Do It. It Could Kill You.

I’ve been particularly irritated as of late when we pass cars with drivers that are using their cell phones to text message.  I am a lover of technology that’s for sure, but I can’t wrap my head around this.  Mike and I have recently watched cars swerve, drive to slow on a major highway, or [...]

Good Times, Good Times.

Unless my dear friend Lisa is lying to my face, I somehow managed to pull off a miracle this weekend! I consider Lisa my sister because we grew up together, doing everything together, and for the most part we pretty much spent every single weekend together for a lot of years. I am picky when [...]

Me: Hey Mike, can you watch the kids while I just do this one return and buy these items? Mike: Oh yeah no problem, I have it all under control ***Moments later he sends the following picture of The Diva and The Dictator watching TV in gymboree to his twitter account. Yup, all under control [...]

Crawling Out of my New Hobby Hole

I’ve been MIA from bloggy world for a week now! I can not even believe that its been a whole week because trust me time has gone by just too fast. My family is dealing with my aunt who has cancer and is currently on life support in the hospital and that has left everyone [...]
