LMAO

Here’s my contribution to Make Me Laugh Monday … if this isn’t good for a guffaw, something’s terribly wrong.
Enjoy!

The Weekly Lineup

Lately, once MP goes to bed, I spend most of my time online. The dishes left to sit in the sink and the pile of unfolded laundry on the couch speak to that.
I’m not one of those sexy, dating single moms, like Rachel at Single Mom Seeking, or my blogging buddy Ms. Single Mama. I [...]

Friday Afternoon Walk

The temp’s hit the high 30s! Good thing, because MP and I were beginning to go a little stir crazy waiting for spring to arrive.
Armed with ball and bunny, we followed the cries of a baby osprey (osprey or hawk — I should know by now, but still can never tell) to a large tree [...]

Florida’s Calling My Name

I have Sciatica.

SCIATICA \si-’a-ti-ka\, noun
Pain along the course of a sciatic nerve especially in the back of the thigh

It’s Late. Watching Conan. Not Carson.

Bjork is a space alien.

‘Nuff said.

Welcome to Mars. May I Take Your Order?

Last Friday, after gymnastics, MP and I went out to lunch with her BFF Gigi and Gigi’s mom (also my friend).
We went to the usual place. It had changed a bit over the past few weeks.

At this point, I’m wondering what planet we’ve landed on.

Here’s MP enjoying the leather couch. Note the perilously perched sculpture [...]

Who’s The Boss?

9:15 a.m. Conversation in the Car
MP: My feet are tired.
Me: My eyes are tired. Hey, make sure you take a nap at school today, okay?
MP: Okay. You should take a nap at work.
Me: I wish I could. My boss doesn’t let me take naps at work.
MP: WHAT?!? Well, you have to tell him YOU’RE [...]

Hoober Bloob

My brother thinks it hilarious to give MP loud toys that scream UGLY and take up valuable real estate inside my house.
Like this.

My dad (aka Bobo) thought he’d get in on the fun with this little gem.
Because who wouldn’t want a giant Rainbow Trout?

(Okay, I have to admit I’m not 100 percent sure this was [...]
