I’ll give you a topic

Topic:  Wearing one’s maternity thongs on a regular basis, despite the fact that last gestating baby vacated the womb 15 months ago.  Bad idea?  (But they’re so COMFY!) Discuss.
Alternative Topic:  Forget wearing them after the fact!  Wearing any sort thong underwear whilst engaged in gestating a child.  Bad idea?  Discuss.

Oh. My. God. Need. A. Break

Oy vey.  Things have been busy around these parts.  I’m talking four writing assignments that are all due like YESTERDAY (not really, I have a tendency to exaggerate, dontchaknow?) and a kid that requires lots of attention and a dirty house and oh, yes!

Don’t worry, we wanted her to be pregnant.  A [...]

*filler*

I’m still here.  Lots of times I think I have something to say, but no time to say it.  Then I sit here and see the blinking cursor and I am at a loss for words.

A Letter to my Kid’s Teeth

Dear Teeth (MOLARS, I am looking at YOU):
Kindly hurry the hell up in breaking through my child’s sensitive little gums.  I know you are enjoying taking your sweet, sweet time in poking through in agonizing slow motion, but COME ON.  This is effing ridiculous.
I spent much of last night awake while you tortured my son.  [...]

Don’t burgle me, or you’ll be sorry

We had arrived home on Saturday night around 9 p.m.  It was pretty late, and I just wanted to get Aiden into bed and crash.  At first glance, everything in the house looked okay.  And then… we went upstairs.
When we left the house, I had turned off the lights, and closed both my master bedroom [...]

uh, whoops?

tap, tap.
Um, is this thing on??
Well, it appears I haven’t written anything here for nearly two weeks… and I’ve actually had plenty to talk about.  Just BUSY.  Very busy.
And last week we went on vacation, which of course I wasn’t going to broadcast to the internet because HELLO COME BURGLARIZE MY HOME! WE WON’T BE [...]
