Halloween.

November 2, 2011

It was the best year yet.   Bram was Ben Ten.  I’m not so sure who Ben Ten is.  Apparently, he turns into aliens with the click of some powerful watch, but dresses in snazzy blue pants and a green jacket with converse when not battling evil.  He was in NO WAY going to wear a [...]

The bloody nightmare

November 1, 2011

Bram drew us this little gem in school on Friday. It is titled, “The Bloody Nightmare.”  See below: Of course his spelling is a little off, as phonics are what the teachers prefer them to use during “creative writing.” When he first showed me the the drawing and told me the title of his masterpiece, [...]

Maybe I’m not the only morbid one up in here.

Tessie Mayes loves her some baby dolls.  She takes her mothering skills very seriously and will spend hours caring for her 543 dolls.  Reading, patting, rocking, soothing.  It is just precious and heartwarming to watch: So, Sunday was a beautiful day in Texas Hill Country.  I sat outside and read in between loads of laundry [...]

October 12, 2011

This is NOT good timing you stupid ass terrorists assholes. Not that any time is good timing, but really?  This is bad.  You mother fuckers are nothing but a bunch of fun ruiners. Moral of the story: Coco will be on the vodka, no matter that I am traveling with my 4 year old.  I’m [...]

I’m super cool. But y’all already knew that.

When Sara and I were in New York, we popped into a J Crew where I fell in LOVE with these: I had to have them.  I was told they came in only whole sizes.  I tried on a 9.  Too small.  I tried on a 10.  Too big.  I was sad. The brand was [...]

Taking anxiety to a new level. Flying with a kid.

October 4, 2011

I don’t fly well.  At all. I call myself a, “shit, fuck flyer.”  It’s are real thing.  Promise. If the plane makes even the tiniest jiggle, I yell, “SHIT!”  or, “FUCK!” For real, y’all. It’s bad and I don’t like it.  An airplane in the air just doesn’t make any sense.  And yet I fly.  [...]

Big foot.

October 3, 2011

Yesterday was my tiny infant’s 4th birthday. She isn’t a baby anymore.  Boo. When she was born, the first thing out of the nurses mouth wasn’t, “She’s beautiful!”  or “Your baby girl is here!” It was, “OH MY GOD!  I HAVE NEVER SEEN FEET THIS BIG ON BABY IN MY LIFE!” My sweet little baby [...]

Well, looky there!  After weeks and weeks of being attacked by our darling cockatiel, Zeke, we have finally made the progress that we hoping for. Zeke sat perched on Bram’s shoulder for most of the day Sunday.  Tessie Mayes was dying to hold him.  But this would not be a good idea. It would be [...]
