKE those???

The Post That Isn’t 2007-05-08 05:00:00 I’ve had a couple of people notice I haven’t posted in a few days. I know, usually I can’t be shut up, right? I’ve been in something of a mood lately. In dealing with depression, it happens occasionally that I get a bit anti-social. I decided today that writing a bit might pull me out [...]
Seeing It in Black and White 2007-05-12 04:49:44 I meant to post this earlier, but between playgroup drama and watching 16 3rd graders so the teacher could have a lunch alone I totally forgot.
Brendan’s speech teacher met with me this morning about his IEP for next year. Pretty much what I expected- vocabulary will continue to increase, work on articulation, yada yada yada. [...] Read more:Seeing

You Know You Have Arrived 2007-05-11 21:31:42 When you get your very first comment troll.

I never knew you were competing… that you were ever remotely in contention for the title. Puh-leese.

A Perfect Parent, Reformed 2007-05-10 18:14:24 I wrote this on one of my mommyboards in response to a thread about what kind of cereal our kids eat, which drew the typical responses of how they only ate whole-grain, sugar-free sticks and twigs with milk. I realize lately we have been encouraged to post about what a *good* mom we are, and [...] Read more:Perfect

A Boob! In Public!! Oh, the Humanity!!! 2007-05-09 18:11:24 Maggie Gyllenhaal nursed her baby in public. And someone took a picture.
Why is this news again?
Oh, that’s right. There are still people out there who believe that breasts in Playboy are “art”, but those used by a mother on a park bench to feed her child are “obscene”. And I thought Alabama was a [...] Read more:Public
Mother’s Day in Oblivion 2007-05-13 13:50:35 It’s so bad I’m laughing about it, seriously.
No breakfast in bed..No sleeping in…Sure as heck no simple but tasteful jewelry.

A Quick Update on the Comment 2007-05-12 17:36:58 To my surprise I had an email this morning from the person who left the comment yesterday. She is someone I know from a private board, and she wanted to let me know it was her, and to apologize.

More Thoughts on Perfect Parenting. 2007-05-16 15:59:43 In support of Wendy at Things In Your Head with one of the best posts EVAH this week, I will admit it too- I really dislike playing with my kids outside.

Catching Up on Some Me(me) Time. 2007-05-16 04:59:38 Confession- I truly suck at keeping up with memes. I see a new inbound link and my heart gets all pitter-pattery that someone was kind enough to think of me, and then next thing I know the kids are whining, the husband needs something, and *poof*, it flies right out of my head. It bugs [...]
Spoke Too Soon. 2007-05-15 17:20:01 Doesn’t it figure, I ended up sick as a dog with the bug everyone else had over the weekend. I started feeling kind of yucky around lunchtime yesterday, and by 4pm I had to call Ian home from work. I slept from 5pm to 8pm, got up to watch Heroes, and then straight back to [...]
Semi-Big Development! 2007-05-20 06:00:46 As per the post the other day, Ian and I are having issues. We like to be a normal couple, so we chose the number one issue in America couples fight over- money. I didn’t realize until then but he was still pissy over the checking account fiasco recently. Which made me pissy, because like [...] Read more:Development
I Feel the Need to Apologize 2007-05-19 14:10:29 To the poor sap who clicked on my blog while doing a search for “big right up views of boobs”. Clearly you will not be finding those here.
My barely-B-cups wish you the best, and apologize for being so camera shy. They don’t do closeups.

Another One of THOSE. 2007-05-19 04:29:25 Dear Hubby,
Sometimes I like you. Enough to marry you and bear your children even. Generally life is pretty darn peachy.
Right now is not one of those times. Right now I am sorely tempted to put my size 9 shoe upside your head, assuming you ever manage to extract it from your ass.
Love,
Sara

One of Those Real (Bad) Mom Days. 2007-05-23 01:01:53 I did not have a good day today. In fact I had a very very bad mommy day. The kind of day where I yelled way too much and then felt bad for it afterwards. The kind of day where I really question myself and why on earth I ever had kids. Not because I [...]
Do You Skype? 2007-05-21 17:45:47 I got my bluetooth thingie in the mail today and want to play around with Skype

Since It’s a Slow Weekend… 2007-05-26 22:54:50 Nosey question about your sex life.
How many orgasms do you usually get in an average tryst with the hubby? Is it a given that you will get at least one? Are you a multiple kinda girl? Can you get it just by intercourse itself, or is a little more attention needed? I’m wondering what [...] Read more:Weekend

Has 9 Years Together Taught This Man Nothing?? 2007-05-25 21:43:35 We had a dinner to go to tonight, hubby’s nephew graduated high school and the celebration was held at a local restaurant that specializes in good southern cuisine. Getting to go out on someone else’s tab is always great, but it’s made ten times better by going to a place that has cole slaw, fried [...] Read more:Years

Just When You Got Used to the Furniture Arrangement 2007-05-24 14:56:27 I am going to have to re-arrange my blog a little. AGAIN.

Nope.

I’m Not Bi-Polar, I Just Have Children, Thanks. 2007-05-24 07:05:15 I was afraid to jinx it by blogging about it, but we had a MUCH better day yesterday. Nothing broken, no one beating the snot out of each other, no yelling. Ok, a tiny bit of yelling, but not even enough to count. Just a great, great day.

No Internet For You, Two Days! 2007-05-29 16:44:10 (said in my best soup nazi voice)
If someone wants to seriously torture me, taking away my internet is the way to do it. Our cable went down yesterday morning, and when we went to bed last night it still wasn’t back up. We were supposed to have AT&T come out and set up DSL today, [...] Read more:Internet

I Don’t Say These Things to Hear Myself Talk! 2007-06-01 16:16:32 Unless I am saying them to myself.
I am constantly telling the kids to put shoes on when they go outside, as the boys have each had a couple of bee stings to the feet this summer.
So guess which dumbass went to get the mail, shoeless, and stepped on a bee?
Hint, it wasn’t the hubby.
