I ran across this commencement speech from Harvard University in 2003 given by commedian Will Ferrell. There were a couple of political stabs in it, but oh well. It’s still too funny to not let you in on it. Gotta go, I’m starting to hear the faint music of "Sweet Home Alabama" playing in the [...]

To start off, happy birthday to my dad. He’s 62. He won’t be reading this since they’re at the bay this week, but I didn’t forget about him.This has been a hectic week, you’d think that since Tiffany and Caleb were gone, that I would have gobs and gobs of free time to sit and [...]

Caleb had his first real field trip today. It was his morning at Heather and Rachel’s house. He loves days he gets to play up there. I dropped him off at 8 am, and Heather mentioned she was going to take them to the zoo. I immediately thought she was crazy. A hundred degree day, [...]

Caleb made a big transition today with ease from his highchair to a booster seat at our kitchen table. This need to transition came from watching Super Nanny last night. Nanny Jo was getting on a family for having a toddler still in a highchair instead of at the table with them. I had never [...]

Before I begin: this is indeed a family friendly post. Still though, given the title, I can only guess what kinds of sordid ads Google will choose to display at the bottom of the page. I have no control, so consider yourself forewarned. Even though I get paid a few cents every time you click [...]

Yesterday when I got home from work, Tiffany was babysitting her friend’s twin girls. Both the girls and Caleb were in the bath tub when I walked in, so immediately I began to act as her reinforcements. The girls had never met me before, so they were hesitant to let me help out. So I [...]

Caleb gets several aches and pains during each day. He is always stumping his toe or falling into something. I can prevent him from getting upset about it by kissing his hurt area (boo boo). He runs to me saying, "Mama kiss hurt". Well, tonight I was busy in the kitchen when he stepped on [...]
