Project VCR

T.V. Love

Did you ever have someone that you thought was your friend, that you thought would stand by you no matter what and then they let you down? You had to come to the sad realization that they weren't perfect after all.This happened to me last night with my good friend DVR.I had spent the entire week looking forward to the Project Runway season finale (I never said that my life is filled with Read More

Rock a bye baby girl

The other night I was getting Caroline ready for bed. I rubbed her down with lotion and then put a diaper on her. For just a moment, I looked at her little pot belly hanging out of that diaper and smelled that sweet lavender lotion that I've been putting on her since she was born, and I saw my baby again.At some point in the last year, the baby went away and was replaced by a delightful little Read More

That’s amore’

T.V. Love

Every week I tell myself that I'm not going to discuss The Bachelor, but y'all it is just too good. I wasn't sure that tonight could possibly have anything more entertaining than last weeks' drunken debacle but then, oh then came Erica with her explanation of how "Agnes" understands her so well because Erica speaks English with an Italian accent.I am not lying when I say that I almost fell off my Read More

Just say no to drugs unless the offer is made by Mama

Here are two things that came out of my mouth this past week that will leave y'all marveling at the depth of my parenting expertise.Tuesday night I was heating up leftover spaghetti for Caroline and she told me she didn't want spaghetti, she wanted pizza. This is exactly what I said, "Well this is spaghetti and it's the same thing as pizza". Except that it's you know, not.Both foods are however Read More

Where does my help come from?

Seriously

Some circumstances this week have made me take a hard, honest look at myself. You know, one of those times you look way down deep into the crevices where you keep things hidden because honestly, it can be a little ugly down there and sometimes it's easier to ignore.My cold, hard realization is that I am putting a huge amount of trust in myself. I am counting on my abilities, my charm, my Read More

Now that’s what I call a good day

Aggieland, Capital P

Okay, first of all, the Aggies won. We beat a previously unbeaten Missouri team that was ranked #19. I wasn't sure we had it in us, but I'm so proud we did it. Gig'em Ags!Secondly, thanks to Susie at Bluebird Blogs, Big Mama has a fancy new look. Hope y'all like it because I sure do.Lastly, P brought home flowers for me for no reason at all (well, other than I've been a little stressed out) Read More

The next generation

Aggieland

My beloved Aggies are playing Missouri today and obviously, if y'all have been paying attention, they are going to need all the help they can get. So, let me present today's cheering section.This is Caroline with her partners in crime, otherwise known as Gulley's boys. They are the fightin' Texas Aggie classes of '25, '26 and '28.We might not win the game, but at least we look cute. Read More

Friday six otherwise known as I have nothing else to say

Just for fun

I am all tapped out at the moment, so here is my Friday six. I've also had to edit this about five times for various grammatical errors, so obviously my brain isn't working at full capacity. These are the things that are on my mind right now. I'll warn you that it isn't very exciting or necessarily interesting, for that matter.1. Caroline is on a new diet that I'm going to call the "cocktail Read More
