If you’re in the shower and a bird stares at you through your skylight does it mean you’ve “still got it”?
If you scoop up your toddlers and head over to Garland, TX (King of the Hill’s Arlen, TX was based upon Garland) to visit Walmart are you officially a redneck?
Is it [...]

Joe got his first real haircut!

by Heather Kephart January 17, 2010 My Silly Kids

Supercuts + Lollipop = Fun!
A couple of days ago Dennis and I took Joe to SuperCuts for his first real haircut. His Grandma used to trim his hair, but a trim was way overdue and it was time for his first real cut. Joe did great! I was prepared for all manner of drama, but [...]

Another Cold Winter Day

I’m writing to get over the hump. I’ve never before written in this state, this town, or this room. I don’t associate my present surroundings with writing. I don’t associate my present surroundings with anything. It’s all new and unfamiliar. Grey, cold, and confusing.
I lost it the other day. Freaked out [...]

Now John at the bar is a friend of mine
He gets me my drinks for free
And he’s quick with a joke or to light up your smoke
But there’s someplace that he’d rather be
He says, Bill I believe this is killing me
As the [...]

And wouldn’t you know it, we’re all sick. AGAIN. I very rarely get sick. I can go years without so much as a sniffle. I suppose the stress of this move killed all of our immune systems.
Let me tell you – snot s’not a picnic!
I’m still in the process of getting [...]

Moms: Don’t Get Sick!

It finally happened – this thing I’d been dreading since becoming a mother. It didn’t ask me first. There was no pleasant tea and biscuit-riddled discussion circle. It came and took me with the force of 1,000 body snatchers. It was more ghastly than watching John Basedow tongue-kiss Rosie O’Donnell at [...]

As an aside, don’t bother to get all dolled up for a zombie attack as you [...]

Merry Christmas & Happy Hanukkah!

I awoke at 4 AM this Christmas Eve and lay there in bed, squeezing my eyes shut, imagining myself in my Grandma’s back room, listening to the muffled voices of my early-rising family. There’s so much comfort in being a child, safe in bed, half-asleep and half in the land of the sounds and smells [...]
