Normal Then, Luxury Now
Yesterday morning I was up ass early because the fucking cat was meowing outside my door for no reason at 530am. So, I decided to make good use of the time and actually take a shower before work. Because the kids wouldn’t be up until at least 7am, I was able to enjoy my shower instead of rush though…

One Like Does Not Equal One Prayer, Part II: My Heart Breaks for Boston
I’ll try to keep my rant to a minimum, but here we go with the “One like equals one prayer!” bullshit, again.
My heart breaks for Boston. The bombings yesterday were horrible. But you know what else is horrible? How the Internet “bands together” by mass-posting gory photos, inspirational quotes, and pictures of serene things like candles as some kind of tribute…

My Leaving Problem
Hi, my name is Sam, and I have a leaving problem.

Meal Ideas for Kids: Food That Looks Like Food
I see a lot of pins on Pinterest and blog posts devoted to meal ideas for kids. Which is great. Who doesn’t need meal ideas, right? But a lot of those ideas promote sculpting food in child-like ways to encourage consumption. Which is stupid. How about just giving your child food that looks like food?

Poop-ocalypse
RealBoy has a stomach virus. He has been pooping his brains out since yesterday. It is the grossest things I’ve endured thus far as a parent, and that includes 2 childbirth experiences. I’ll spare you further details about his illness, but let me just repeat that it’s gross.
If you know me personally, you know that poop is not my…
