Day 2- Quitting

I guess you could say I’m doing pretty good.  I ran out of smokes, so I can’t very well light up!  I did smoke today, but less than half a pack and it’s already 5.  I did catch myself during a phone call, I had a cigarette and realized what I was doing when I [...]

Gotta Quit!

Cigarettes went up to $5.00 a pack on January 1st, and my Mark and I had decided back in October that we would stop smoking on January 1st.  We didn’t.  And we each smoke about a pack a day, so that’s $10 a day wasted.  You do the math!  We’ve tried quitting numerous times, only to break down [...]

My Dog is Mad at Me

We’ve been VERY busy lately.  Between a wedding, a vacation, Ace’s birthday, his friend’s birthday and my horseback riding, I think my dog is starting feel neglected.  He certainly isn’t for lack of attention, food or playtime outside.  But I’m pretty sure he’s feeling left out.
Ace spent the night at my mom’s house last night [...]

Trials & Tribulations of Potty Training

I can easily admit, with little guilt, that my least favorite task in parenting is potty training.  We’ve been at it for what seems like years!  He was very close to being done with diapers until got sick about a month ago and regressed.  Right when he was feeling better we went out of town for 3 [...]

A Fun Day Just for ME

I didn’t have anything planned for today when I woke up.  I thought maybe Ace and I would go swimming if the rain held off, and I’d probably do some laundry.
But when I came upstairs, there was a message from a lady Mark works with asking me if I would like to horseback riding today.  [...]

The Crazy Things You Can Buy Online

After my friend sent this hilarious, albeit disturbing, website for a male chastity belt I decided I needed to search for the most insane products one can purchase on the internet.  Though I’m not sure if people ACTUALLY buy this stuff, somebody must have thought it was a good enough idea that they produced it [...]

Check this out!

I emailed a photo of a Wubbzy dolly I made for my son for his birthday to the Wow Wow Wubbzy “people” yesterday, and here is what they wrote back:

Hi Melissa!
First of all, your Wubbzy is ADORABLE. I love him! Second, thanks so much for sending him to me! I have a post set up [...]

Secondary Infertility Sucks!

Almost 2 years ago, Mark and I decided we wanted to have another baby.  We had no idea what the next twenty four months would have in store for us.  After a year of trying, I decided to have some tests done to make sure my baby-maker still worked.  Everything came back good, which was [...]
