I’ve got mad fever!

No, I am not talking scarlet fever or hay fever… It’s SPRING fever around here! Thankfully we’ve kicked our cold (I should say E and I kicked it, N might be coming down with it now). So things are more productive here especially since the weekend was warmer than usual, basically it was NOT jacket weather [...]

The day of red

18 months ago, thanks to my Fertility Awareness Method charting I knew I was pregnant, before I’d even missed my period. Now, over a year later I am back in the world of fertile women and am reminded of how bad it sucks to have “that time of the month” again… Oh and we have to [...]

Road trip adventures Everly enjoyed.

Whew! After a week on the road we needed a day to decompress after getting back to Evansville. Yesterday we sat around in our PJ’s, did many loads of laundry, scrubbed cat vomit from the carpets, cleaned cat boxes… You know all the chores and stuff that go undone while you are away. Everly was a [...]

What is it with shower situations in New Mexico? We are spending the night in Tucumcari, NM this time around. We got a cheap hotel to spend the night in and unfortunately it only has a shower. You see it’s a cheap hotel, tiny, clean and shower-less with a super loud heater… You get what you [...]

The last time I showered in New Mexico…

We are on the road in our newly fixed car! After flying here and hanging out with family and friends it’s now time to make the trip back home, in our car. We spent much time this morning debating weather or not it was a good idea to make the trek up north to I-40 [...]

Live Blogging: Cat Swallows Needle

Here are my tweets as they played out during the night and early hours of the morning. I didn’t realized it would reach so many people. At first I was just tweeting so my husband would know what was going on, then I kept tweeting to be sure I didn’t leave anyone in the dark. [...]

It’s true. N and I got the holiday ham that keeps on giving. It seems we have food poisoning or something… It’s been an ongoing thing for over a week now. We just tossed several pounds of ham leftovers after we figured it was the culprit, also tossed the spinach salad just for good measure. [...]

Dazed, anxiety ridden and plagued with ham disease.

Christmas 2009 as parents.

I never thought I would be such a gingerbread cookie fiend! Last week we made up a ton of cookies to get in the holiday spirit and also so N would have cookies to take in to work for everyone. We’d been trying different gingerbread cookie recipes each year, nothing was particularly impressive and I thought [...]

Someone is excited about the holiday!

She’s not even walking yet and she’s already being a stinker about opening gifts early. After her gift snagging earlier in the week we moved all the gift bags and stuff with ribbon away from her reach. We thought the paper and curly ribbon was attracting her attention. Looks like she’s smarter about this gift [...]

Someone is excited about the holiday!

I have a confession. I am fairly certain twitter is killing my creativity! I’ve been having issues with blog content since Everly’s birth. Sure I am a busy mom who is working part time in addition to caring for a new baby. Yeah, computer time is limited these days… The thing is it’s not the time that [...]

A twitter addiction? Confessions and talk of loss.

Baby leg warmers crochet fun

I’ve been working on making E a pair of baby legwarmers since October. I just finished them today which is kind of a big deal. You see I tend to start and never finish my knit and crochet projects… Today will probably be the only day she’ll wear them since it took me two months to [...]

All the trees are naked and it is very close to freezing at night now. Thanksgiving is just right around the corner and we aren’t really sure where the year has gone. Life is blowing by so fast and it just feels like we are standing here in a blur while it all swirls around us [...]

Today we are proud home owners!

Well, we’ve done it! Several years of planning and thousands of dollars later… We are now the proud owners of our own home! N was bummed that we had no “sold” sign to pose with out on the front lawn though… We may just have to stage it anyway, kind of like this: We went in [...]

Today we are proud home owners!

This will be the first weekend in probably a month or so that we’ll have to relax and get caught up on things. Marching season has come and gone, my 9th marching season is now over. Sure winterguard plans and ideas are in the works but it wont be until January when the performance madness picks [...]

Sigh… Rest and recuperation are in order.

Woho! Take it off…

… that is the kind of audio the news station hopes to get off the investigative story they sent him on last night. The destination was an underage foam party. From Sarah Palin to foam parties, what is next?

Supposedly there is all this nastiness going on under the foam at these parties. Teens get STD’s and lots of sexual action at events like this one according to the station writers that crafted this story. What is even better is they think parents are actually dropping kids off at this party and picking them up afterward.

Have you ever allowed your teen to go to a foam party? What are your thoughts on them?

In other news we spent the day grocery shopping and scored a pretty sweet deal. Just for fun while we were at Sam’s Club we perused the electronics section to show each other what we liked as possible holiday gift ideas.

I have been eyeing powerful iPod docking station radios for quite some time so while we were loking at those we spotted this beauty:

It goes for $90.00 and has some good sound output, then N noticed that it was a display item marked down to $20.00. Yes we got a perfectly good, undamaged, sweet iPod radio for a steal! I love finding a sweet discount.

    i remember news stories like that making my life very difficult as a kid. like my mom trying to figure out how to play my nkotb tapes backward to make sure they weren’t satanic.

    I am feeling old,, the first I heard of a foam party was when someone died during one on CSI. Personally I think it would be fun to be in that much foam, but not with strangers! As for my kid going, she is old enough now to choose that kind of thing, but when she was still young at home,, NO, I would not drop off/pick up from one!

    In high school I went to one of theses at Polysters Night Club (You know that big adobe color building on Scts rd). But there was nothing like that going on in the foam. Plus once you were covered in that soap if it got in your eye it burned like hell! So is N going to pretend to be a teen and sneak into one of these parties? OMG he could use the alias “Sunny Dayz”! Haha oh high school memories!
    In other news! Ive been eyeing a good docking station too! I went to wallgreens the other day and was going through the clearance bens and at the very bottom we a Sony iPod doc with am/fm raido with alarm for $15 bucks! So I bought it!!! Let me just tell you, it has awesome sound!

  • Hyphen Mama Hyphen Mama says:

    Hmmm. I’d never even HEARD of a foam party until this post. Good lord… as if I didn’t have ENOUGH to worry about!

    I never heard of a foam party either. Weird. I think it would be fun for six year olds. Well, obviously without any drugs or sexual action. Wow – awesome score on the radio!

  • Brandy Brandy says:

    Ive heard of them and my 3 oldest kids where invited to one and I told them they could go if I go and while they wernt thrilled they rolled their eye and we went.

    There were other parents there and we hung outside talking and then we went in to check on the kids and we all ended up have tons of fun. I can see the appeal

    I did not see any sexual sitations but then again parents were there.

    However I think back to the things I got away with right under adults noses and it doest make me feel better!

    The way I deal is to be open and talk with my kids.

    Although let me tell ya its a lil hard to eat dinner when your 11 year old asks Whats a bj??? And then to dicover he asking bc a girl offered him one!

  • N N says:

    They say you’re not supposed to get soap in certain places right? So why in the heck would you have sex in a room that’s filled over your head with bubbles?! Oh yeah, think like a teenager’s mind here. I’m away from my parents, there’s girls in bikinis and guys with their shirts off and there’s foam. PARTY!

    LOL at the ‘bj’. When my daughter was really young,(maybe 4?) she overheard my cousin complain about a sore jaw from giving a ‘bj’. My daughter started to laugh and said she knew how that felt. I tried not to look horrified when I asked her to explain, she said “Don’t you remember how sore my mouth was from the Black Jawbreaker I got at the store?” OMG,, I didn’t bother to correct her at the time, but we laugh about it now!
