The Crazy Train

February 9, 2011

Admittedly, I have a strong will, serious opinions and thismuch patience. For that reason, I often find it difficult to slow this crazy train down once something gets in my head. As you might imagine living with me is a trip. Take for instance, last Thursday evening. McDaddy and Stevie took off on an impromptu evening ski trip. [...]

Beauty and The Beast

January 21, 2011

The weather guy, in his infinate wisdom has predicted that we will get between two and six inches of snow by Friday morning. Two. And six. That’s quite a difference, but if I’m being honest, the two might as well be six when it comes to my driving in it, because I am a chicken. [...]

What I Learned This Week

October 11, 2010

Several years ago, McDaddy got it in his head that the McFamily needed a 4-wheel drive vehicle. We had recently purchased a home that sits atop a mountain that requires a drive straight up a big honkin’ steep hill, so the purchase made perfect sense to me.

Another Post About The Heap, er, I Mean Jeep

August 31, 2010

It’s back to school around here and that means we are back to answering to that darn alarm clock. I hate my alarm clock and I hate the back-to-the-grind schedule. We lay out clothes, pack snacks, and place the backpack right next to the door so that our morning routine goes smoothly. I am counting [...]
