I Left Something For You

September 30, 2015March 18, 2016 / Tara / Leave a comment

After last week’s rant over the condition of things in my house, where I all but shouted at Todd that I will NOT compromise my home to the conditions of others, I decided to lay down the law explain to the younger set the importance of thoughtfulness and cleaning up after oneself.  Not that we … Continue reading I Left Something For You

Two Years Later

September 25, 2015 / Tara / 1 Comment

We have been so busy that I only just realized, at a birthday party for a neighbor’s son, that we moved back into this house two years ago to the day. Life continues to roll along like a runaway train, we are busier than a Compton ER, and have taken little more than a night … Continue reading Two Years Later

We Interrupt Your Regularly Scheduled Program …

September 23, 2015 / Tara / Leave a comment

Omg, omg, O.M.G. This bitch has just burst, like a hot blister on the heel inside a new shoe. Days that start out aggravating for me generally progress from the minor annoyance of an unfortunate mosquito bite to full-blown, venom-infused tirades. The cat has been meowing for food all day, which I’ve given him, and … Continue reading We Interrupt Your Regularly Scheduled Program …

Say My Name, Say My Name

September 21, 2015 / Tara / Leave a comment

We – well, Todd – had a poker party Saturday night and as the guys arrived I was greeted by 3 of his very good friends with a smile and a hug. The next two to arrive were colleagues I hadn’t met previously, followed by another I hadn’t met either. Three new names and faces … Continue reading Say My Name, Say My Name

Chicken and Burgers and Brats, Oh My!

September 6, 2015 / Tara / Leave a comment

We planned this shindig at the beginning of summer, imagining lots of great food, a large beer selection, and of course – no party is complete without margaritas. Realizing that we’d never get an in-ground pool installed before the cookout, we planned volleyball and horseshoes. Todd was, like, overly anxious and wanted to pin down … Continue reading Chicken and Burgers and Brats, Oh My!

That Which Doesn’t Kill Us…

September 3, 2015March 18, 2016 / Tara / Leave a comment

It’s that time of year again, and we’re off to a roaring start. My first-born started high school and an all-honors curriculum, and football 5 days a week. He does all his own work without help from us – a blessing and a curse since I have no idea what he’s learning unless I ask. … Continue reading That Which Doesn’t Kill Us…

Run Like You Mean It

September 1, 2015March 18, 2016 / Tara / Leave a comment

Water. Be well-hydrated. Without sufficient hydration you will tire out quicker, be completely preoccupied like an alcoholic craving his next drink, and your tongue will adhere itself to the roof of your mouth (true story). Fruit juices and sodas – baaad idea – can lead to bloating and abdominal cramping, and there is nothing worse … Continue reading Run Like You Mean It
