What I Learned This Week – Stuff

November 30, 2010

Here we are just a day away from December, and I am already busier than a raccoon in a trash-pile. Thankfully though, I have learned a thing or two over the years regarding the month of December. It has a tendency to sneak up on me and THEN, in the blink of an eye, it’s gone. [...]

In a line, in the rain, waiting for nothing.

November 29, 2010

I’m sitting on the love-seat next to McDaddy. I am writing today’s blog post and he appears to be looking at a forum, probably something to do with automotives. Desperate Housewives is a bust because it is a rerun from a few weeks back which is an aggravation. I put the smack down on Housewives about ten minutes in and [...]

I Ate This

November 25, 2010

By the time you read this, I will no doubt be demonstrating my domestic prowess in the kitchen on Thanksgiving Day. Or something like that. More likely than not, I will also have eaten my weight in desserts like chocolate delight, pumpkin pie (slathered in cool whip), banana pudding, hairy cake, and cute turkey cupcakes. [...]

Family Christmas Letter

November 23, 2010

I am one of those people. One of those people who send the highly anticipated Christmas letter.  Ahem. Each year, I attempt to write an entertaining letter. The last thing I want to do is come off sounding like Braggy McBraggerson even though it would be very easy to do when you have two super [...]

Cute Christmas Letters and Chocolate, Jermagesty

November 23, 2010

It’s the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. It is also Thanksgiving break here in our school district which means NO ALARM CLOCK for the McFamily this week! And for that, I am seriously thankful. Today, I completed Phase 2 of the annual McFamily Christmas Card project which means that all 16 boxes of cards have been signed and the address [...]

Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum

November 22, 2010

Some time ago, McDaddy mentioned that the Jeep Club had been invited to participate in a flashlight tour of a lunatic asylum located about 10o miles from our house. Being the freakweird person that I am, I immediately said, “We should go!” On Friday afternoon we said goodbye to the kids, grabbed our overnight bag (yes, [...]

I’d love it if you’d like my page!

November 19, 2010

In the past 24 hours, I have wasted precious time sleeping, or at least trying to. I have not felt the greatest and didn’t have the least bit of energy to do one single thing. I’m hoping by the time you read this I’ll be back to normal because I am way too busy to [...]

You Capture – Inspiring

November 18, 2010

What inspires me? I’ve discovered this week that finding things that inspire me isn’t nearly as easy I thought it would be. When I think of the word inspire, I think of three things, really. My hubby and my boys. They inspire me to be a better person. A better wife. A better mom. Instead [...]

Thursday Thirteen – As For Me and My Mouth

November 17, 2010

As a blogger, I am always on the search for interesting, entertaining blog fodder. That’s not to say I always find it or produce it. It just means I am always looking for it. Yesterday, I had my semi-annual dental visit. I hate going to the dentist and mostly that’s because I don’t floss as [...]

When the dust settles

November 16, 2010

Before I get started, I should let you know that this is NOT a post about dusting. I hate to dust. In fact, it is my least favorite of all household chores in the history of household chores because the second I am finished dusting a surface, the dust settles and it needs dusting again. [...]
