You think that’s bad?

I’m not trying to crap on your post, but I have my own set of issues…. Two weeks ago (give or take) I had a terrible cold that would not go away. The worst of it was the gunk in my lungs that I kept coughing up which would set off a gag reflex. Very [...]

How is that something as small as a germ can bring down a family?  Last week, Madeline was fighting a sore throat/slight fever/low energy bug.  Thursday night, Michael started throwing up, then Madeline woke up sounding very croup-y.  I got both of them back to bed and then collapsed into mine.  When I woke up, [...]

Pleasantly confused?

Tonight my husband and I were making dinner….well I was sitting at the table keeping him company while he cooked. Jake was playing in the hallway with his Leappad. After awhile I noticed how quiet it was in the hallway and went to look for him. The first place I looked was at the computer [...]

Does the ‘hard sell’ ever work?

Twice this week, we’ve had salesmen doing seriously hard sell tactics.  On Monday afternoon, an old guy pulls up and offers to put a new 2″ topping of asphalt on the driveway for $1600.  But, I had to decide there and then.  He had guys in town and they needed the work to fill in [...]
