Somebody smack me…

By amanda February 8th, 2010

There’s a scene in the movie Clue (a per­sonal favorite garbage brain movie) where this woman is scream­ing hys­ter­i­cally, uncon­trol­lably, being com­pletely irra­tional.  She is met by a quick slap in the face and abruptly stops.  Every­one looks at the smacker and his response is “I had to stop her from scream­ing.”
I’m not sure why […]

I like 2010…

By amanda January 4th, 2010

I have had a very good day.  A fan­tas­tic bal­ance of work and play.  Vis­ited friends, got a lot done around the house, did laun­dry, chat­ted with Sher­man, played with Ijah and my sil­ver­ware drawer is still orga­nized.
I know that sounds like a lit­tle thing, and it is…but it’s really nice to be able to […]

Perfect morning…

By amanda October 21st, 2009

Super warm bed with the soft­est com­fi­est sheets in the world, cold breeze from a rainy day out­side that makes you snug­gle closer.  Seven thirty and not a peep from the kiddo since he has begun sleep­ing later…ahhhhhh
Then I real­ized we had to get up. And on top of that we have to wake the […]

Sounding Post…

By amanda October 13th, 2009

Yes­ter­day I put a link up to an arti­cle that I found insane.  A four month old child, denied health care because of obe­sity.  Appar­ently falling above the 95th per­centile on those annoy­ing lit­tle charts can make your child too much of a risk to insure.  The com­pany has now revised their deci­sion and the […]

Timeline…

By amanda September 15th, 2009

You may ( or may not ) have noticed the wid­get on the right that links to posts from this week from a cou­ple weeks ago. I can’t decide if I was just fun­nier in the past than I am now or if I just took the time to write more.
I pre­fer to think the […]

Things you learn from your Mom…

By amanda September 12th, 2009

The other day I found myself totet­ing all of my plants back to the shower.  Ijah fol­lowed with looks and noises that could eas­ily be trans­lated as “what are you doing…weirdo”.  I’d been mean­ing to shower the plants for weeks.  The looked dusty and sad.  They didnt have that perky plant look that I love, […]

50/50…

By amanda August 30th, 2009

Sher­man threw out his back.  Some­where between pack­ing up the car from a sec­ond floor apart­ment, haul­ing boats around, lift­ing bat­ter­ies, babies, and sleep­ing on a crappy bed he has got­ten into full out old man, can’t move mode.  He hates it, I get it.  He’s kinda funny about it, kinda pout­ing, try­ing to do […]

Frightening prospect…

By amanda August 20th, 2009

Eli­jah and I were on the bus home from Tar­get today and I kept hear­ing snip­pets of con­ver­sa­tions.  This isn’t abnor­mal by any means, it’s one of the rea­sons I like the bus.  It’s my own per­sonal ver­sion of real­ity t.v.  Today. how­ever, I wished I could turn it off.  Two women, age was very […]

Dolls, Boobs, and Pasties…

By amanda August 12th, 2009

The other day a blurb flashed by on the inter­tubes that I had to click.  A breast­feed­ing doll.  Com­plete with suck­ing, burp­ing and gur­gling noises.  A lit­tle hal­ter top with flower nip­ples you pop on and into the plas­tic dolls mouth.  You may have heard of it, I’m not going to link to any of […]
