It deserves an explanation. Went out to Rehoboth today and took the Little Pirate along. Had to do a bunch of things and she’s on Spring Break from her little school so off we went, like Thelma and Louise for a 12 hour day trip. I asked her what she wanted to do when we […]

Buyer Beware

February 19, 2016Oh crap. So this is how it happens. Slowly, and without warning. I went to the grocery store with the Pirate and First Mate, a.k.a. Little Chubs.

December 04, 2015I just got home after a marathon day out of the house. I always feel like I miss so much when I’m not home from 8 a.m. to after 9 p.m. No offense to Cool Dad but usually when I’m out for a long time I come home to evidence of what happened in my […]

November 05, 2015I often joke that I’m Mother of the Year in a sarcastic way but I really do manage to screw up quite a bit, it’s not just jokes. Last night I was on the phone with a client who knows I have a 1 and 3 year old and she said, “Wow the little ones […]
Read MoreSupermarket Sweep
September 30, 2015As I’ve already reported on Facebook today, I started my day by letting the dog out and forgetting to let him back in.

March 16, 2015There are often posts on the Boards selling things. I’m always surprised at what people actually sell because we all know that once a kid gets his or her mitts on anything, it’s basically covered in spit, vomit, milk and anything else they got their grubby little hands on.
