I’ve always lived in Indiana, but things are different up here. I grew up outside of Indianapolis, but now I live in the far northwest corner of the state. We’re considered part of Chicagoland.
People up here speak strangely. Not all of them… just some of them.
You know those little clips used to hold hair out [...]
I’ve had a bit of a rough week, for numerous little reasons. Today didn’t help much.
My husband had an hour at home between jobs. I thought this would be just long enough to jaunt out to the local discount store all alone to hoard all the back-to-school sale-priced Fruit of the Looms. (Sad, but true.)
Since [...]
I recently heard about this book in which Moms divulge their “dirty little secrets.” You know, the little fibs they tell their kids and whatnot. I think it would be an interesting read, but I have my own take on revealing our imperfections. I’ll call it “slacker mom syndrome.”

Notice anything different?
Over at Shannon’s blog, she’s started a cool series called, “What I’d like for you to know.” She has guest bloggers write about life from their perspective, which is generally a bit different than the “norm.” (Though I think there isn’t really a norm for anyone.)

I’m not really sure how they scored this thing. Honestly, I’m very, very surprised! Who knew?
How’d you do?
Things have been a bit off-schedule around here lately…. Not that we really have a schedule. it’s more like just a routine.
