It is true… Most times thoughout the day I’ve got a smattering of food under Adalyn’s chair. Thankfully I had the forethought to lay a kitchen towel under her seat… and I can just shake it off out in the yard for the chickens so it’s all good… … but this messy baby eating stage […]

A mothers dilemma: Keep sleeping or wash off the sour milk?
I know this is just one of the many dilemmas I’ll have to face as a parent. This one is significant because it’s the first one, you know a milestone. So humor me okay? Babies vomit. Mine in particular loves to be at the breast 24/7 which inevitably leads to overeating, which in turn results […]
Um, did someone die in this house? Man it smells! (Evansville rental home search continues…)
I am going to be honest, this home hunt thing has really made me a downer lately. I know how boring and blah the posts have been and I am trying to not go on and on about the same crap, it is just hard to swiftly change perspective when nothing is actually looking up […]
Critters are everywhere! What is that in our wall?
You know we always have crazy eventful times with animals around here right? I mean all of our pets come to us by some sort of fate. They dart in our front door or are starving in a hole by the sidewalk when we walk by. We are suckers, we just can’t walk by and […]
Bubbling with anticipation and watching the world blow by…
Tomorrow is our big ultrasound appointment and we are excited about it. We are dying to know if Tater Tot is a boy or girl and we know you are itching to know too… Also, we called a local lender today and are waiting to hear if we are pre approved for a mortgage. We […]
Cat poo, candles and flaming tales. More pet madness to share!
You know how sometimes when you do something you get this flash of disaster scenario warning you of the what-if’s? I got one right as I was lighting a candle in my stinky bathroom. You see I was drawing a bath which is an immediate invitation for one of my cats to take a giant […]
House floods and hair dye…
I am one of those 20somethings who already has gray hairs, yep it is true! Actually it is a chunk of gray hairs, kind of a streak on my right side right near my hair line. I usually dye my hair with the intent of covering the gray I have tons of hair so I […]
Beer fest in flagstaff and the regular domestic disaster before moving
N got tickets to beer fest through his work and was super excited to go. He is afterall a beer lover/ homebrewer so this event was right up his alley. Me, I am not a fan of beer but I figured getting out of the house and having some alcohol might not be a bad […]
Yuck, I made "cowboy coffee" this morning…
So, we got this new coffee maker because our old one was like 10 years old and it took several hours to brew one freaking pot of coffee. It was evaporating the water before it managed to drip through the system and onto the coffee grounds. N’s birthday is coming so I thought getting him […]
WTF, the shower curtain is making me crazy!
The rental we are in right now strangely enough came equip with shower curtains. When we first moved in the shower curtains wreaked of urine and the house hadn’t been thoroughly cleaned so we contacted the rental company and they sent out a house cleaner. The house cleaner who barely spoke English told me they […]
Just got electrocuted but I am feeling good..
Yep, you read it right I just got electrocuted but I am feeling good! I spent the day getting ready for our competition tomorrow. My students and I have been working hard to get ready for another performance this weekend that leads up to our state championships. They are doing some amazing work and I […]
Working on the Nissan Maxima…
As some of you already know, our car died last week and we had planned to work on removing the alternator this weekend. I have never worked on a car before but we didn’t let that stop us.We had our little manual for the job, it showed photos and directions for getting the tasks accomplished […]
Don't pour bleach on bunny pee! (or any pee for that matter)
Ugh, my nose is burning and it’s cause I had a temporary moment of stupidity. We are moving in 15 days and I have an ongoing list of crap to accomplish. Today it was sweeping/ cleaning the wood floors and cleaning bunny’s cage/ mess. Oh and I was supposed to find the Nissian repair book […]
New stove should be here soon..
Thanks to everyone for all your concern! Our stove is toast, the firemen told us to make sure they didn’t try to have us use it again. Here is why: We called the rental company we are renting this place from, the scheduled an appliance guy to come out this afternoon to take […]
Our stove was on fire!
Yep, you read it right… Our stove caught fire tonight! I baked some chicken breasts in the oven and then turned the stove off. N and I were eating dinner and this repulsive smell was wafting through the house. I mentioned it to N several times over dinner. Eventually the smell got stronger and then […]
They say misery loves company….
… and I believe it is true. The thing that bothers me most is people who are bitter or angry and insist on trying to ruin everybody else’s day. Yesterday was my day off and I was set on trying to enjoy it despite all the things that weigh on me. I garden when I […]
Random musings…..
Tuesday is my birthday and my family is coming to see me for the weekend. Today was one of my “almost days off” so I tried to get some house cleaning and straightening done. One of my main focuses is my bulb garden. I have been watering the flower beds and trying to get all […]
I am appalled!! Continuation of: "This holiday weekend sucked!!"
Continuation of: “This holiday weekend sucked!!” Over the last week I have had some significant car drama. My car was revving out of control on the way home, I almost had a major wreck. You can read the initial post here. So my car was towed to a mechanic near my parent’s home down in […]
This "holiday weekend" sucked!!
Sometimes I just hate holidays!! I am usually working on holidays which means I am waiting on other people, ensuring they have a wonderful time and all that… Holidays mean overly excited people who are usually also very picky and impossible to please.. I am sure you can already tell that my holiday weekend did […]
