Dear Nap Time,
Share the lies: Dear Sweet Nap Time, Stop being a dick! Seriously! I thought we were cool, I thought we saw eye to eye. Thought we understood each other. Apparently I was mistaken. You’ve been using me. Teasing me. Disrespecting me. And for these reasons, we need to break up. Wait! Don’t go! I love [...]
Traveling Part Duex + A Mega Douche
Share the lies: Ahhhhh……we are on vacation this week. Glorious, sunny Florida visiting Nick’s parents. We made the same trip last year as well, and I am totally jinxing our return trip by putting this in writing, but something magical happened during transit between our house in the burbs of Chicago and the arrival to [...]
Tiny Socks
Share the lies: It happens at least once a week, someone asks either Nick, me or both of us if we are having more kids. When the children are being good and acting cute the tone is usually one of “Awww…..they make cute babies, I should ask them if they are having more!” When the [...]
“Playdates” Aren’t For Kids.
Share the lies: Whether you stay at home, or work outside of the home, attachment parent, free range parent or something in between, I am sure there is one thing we can all agree on. At times, kids can be….well, to say it mildly, super annoying. With summer approaching with frightening speed (three weeks earlier [...]
Dear Oasis Guy,
Share the lies: Dear Oasis Guy, First, I want you to know that I have a killer headache and it is all because of you and your “generosity.” If you are from the Chicagoland area, Oasis Guy, you know that the rain lately has been relentless, neverending and horrible. The kids and I stopped at [...]
You Can’t Go Back….But Sometimes You Can Visit.
Share the lies: You never know when a seemingly mundane event might become life changing. So when I pushed through the door at 910 W. Buena on an oppressively hot summer day in 1997, I had no idea that a dingy little bar was going to have so much meaning for my future. At the [...]
I Hate You Daylight Savings Time
Share the lies: You know when you just know a day is going to suck before it happens, and you do your best to steel yourself for it? There are planned suck fests, like when you have a 6 a.m. flight. The night before the flight, you think “What asshole made this reservation?” Then you [...]
Why The Internet Was Really Invented
Share the lies: I was born during a time before the mighty interweb was invented. I grew up during a time when the rotary telephone was attached to the wall with a long stretched out cord, you had to get off the couch to turn the dial on the TV if you wanted a new [...]
I Made It!
Share the lies: Sigh of relief! Phewwwww! Today is the last fu*king horrible lovely day of Christmas break. No one was harmed, and my sanity is *mostly* in tact. I’ll be totally honest, I was dreading it. Last years break was a nightmare, and it seemed to last for three years. Last year was my [...]
And Then I Gave Myself a Concussion While on the Toilet
Share the lies: I hope you’ll excuse me if I am a little dumber then usual this week. You see, in a ridiculous flourish of stupidity I cracked my head while preparing to sit on the toilet and gave myself a minor concussion. In addition to the concussion, I seem to have inflamed a bunch [...]
