Duck, aka The Monkey, Jr.

The last couple of weeks have been very hard at my house: Duck has discovered politics.
 
I have always been terrified that B and I were going to give birth to and be forced to live with at least one strict Republican -some sort of Karmic payback for us being so die hard liberals.  Family Ties [...]

Holy shit, there went my brain - and I liked it!

I like movies. In fact, I love movies. There’s just about nothing that I like more than sitting on the couch with a big ol’ bowl of popcorn with nutritional yeast (don’t knock it ’til you’ve tried it because oh sweet Elvis, it’s outta sight,) and watching a good movie.
I said a GOOD movie.

I am the champion of the universe

So, B mentions that he heard this song ages ago.  Couldn’t remember who did it, but knew that it was a cover of Bob’s Johnny Was a Good Man.
 
I found it and downloaded it, for free, in about 10 minutes.
 
Oh yeah. 
 
He-Man has nothing on me.
 
I am champion of the free universe.
 
Or, at least, my husband [...]

back in the saddle again

I’ve been dreaming about births lately.  I’ve been dreaming about the rush I get from being around the power of hard working mamas and the intoxicating head rush that comes when the birth mojo gets good.  I’ve been missing the feeling of rushing out of bed at 3 am and knowing that I’m off to [...]

Busting at the seams with pride for Duck

Duck has always struggled with writing.  He will sit at the computer and type out a full page story, but when it comes to holding a pen or pencil and writing, forget it.  He was never interested in coloring and don’t even think about flat out drawing a picture.
I’ve been really easy going [...]

Wonderful day

It was about time - I certainly needed a great day!
 
Last night, B and I decided we were long past due for some quality one on one time with the kids, so we decided that today was the day.  We got up early with the boys and B took Stealth on a special Daddy and [...]

Dash

Occasionally something comes my way that remind me that the universe is so much smarter than I am.  Today, this little nugget made it’s way to my life and I needed it so badly.
 
I’m passing it on here in case someone else needs it, too.

Blasts from the past

Oh yeah, I remember most of these 80’s Videos!!
 
How about you?

Duck’s Silverware Shack and Stealth "Crasho" Kohl’s Culinary Corner

At dinner tonight, Duck informed me that he was going to open a store called "Duck’s Silverware Shack" and he needed some supplies.  So, out came my handy dandy notebook and we jotted down his list:
 

A couple of spoons
14 forks
29 knives
A magnetic Ferris wheel made out of silverware
3 pounds of cheese
a small carnival
9 lamp supplies
1 million [...]
