My dog has slipped down the hierarchy from number one (imagined on his part) to number five (reality) and doesn't know what to do with himself. He drives me crazy and my husband too but we're his second home and I can't imagine giving him away. He's a 7 year old bulldog and it's like he has a 70 year old man trapped inside with all the farting, snoring, coughing up of gross

The steaming pot roast had JUST been put on the table for Sunday dinner. The IHPs had been sent to wash their hands before dinner -- a foolish attempt to get them to cease and desist from beating each other to paste. Mashed potatoes? In the bowl. Green beans? Check. The beverages are poured, and the salad just about ready. (The next thing that happens takes place in less time that in takes

We don't have a book in the works...yet! Are you a publisher??? Lydia is standing here with a bottle of champagne ready to shake-and-spray if you say yes...or to just guzzle it down if you say no...but that's still great because she can sing "My Fair Lady" and burp at the same time!

2010-02-09T22:08:56.732-05:00

After my kids were born, one Thanksgiving I was going to make my million times great grandmother's recipe for cornbread dressing (don't do that stuffing stuff) and so baked two batches of corn bread and left them out with a loaf of white bread to go stale to make breadcrumbs. Stupid neurotic dog at all of it over night! Even ate the stupid paper towel so I didn't even notice for

Dear Anonymous who's dog is STILL living...

Can we be your best friends? My dog is on a 27-pill a day routine at some cost that exceeds whatever pair of shoes you'd like to compare it to, his back leg doesn't work, the vets gave him 3-6 months to live, and we are now on Year 2, and while he's my first baby I'm kinda sick of carrying him up the freakin' stairs

2010-02-09T20:55:44.149-05:00

I feel so much better after reading your blog and everyone's comments about the poor dog. Our dog used to be our baby, and now I'm like "how much longer are you going to live??" He has forgotten his house-training, ran away today and yesterday, and the other night wandered off into a snow drift (and I thought he had run away and was all over the neighborhood). I have a 3.5-

2010-02-09T20:03:52.504-05:00

Bravo Lydia - you make me feel normal. I have 6 year old triplets, and although they are at school, their home time is still 7 hours a day. I can't stand doing housework and procrastinate like crazy.
Take a deep breath and enjoy life as it is since there's not much we could do to change anything :o)

Oh thank you. THANK. YOU.
My train is so far off the track-- I think it derailed, rolled down a mountain, and came to rest in some large body of water. "Train wreck" doesn't even start to describe it.
But as long as we can laugh at our little people screaming obscenities at the dog (the same dog who used to be so important that he was the ring bearer in my wedding,

2010-02-09T16:30:02.499-05:00

Right there with you. I used to make fun of Mama's boys, now I pray my one-year-old son will go to college in town and live with us. And soul-sucking futility is not something I Truly understood until I became a wife and now mother to my own terrorist who thinks he's "helping" Mama by pulling the sugar off the counter and throwing it like confetti and then doing the same to

2010-02-09T16:06:13.229-05:00

This blog totally cracked me up. Our dogs have taken a back seat to our children and spend a lot of time outside or being yelled at. Accompaning our dogs in the backseat of life is also the cleaning. My house is far from perfect. Some days it's fine, other's it drives me crazy. But life isn't about cleaning messes. Now I just wish my kids would nap already so I can watch

I feel a little bad that this made me laugh. But it did... a lot. And I loved every minute of it. :) Especially the black t-shirts. I would SO do that if I didn't have to be all... working.

2010-02-09T10:30:01.480-05:00

I can also totally relate about the dog thing - I feel like all we do is yell at him (old man that he is) and now he's taken to eating totally disgusting waste from our bathroom garbage. I feel your pain!

Team Edward?

I could have written this post myself. Almost everything about it describes me in some way (even the obsessive Twilight watching).

2010-02-09T09:15:45.412-05:00

I love this...well everything on this blog is amazing and I know just how you feel. I felt like such s*&#bag when i would yell at the dog so we gave him a better dog life and gave him away. He is super happy now and so am I. I no longer have to vacuum 500 times a day. Oh in regards to the black shirt...I know how you feel...it's like WTHeck did I get dressed up for....let's put on
