The Truth Is, I’ve Lost Control.
I feel as though my posts are merely updates, pictures, and recipes. I can't remember the last time I wrote a very meaningful post on here. And this is because I have slowly but surely lost control of my day. I felt as though I was on a roll when Benjamin was 7-8...
Meet-and-Greet Monday
To entertain the kids, I thought I'd break out the ol' buck o' water trick. Except Benjamin mistook it for a pool. And then Olivia proceeded to give him a bath. And then bathed herself. Benjamin loved being wrapped in a towel. Perhaps it brought him back to the days...
House Drama – What I Didn’t Tell You
I meant to, but ... the hot weather ... it's making me sluggish. 😛 But I'm telling you now. The seller refused to release our earnest money. He claimed that since he agreed to "fix" the termite damage, he had fulfilled his half of the bargain and we were expected...
Recipe Swap: Seafood Edition – Crispy Oven-Fried Fish
I hope you all are ready to astound me with your seafood recipes. Because I only have two. Tuna noodle casserole and this one. Crispy oven-fried fish. Pathetic selection, I know. And fish is supposed to be so healthy for you, too! (But I can rarely find it at $0.79/lb...

This week's Works For Me Wednesday is the "Mooooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmm, I'm bored" edition. And while my kids aren't old enough to say things like that, they sure can act bored. And today, while Benjamin was napping, Olivia was just not tired. So I brought her...
For Those Of You Who Love Veggie Tales. And Are Addicted To The Office.
You will laugh. You will cry. Because you are laughing SO HARD. Enjoy! And on a more serious note, a ballad on the Jim/Pam romance:
Meet-and-Greet Monday

Houses and Cars and Midwives, Oh My!
We have officially backed out of the house-purchasing ordeal. It looks as though we may be losing $650: $350 for inspection (yeah, I thought it was only $250) and $300 for loan application fees. We're going to look at some rental houses tomorrow that just got put on...
So Just How Bad IS Termite Damage, Anyway?
We had the house inspected yesterday. Found a lot of termite damage in the basement. Apparently there are these things called floor joists. And they are pretty crucial to the, um, overall structure of the house. And the inspector (doodoodoodoodoo, In-spec-tor...
