I’ve always been an organized person. I remember being a child who would fold her Barbie doll clothes and put them into the little pink Barbie suitcase for safekeeping. Shoes went in the trunk of the Barbie Cadillac. Hair accessories went in their little yellow organizer. Life was good. Now I am sharing something with…
Read MoreI can literally go days without a single funny blog to post. Days. I mean, I’m funny in my head all the time, but sometimes when you write it down it just reads stupid. And not funny stupid, but regular old stupid. And then there are nights like last night. My brain hit the motherload and…

The day started off normal enough. I played my farm game on my iPad before daycare. Checked my Facebook. Read a few tweets. Sent off some iMessages. It was business as usual.

Last night I struggled to fall asleep. It was after midnight and I knew that my clock was going to go off at 0500. My brain was doing the “if you fall asleep right now you’ll get (blank) hours of sleep” deal that all brains do to stay awake and torture your body. Stupid brain.…

This morning Lola and I made the command decision to clean the house. We couldn’t find a housecleaner that we liked and could afford so we’re doing all the heavy lifting ourselves. Dreams of hiring a housekeeper made us complacent this week. So there I am, moving all of our furniture, when I get the…
Read MoreI have a confession to make. My house is a mess, my clean laundry for the past month and a half is just piled onto the spare bed (which is king sized) with no room for more, and I can’t seem to beat the spiders this summer. I’m going insane. I briefly lost my sanity…
