When my husband and I got married, we were dead broke. As in, a $7 bottle of wine was too much except on very special occasions kinda broke. To manage this level of tight budget, I consolidated my grocery shopping into only one trip every two weeks. I planned it out down to the penny…every [...]

The past two weeks have been a big adjustment, but I am settling into work like a champ…
Meaning I have not had a big freak-out as of yet.
My office rocks, my co-workers rock, but that’s all I can say about it, as confidentiality in this business is utmost. Well, I will say that having a fancy-schmancy [...]
Yes, I’ve Been MIA—Who Knew Getting Ready to Work was a Job in Itself?
Posted in Uncategorized on July 15, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
The past week has been crazy busy.
Once my husband and I decided that I would accept this new super-awesome job, the reality of the situation began to sink in.
I’ve been a Stay-at-Home Mom for seven years. I can’t just show up for work in a few weeks, easy-peasy.
First, I doubt that my current wardrobe of [...]
Bayou-Mama Goes to Work! ( WTH??)

In a surprising turn of events, my life is changing big-time.
For a while now, I have been looking for a part-time teaching gig at a local college, or some other job that would let me use my overly-expensive education to bring in a little extra income. I wasn’t really looking that hard, but with Youngest [...]
Boys, Exercise and Fresh Air—A Recipe for World Peace

We’ve had a busy weekend around here. Yesterday, we threw a little get-together at the lake for Oldest’s birthday. We set up the blow-up water slide, which is really just a hamster wheel for children. After weeks of rain, and rain in the forecast, I was terrified that my perfectly planned, laid-back party was going [...]

30. He’s hot!

26. He is tall [...]
The Mean Face
Posted in Uncategorized on May 12, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
My husband has the worst “mean face” ever. Or the best, depending on how you look at it.
99% of the time, he is a total goof ball. He pulls pranks, tickles me until I nearly vomit and acts like he has the maturity of a 6 year old.
So, when he does break out the mean face, [...]

Don’t let the banner fool you. Me and Gardening?
Not so much. Those are my husband’s efforts, and they only look that pretty because I stay far, far away.
I want to be the princess of gardening, I really do. Every spring, I have visions of a beautifully landscaped yard. I want a vegetable garden that is [...]
