Yeah, Fifth Disease is no big deal for kids, but worse for adults, and he should be kept far away from pregnant women.
SO MUCH NON-STOP CRAZY EXCITEMENT, Vol. 2
Fifth disease. Ezra has it. Now, if you're anything like me (read: insane), you hear the words "fifth disease" and think HOLY SHIT, DISEASE? THE FIFTH ONE? OUT OF HOW MANY? LIKE, ON A SCALE OF THE TOP TEN MOST TERRIBLE DISEASES YOUR PRESCHOOLER CAN GET? Not so much. It basically means: He had...

End times
In the last year, Oklahoma has experienced an invasion of locusts, drought, fire, extreme record high temperatures, extreme record low temperatures, and now earthquakes. Oh, and OSU's football team is #2 in the country and #1 in the Big 12... Continue reading

There and back again
In honor of NaBloPoMo, I've decided to fire up the blog again. And thanks to taking about a year off, I surely have something to talk about, right? (Actually, I always have something to talk about. The only question is... Continue reading

Laurel, that's what I was thinking... what if it's two people reading/commenting from work, or someone "borrowing" the neighbor's wifi? Although I really *want* to be someone getting busted for trying to be two different people, just because that's so awesome.
Trip.2011.1
Steve called Mike and explained the situation. Mike said - to paraphrase - good god you certainly don't want me there if your kid is having surgery; I'll just come some other time. Steve offered to pay any change fees, Mike said of course not, and two hours later he had rebooked his flight for t...
Tret probably means tretinoin which is Retin-A
Miracle Cream!
I know a number of you suffer (I like to use that word with a bit of melodrama. It's fun to claim to suffer from things that aren't really a big deal. I wish I had a fainting sofa, but I'll setttle with a heavy sigh and feigned mop of the brow.) from melasma, as I do. Melasma is the "mask" of p...
Dear Uterus...
I think we've both seen this coming for a long time. You know things between us have never been great, and your buddies the ovaries don't make it any easier. It's been obvious since January that we're simply growing in... Continue reading

Good Lord, you look just like Tawny Kitaen in that last pic. All you need is a Jag.
Like you, I always thought I was fat. Unlike you, I actually was overweight at that age, but not the whale I am right now. I wish I had appreciated my body when I actually had a body to appreciate.
history of gorilla-hair during the early 90's
Look at this young couple. The couple where one mate has donned on a peacock-patterned vest while the other one has rudely applied red lipstick rivaling "The Jokers" mask. Here I'm dating a souped-up, New Kids on the Block, Joey McIntyre. One on a massive roids ride or chief entertainer of t...
Outsmarted II: The Outsmartinator
Like last year, all of Boo's summer field trips were on Fridays this year. And I'm off on Fridays during the summer. So naturally I get to go. Yay me. There was one trip I was really dreading. The trip... Continue reading

My younger sister recently stopped dying. I was not a fan of this decision, since I feel it ages me, as her older sister (and it's all about MEEEEE!) but after an awkward month or two it looks very nice. She has dark brown hair and I've always loved the salt & pepper.
As for graying gracefully, I remember seeing a makeover show where a woman had salt & pepper gray and simply wanted *less* gray, so they only covered some of it. Technically, I believe it was kind of like getting lowlights. That might be something to consider. But you know what would be really cool? Dye your hair gray. All of it. Then the new growth will come in with some brown, and you'll be browning instead of graying. Freak people out!
Coming out
I’ve been dishonest with you all for far, far too long. I can’t lie any longer. Are you sitting down? You’re probably sitting down. If you’re not, you should sit down. Or lie down, with your legs slightly elevated. How and where you recline is entirely your call. I’m just saying, if you’re stand...
Outsmarted
My best laid plans always go to waste. Item the first: Boo had been whining for a cell phone for months. ALL HER FRIENDS had one. She was the ONLY PERSON IN SCHOOL who didn't. Yeah, right. But a few... Continue reading

See, THIS is your problem...
Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who listens to the lyrics... I’ve already bitched about Justin Bieber, but he’s not the only one whose songs make me say “huh.” "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" by Wham: Cuddle... Continue reading

Troubles
So, it's really been more than a month since I posted? Goodness. Much has been going on. Very little of it good. Within the span of a week, J developed kidney stones, my nephew had an illness that "could be... Continue reading

Well, your mother is just a TAD bit dramatic, isn't she?
Thorn birds
Whoops, there goes another fortnight...you know, I probably wouldn't even notice these long lapses of time, were it not for the gentle reminders from the nice folks who pay me a little bit of cash from time to time for running an ad at the side bar. Things are- well- not so good here, unfortuna...
What do you mean, use the "other" seat? Did you have two bathrooms? Or was there another toilet next to the Toto?
Anniversary weekend!
Scott and I spent the weekend living it up, fancy-style, as befits our 11-years-married status. (We were dating for four years before that. 15 years! I was dating my now-husband when some of you all were wearing short pants!) As I mentioned previously, I got us a room at the Ritz-Carlton for his ...
My sister-in-law's staircase is very much like yours, except that there is no bookcase there. No railing. Nothing. Just a sheer drop to a wood floor several feet below. I don't know what the builders were thinking. Maybe they hated children. I don't even know how it could meet building codes, come to think of it.
Anyway, you know those things that go in the back of an SUV to keep dogs from climbing from the cargo area into the seat? I wonder if they make them in house sizes. Just a thought.
Strung Hams
I realize that these last couple of posts have made it sound as if I want to treat Caroline like a convicted juvenile offender (held until she is 18) but in truth she is merely a person of interest. I just wanted to keep her in a safe place for twenty-four, seventy-two hours tops; and then, of c...
I had my annual yesterday too. Good times. I like it when I have to fill out the form that asks what I'm using for birth control and I'm all... um... my own body? Does that count?
Anyway. I don't know which doctor you went to, but I do know that one clinic in OKC is *significantly* less expensive than the other one, if you decide to get up on that horse again. (Or at least that was true when I was going through the shit, lo these many years ago). Oh, and the less expensive one was the one that was successful for me.
And yes, totally go for the acupuncture and whatnot.
hi, i need me a baby!
Today was my yearly poke and prod. After three kids you would think I would treat these visits like getting a simple pedicure or having my eyebrows waxed but alas, I do not. The maintenance and drugs that go into such visits could totally wear a girl out. or make her blood pressure shoot to stro...

Eh. If Brendan Fraser is a whore for not sticking to Oscar-quality pictures, I'm a cheap dirty crack whore for working at Walmart one summer. We've all gotta pay the bills. :-)
Brendan Fraser Has a Lot of Integrity
The actor is prepared to walk away from a hefty payday because of a dispute with the studio over who should direct -- he'd rather not make the film at all if it means compromising his artistic vision. This all sounds fantastic until you find out just what movie and directors we're talking abo...
Misery loves company, but she will never foot the bill
Yesterday I managed to scratch my cornea by getting a chunk of mascara stuck to the inside of my eyelid. That's right. I injured myself by putting on makeup. Think about that for a while. It's truly pitiful, isn't it?... Continue reading
