The Good News: Paul had the whole week of Thanksgiving off. The Plan: Relax! We would drop Stevie off at school and go see movies. We would pick him up and go play. We would get lots of rest. We would go on a couple dates. Eat yummy food and maybe pretend we were somewhere…
What better day to take stock than Thanksgiving? This list is from the Meet Me At Mike’s blog! Hope everyone is having a crazy, love-filled, magical holiday weekend! Making: scarves for the homeless. 7 down, 8 to go. Cooking : mashed potatoes in the crock pot for the first time. Drinking : coffee with a little…
I am pre-tty sure I’ve tried every mascara on the market. Drug store, name brand, anything that is sold at Target. I’ve been wearing black goop on my lashes religiously since I was 14 and I’ve never even found a brand that I like enough to be loyal to. The one that has come closest…
I am up to my eyeballs in editing photos this time of year, but I had to mention Stevie’s little red wagon. Because it’s his new favorite thing. And who knows how long a favorite thing will last? It’s no secret that Stevie likes to roll things down our hallway. It has been referred to…
If I have to hear that Of Mice & Men song on the radio one more time… I swear. And while we are at it, why are we OK with the existence of Avicii?? Let’s work on our music standards. I’m lookin at you KROQ. Is there anything more disheartening than when you find out your favorite…

When I’m mentally preparing for a day at Disneyland, I have to put on my “game face”. Which is probably not what you think. It’s actually me trying to make an extra effort to be kind and courteous to the other people in the park. Because there are really some douche-bags there. I mean really.…
Once upon a time, music was one of the most important things in my life. I guess that has sort of fallen to the wayside now. When you casually ask your little sister “So… what are the cool songs now?” you are officially old. Groooan. But not so long ago, I swear I was super…
After 5 days of fever, it has finally broken!!! The illness turned out to be a nasty ear infection, so Stevie is on his first (and hopefully only) round of antibiotics now. His cough still sounds terrible and sleep has been a complete joke. It’s rare to see this kid so miserable that he won’t…
Dear roofers, sorry I was THAT lady who came out and yelled at you for being too noisy. I know you just had a job to do, but 4 days of interrupted naps made for a very cranky household. Someone had to be blamed! And it might as well be you. Best, Crazy Mom. Sometimes…
