HAGS & HEROES

Well- have been recovering from Max’s birthday bash for the past few days. Still feeling the aftereffects of a serious cake coma. It was big, it was wet and it was a blast… just like we always do. See, we don’t mean to have such huge parties but- when they roll around- we look at [...]

STRANGE DAYS

So it’s been a bizarre day. Let’s just start with the fact that I only had 5 hours sleep, because I’m an idiot and had to stay up and watch “So You Think You Can Dance” until 1am… because I’m an ass. Then had to get up and do 3 bootcamps today because Doug is [...]

NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH

Well, Reader- I just wouldn’t be me without a monthly anger-management episode…
So, some backstory. We live on a perfect street, a tiny slice of Mayberry/Suburbia in Burbank. Sure, some neighbors could be bounced but, for the most part, Perfect, USA. Anyway, we have a “honker”. No, not some racial slur but an actual car, that [...]

FOR THE DADDIES

I will cry at your birth like a blubbering schoolgirl.
I will test that true capacity of your diapers.
I will change you in spite of my gag reflex.
I will hide my hurt when you always reach for “mama” but dance with joy at your first utterance of “Dada”.
I will NEVER learn to multitask- and you will [...]

DRIVE BY

Hey reader- been SWAMPED with the bootcamps, kids and Dog- who is amazing, loving and insanely tolerante of baby & toddler hands BUT has nutty separation anxiety & howls when we leave. Good times for our neighbor who works at home. We have tried a crate but she still barks and then Houdini’s out of [...]

NEW ADDITION

We’ll forget that skeeze I was mad at- we’ve taken on a whole new world of pain… Yes- a new dog. Meet “Watts”. (The naming origin and pain will be explained in a moment) she is a “God Dog”… as in- as soon as we let go- God brought us together.
So, we knew that the [...]

GEARING UP

Been a great week and an even better weekend. Doug spent the whole weekend with us instead of working which is the BEST result of the bootcamps doing so well. So far, we have 4 going and are always on the prowl for further ways to promote/expand. BUt, now that we’re settling into the routine [...]

SETTLING IN

My new boobs and me. So- to backtrack- the surgery was fine- I showed up on only 3 hours sleep so, when they kept trying to wake me up in recovery, I was just annoyed. My chest was sore- like I had taken a coupla kicks but NOTHING like the recovery of 2 c-sections OR [...]
