So I posted links to this Free Range Kids Blog Post about a 9 year left in a car to wait for mom and dad with her 6 year old sleeping sibling. Someone walking by called the police and CPS and Dad got arrested for child neglect. I posted this in several places, deliberately.  The [...]

Today Adam Is

11 weeks old!! He had his first shots on Tuesday.  No side effects except for very sleepy!  He even slept the night through last night.  Mummy was very grateful. He is 14 pounds and 24 inches.  My good big boy. Gets that from his 6’2″ daddy and not his 5’2″ mummy.

So, I Once Swore I Wouldn’t Use

Facebook or MySpace or any other social networking site because they were stupid. I was wrong. Sure, people can take them much too seriously.  Just like message boards. But what I am finding really really neat is the way my friends are interconnecting just because they all know me. Example: My status said: How does [...]

Of course, this doesn’t mean you haven’t been hurt.  Daddy was clipping your fingernails and missed and cut a big chunk out of one of your fingers.  That’s [...]

I Never Write About Celebrities On Here

There are plenty of blogs who do that. And I never grieve when a celebrity dies.  I didn’t know them, why grieve?  I feel bad for their families, but you will never find me crying over a celebrity death. But John Hughes’ death I am grieving over. Not just because it means part of my [...]
