Did You Really Say What I Think You Said?

Sometimes life is absurd. Over the several years, Fab Husband and I have found ourselves saying things out loud that are seemingly absurd.  Generally, it is something one of us overhears when the other is in the next room.  By themselves, these things are truly absurd.  However, when placed within the context of raising a…

My Bad Day Monday

Monday was kind of a bad day. Although after sitting here for a while with a cup of hot homemade soup, poking around the headlines and getting a few reminders that there are far worse things in other people’s lives than I had to deal with. Everything in perspective. Forgive me for sounding like the proverbial…

He Cooks! – Mac & Cheese Edition

Kidzilla wanted macaroni and cheese for lunch today.  From a box.  The kind with powder for cheese. Bleah. This is quite possibly the most disturbing meal on the planet.  It has powder for cheese.  Orange powder.  White powder, if you get the fancy cheddar on shells variety, which is what Zilla wanted today.  Either way,…

The Tragedy of Three Rotten Cats

Shakespeare.  The Tragedy of Macbeth.  Act 4, Scene 1. Setting:  A cavern. In the middle, a boiling cauldron. Thunder.  Enter the three Witches. First Witch: Thrice the brinded cat hath mewed. Mew.  Mew.  Mew. There is a Rotten Cat staring at me.  The Others are here as well.  Staring.  All Three Rotten Cats are here…

Unexpected Joys

Running late for church on Sunday, Kidzilla and I were rushing to get ready. Fab Husband took her ahead to get her situated in the car seat. Suddenly, with panic in her voice, she hollered from the front door, “Dadda!  My purse!” I hollered back, “I’ve got it,” and headed out the door behind them.…

The Sweetest Day

Ever have one of those days when against all odds or expectations, the day just turns out really great? Love that. Today was one of those days. Really unremarkable for any reason except that I was surprised by sweetness several times over.

He Cooks! – Red Meat Edition

This is what we had for dinner Tuesday night: That lovely piece of steak was grilled to perfection by my Husband, the resident Grill Master.  And the perfectly grilled corn on the cob.  He even prepared the marinade for the steak on his own.  I was relegated to bean prep.  He may not be terribly adept in…

Big Girls Don’t Cry…Or Do They?

I had about nine other things I thought I wanted to talk about today, but scrapped them all.  My head is stuck in one particular place, and since it’s all I can think about, I’m going with it.  I can’t decide if I’m angry or sad or a little bit of both.  Probably that.  Some…

How a Self-Proclaimed Cat Hater Ends Up Living with Three Rotten Cats

As I write this, my Fabulous Husband is finishing up some vacuuming…to rid our home of this week’s allotment of cat hair! This is part of why he is fabulous. A) I haven’t touched a vacuum cleaner since we got married (HATE vacuuming more than cleaning toilets) and B) he is in charge of all…
