Just call me Dr. Dobson

Caroline has always been an early riser. I can't tell you how many days we have been up and 'at 'em before sunrise or as Caroline says when it's "still darken outside". Really, I blame her father. Sadly, he too is an early riser. It's all about genetics.I heard Tina Fey on The Tonight Show the other night talking about her new baby and she said that the worst feeling in the world is being up for Read More

One week later…paci rehab

Doodle

As y'all know, last Tuesday we got rid of Caroline's pacis. She has done incredibly well and hasn't even asked for them, so I basically dodged a bullet on this one.Last week, we went to this really cool neighborhood toy store because I had promised that once the pacis were gone, she could pick out a new big girl toy, whatever she wanted. This is what she picked.This is further proof that she does Read More

An extravaganza of entertainment

Capital P, Memories

This past weekend the Hunters' Extravaganza was in town. Back in the days when P. and I were young and newly in love, I would go with him every year to survey the veritable wealth of all things hunting related.We would stroll up and down the aisles holding hands and y'all I was so in love that I didn't even care that all the booths basically sold some version of deer urine, ugly camo clothing, or Read More

You say it’s your birthday

Just for fun

Today is my 35th birthday and honestly, I can't believe I'm 35. I know some of y'all are thinking 35 isn't old and it's really not, but it's not an age I ever imagined myself being. Last year when I turned 34, I told P. "You know 34 is really the last age where you sound young." He said "I hate to tell you, but 34 doesn't really sound that young." Oh, he's a smooth talkin' devil.Gulley's taking me Read More

Doodle

Caroline and I went to Michael's yesterday to look for some ribbon. She begged me not to make her ride in the cart and since Michael's has these dinky, little carts, I agreed.I'm looking at all this ribbon, completely overwhelmed by all the choices, and she's pushing the cart. Finally, she says "Vamamos Mama, let's go. VAMAMOS". Then, later on during lunch, she ate her peanut butter and jelly and Read More

Can you hear me now?

Just for fun

About a year ago we switched our all of our phone, T.V., computer services to Time Warner Cable. I pay the bills and thought it would be so easy to have one little bundled package that we pay for each month. The only problem...everytime you use the phone, the wireless service on the computer disconnects itself. Our phone service has been so bad that we never use our home phone. We'll answer it and Read More

Turning fashion icons into fashion victims

T.V. Love

I was really going to try to do a Thursday Thirteen today, so what does it say about my creative thinking skills that I couldn't think of one subject to think up thirteen things about? Maybe since I have seven days until next Thursday, I can think of something between now and then. In the meantime, here are my thoughts on last night's Project Runway which is my new addiction (along with Read More

Step 1…Admit you have a problem

Doodle

Yesterday marked the day that I have been dreading for 3 years. I knew it was coming and I agonized, strategized, and theorized on the best steps to take to overcome an addiction problem right here in my home.Hello, my name is Caroline and I am addicted to my pacifier.Oh, it started innocently enough. When they brought my little bundle back into the hospital room after cleaning her up, she had a Read More

Random things that have made me laugh this week

Just for fun

There are a few things that have been said in my presence this week that are too funny not to share. I'd love to somehow weave them into a brilliant post, but my limited writing skills seem to have taken leave. So here they are in no particular order of "funniness".1. My mom came to visit this weekend. She never quite finishes her whole thought on a subject. We were discussing my Read More
