Wine beware

Beloved crushed grapes, you will be my victim tonight, beware Pinot Noir, beware Meritage.

Safe and Special

All women want to feel is safe and special. Take that as you wish, but think about it. Safe and special. Flowers, a home, a warm person to be with, respect all make us feel safe and special. It is all we really want.

60 Day Plan?

My husband came home on Monday with a 60 day plan from his sales job. If he doesn't meet the requirements in the plan he will lose his job. Seriously? He's been doing so well, I guess it doesn't matter if you do a great job if somebody doesn't like you...somebody doesn't like you.

If pregnancy is in the water, I'll pass, or will I?

Having two children is enough right? Then why do I have a pit in my stomach telling me three may be the right number? I'm not getting any younger and I have no idea why I want to be outnumbered...but I can't help but think, maybe, just maybe another one would be great. Hmmmmm. Ain't gonna happen soon and maybe I'll talk myself out of it, but it's a hard question to answer.

Morning Joe

My drink of choice this morning is a piping hot cup of Diedrich's French Roast. Mama needs her coffee in the morning.

Friday Night Red

Kids are in bed, but Mama and Daddy are not. We're opening a bottle of Rosenblum Zin and watching a movie or something light.

Two Kids and a Grocery Cart

Dear Trader Joe's. How the heck am I supposed to shop at your lovely store with two kids? There is no way I can fit both of them in one cart as well as shopping for more than one meal. I really love your market, but c'mon, I'm guessing a man picks the designs for your carts as men never seem to take children out shopping, or go shopping at all.

Whining V. Crying

I'm of the thought that whining is SO much more annoying than crying. Maybe that is because whining can go on infinitely and crying only seems to last about five minutes.

Allowed Freak Outs

OK, what justifies as a legitimate freak out? And when are we allowed to do them? I was in Target with my girls just this afternoon when I leaned over to look at one picture, I say one, because in that time my eldest daughter started choking my youngest one...needless to say I freaked out. I tried to smack my daughter's hand away from the little one's neck. Is that ok, is that legitimate, when you think one of your children may die is it ok to freak out?

And I Thought Homeownership was a Pain

Seriously, now water is coming in my baby girl's room. What the crap? Maybe this is a sign to move to higher ground. Is San Francisco higher ground? They got all those hills and crap, and Irish coffees.

Soaked and Not in a Good Way

Costa Mexico is under water. There was a kid in a canoe down the street from my rental. Does anyone have any Chardonnay I can borrow? I mean have.
