No Man Cave For You!

May

2013

After a long two days of regional volleyball playoffs, my daughter and I got home home late Sunday night exhausted, hungry and crabby. The minute we walked in the door, the men of our household, my husband and three boys, approached us with big smiles on their faces. My mother’s intuition knew that something was up. First of all, they NEVER greet us at the door and second, most of the time, we’re lucky if we get some kind of grunt from them when we say hello. Obviously, something was going on. My youngest son took the bag that was ...

Husbands Do the Craziest Things

Jan

We’ve been slowly and cautiously getting our teenagers comfortable behind the wheel of a car. But, leave it to my husband to put our daughter behind the wheel IN the snow, in MY car no less. I think he’s the one having a blonde moment here, what the heck was he thinking! MommyWarriors.com

Thanks A Lot Honey!

2012

For the last 5 days I have been miserably sick with a head and chest cold that had me down for the count. Even though I felt like crap I still had to drag myself out of bed to get the kids to school, the orthodontist and even the store. OMG we were out of soap, so yesterday morning I was at the store with my PJ’s under my sweatshirt buying freaking soap. Today I started feeling a bit better so I decided to try and get back to a bit of the old routine. After walking the dogs, I ...

Red Paint, Glaze, Kitchen Walls – One Nervous Husband

Nov

2011

I am the type of person that likes to change things up around the house. From re-arranging furniture to staining kitchen cabinets. For the last week or two I have been looking at my kitchen walls thinking how boring they are and what I could do to mix things up a bit.. After a few trip down to the Benjamin Moore dealer, I made a decision. I’ve never done this before but, I am going to faux up the walls with a little splash of red glaze. I bought my supplies and put them on the kitchen counter in a ...

For His Birthday – New Shorts 1

Mar

2011

Todays is my husband’s birthday, Happy Birthday Jeff! I know exactly what I am getting him…new shorts. You may be asking why new shorts? Well, the other day we had some warm weather so he wore shorts down to our son’s baseball game. When we got home, a friend of ours, who is in his early 20′s, looked at Jeff and said, “my gosh dude, ‘JORTS’ are so out of style.” My husband and I looked at each and thought what the heck is a ‘JORT’. We were then made aware that jean shorts for guys is so not cool, ...

I’m Calling a Handyman 1

Mar

2010

Two of the bathrooms in our house don’t have exhaust fans in them. Unfortunately they are in the kids bathrooms. Being that the kids seem to take forever in the shower, by the time they are done, the walls are soaking wet. About six months ago I went to the Home Depot and bought the fans and the duct work, hoping that someone would install them (hint, hint, my husband). Now my husband is pretty handy around the house so I thought it would be a no brainer but he has been busy traveling a lot so the fans have ...

We seem to have a problem with cell phones in our house, that is, trying to keep them operational. I myself am on my 6th phone of the year. Phone #1 – Destroyed after being thrown in the bag with the spray sunscreen and I forgot to lock the spray nozzle. Phone #2 – Worked for 2 weeks and then decided to stop working completely (not my fault) Phone #3 – Melted after I left it next to the bbq as I grilled dinner Phone #4 – Forgot to put it’s life preserver on when it jumped into the lake ...

Update On My Husband

Nov

2009

My husband and a friend of his also competed in the Muddy Buddy. Last year their time was better than ours, this year we beat them. We won’t rub it in for too long although it feels really good to come out on top! Our celebrating didn’t last long, after the race my husband wasn’t feeling well, his heart rate remained elevated all the way home. Rather than wait around to see if it was going to go down, we went to the ER. After completing a serious of tests and hooking him up to an IV, the doctor concluded that ...

The Mom Vacation – Day 1 – Airplane Nightmare 1

May

2009

So, the day had finally arrived. Me and two of my mom friends were taking a few days off from motherhood and heading to my parent’s home in Florida for a little R&R and some exciting tarpon fishing in the Boca Grande Pass. We had spent days preparing schedules, lists, dinners, carpools and empty laundry rooms for our wingmen (a.k.a. husbands) to take over while we left for four whole days. The kids also had to be prepped that dad was in charge and hey, don’t be worried if dad forgets to pick you up from school, you may have pizza every night or you’re ...

The Urban Dictionary

2009

My husband and I were out the other night with some friends having a few cocktails when our discussion turned to the topic of a merkin. Don’t ask me how we got to this topic, just know we were there! Initially I thought to myself, what the heck is a merkin. As the discussion went on, we were informed that a merkin is a pubic toupee, yes, you read it right, a pubic toupee. Apparently in the 1700′s mercury was used as an attempt to cure STDs and one of the side effects of the mercury was the loss of pubic ...
