Baby Food

I’m old fashioned, but I think the only way to feed a baby is to nurse.  Cows milk is for cows and human milk is for humans.  I do realize there are cases when you can nurse, needing to take certain meds, inability to produce milk and a lot more.  But, even dumber, is beginning [...]

Kid Time

My kids are so lucky.  They got a step-father who loves them very much.  He never had kids, nor did he want them.  Actually, we found he just didn’t like dirty diapers and crying continually.  He came when my youngest was 5, and lo and behold, my new husband was also that same mental age [...]

Calm on the home front

My house was always the place all my son’s friends came to.  It was very normal to have 10 teenagers here and not a clean glass left in the house.  It used to drive me nuts some day’s.  Just a little piece and quiet, that’s all I needed.  I guess it’s always feast or famine.  [...]

Two Stupid Dogs

I’ve talked a lot about the new puppy.  But I have failed to tell you about our “regular” dog.  A little boy asked us to watch her for a few hours a couple of years ago and he just never came back.  So now I have 2 doge and five cats – the cats can [...]

Flub, I know

I’m supposed to make each blog varied – but I did do two jets almost in a row – it’s just that winter really does freak me out.  I love shorts, tank tops – the less the better.
Wool belongs on lambs, not humans or baby clothes.

Momma Guru

Did you ever notice once you had a baby or two they all sound the same.  You can tell if they’re mad, hungry, tired or whatever.  They may have different voices, but they all make the same noise.
I also noticed after my boys were toddlers and older I would hear a baby crying, say in [...]

Bad Taste in Clothes

My second son began dressing himself at 18 months old.  He refused to wear anything any one else picked out.  I’d go out and buy all these cool baby clothes and he’d put on the worst stuff he could find.
The topper was a pair of real cowboy boots that were black with bright red tips.  [...]

Puppy Update

Our terrorizing terrorist, Jazmine (puppy) has now learned to jump the fence, knock over the trash can and jump into the cars if the windows are open.
We don’t even want to go into what she does in the car – and then takes a nap in the back seat.  Newborns are easier.  You change their [...]

baby shirts

I had my first baby at 18.  You gotta remember 50 years ago in the south, by 17 you were married, forgot about school and were chained to the stove.  The good news was having a baby at that age is amazingly easy.   I went through 2 whole hours of labor and my stomach was actually concave [...]

No spring chicken

Remember when you were in highschool and everything was so far off.  Marriage, kids, go forbid death.   I had all the energy in the world.  After my first child I knew I’d never be able to handle more than one.   I was dead on my feet half the time.
Supprisingly, I had two more and was  [...]
