A Mother’s Pride

March 18, 2010

Enjoy Calvin’s first sentence (see the period at the end to make it official): It says: No mom and dad. He made about 20 of these and taped them all over his room. Behold the fury of an angry (literate) six year old! This writing mama is proud!

Still Hungry

March 17, 2010

I’m working on a iPhone App for Family Friendly Milwaukee (see others here)! Universe, you rock! Blogging has evolved into something I wasn’t expecting. Well, that’s not saying [...]

Homeless

March 15, 2010

Well, yesterday was my dad’s birthday. He would have been 61. Honestly, I kind of forgot about it until today. While in Milwaukee’s Historic Third Ward, we came upon some cheese orphans at the Public Market. A cheese tragedy, really. Sad ending, for sure! I guess I kind of feel like a cheese orphan these [...]

Dookie

March 11, 2010

What is it about dog poop that makes it seem so much more untouchable than cat poop? The idea that it should be dealt with, put into bags, carried around for the rest of your walk? We had a dog and it pooped. A lot! Like worse than a grown man. 4 cups of dog [...]

A*s Factor

March 5, 2010

Ever wonder why underpants sizes are about four smaller than that of your jeans? Is the marketing strategy to make you feel better about the size of your bee hind or is it to fill that top dresser drawer right up? Maybe our country would have a better collective self-esteem and avoid the obesity crisis [...]

Popping Out

March 3, 2010

Last week I visited my son’s elementary school on “special” people day. While picking up a visitor badge at the main office, I noticed two giant trash cans (one full and one half full) of pop can tabs. Wait, is it soda here in Wisconsin? Oh, you know, these: It turns out the collection of [...]

Gettin’ Dressed in New Orleans!

March 1, 2010

Nothing has changed with this picture, except the lack of giant patches of skin from my inner thighs and the inability to use my “squatting” muscles (You know, the muscles used stop you from free falling right onto airport toilets. Never do this. Ever.) Rest assured cheese heads, I brought some warm weather back with [...]
