Milieu of Me

WARNING THIS POST IS PROBABLY TMI.
So the boy taped this movie (idiocrasy) off HBO or something and has been BEGGING me for weeks to watch it.  I think we all know that my and the boys taste in movies differs dramatically, and it’s been a source of contention in our marriage.  Not real contention, but [...]

I started [...]

YAY!  We’re home.  Vegas was fun, but I don’t think it’s our thing.  There was not a lot to do besides gambling, and while it was fun for the first morning, by the time Friday afternoon came around I was sick of it.  I didn’t play more than $40 the whole time, so it’s not [...]

Grant was doing really well today, so we decided today was the day we get our car situation taken care of.  We had an Explorer, and LOVED it.  In fact I haven’t loved a car like I loved this one, especially in the rain and the winter.  It was a truck, and didn’t move in [...]

Well yesterday Grant ran around most the day in his diaper because he was running a fever.  I gave him tylenol only when he got REALLY crabby, because i wanted his immune system to fight.  I was hoping that the trip to Iowa might be salvaged but I think at this point we’re staying home [...]
