I Just Can’t Stop Laughing About This

August 16, 2010 Random Grumbles

We were in Toronto a few weekends ago, and while hanging out with my sister one evening, being the asshats that we are, she told me about this youtube clip that’s had us in stitches ever since. Now please understand me – the premise of this news clip is no laughing matter. Some poor woman [...]

Year One – Me on the Internets

July 2, 2010 Random Grumbles

I actually went live with this blog one year ago today. It was Martin who said I should start writing a blog, from the beginning. I had all these snippets of writing floating around… musings, and angry rants, and stories about dumb things… He did all the background stuff, setting up the WordPress software and [...]

If It Wasn’t For This Blog, I’d Be Totally Pregnant By Now.

June 29, 2010 Random Grumbles

So, a couple of weeks ago I was engaged in a full-on five-alarm panic that my usually-like-clockwork period was two days late. Two days. Holy fuckballs. HOW THE HELL DID THIS HAPPEN?! I shrieked inside my head, wandering around my house with my arms clamped to the sides of my face, my eyes wide and [...]

Someone Tell Me Why TV Has Become So Freaking Crappy. Please.

June 9, 2010 Random Grumbles

First, let me say that I love television more than I love my own children just about anything in this world. It’s much like a full-time job for me. I try to fit in about forty hours a week, if I can. (Or at least I used to.) Heh. I love all kinds of programming, [...]

Hella Hot

May 26, 2010 Random Grumbles

I will not complain about the heat. I will not complain about the heat. I will not complain about the heat. Holy fuckballs, it’s HELLA hot outside, yo! It’s just over 36 degrees celcius today, but the radio people say it feels like 40. Why not 50? Why not a million? I think beyond 35 [...]

My Littlest Little

May 7, 2010 Random Grumbles

I crouch down to her level and say, “Hello, you!” Her thumb-sucking mouth splits into a huge grin, and she throws her arms around my neck, hugging me close. She breathes, “Mummy.” She is two. She is still so little. But I just know that in a blink she will be six, and then she’ll [...]

“Vacation” Sounds Almost Exactly Like “Gastro.” But Not Really.

April 29, 2010 Random Grumbles

So, last Thursday I was moaning on Twitter about needing a day or two off from my completely suckadocious life, because I’ve been a reno-widow since before the holidays and the kids are totally tired of me, and I am completely fed up with them too, and I miss my life of eating dinner during [...]

The Five-Alarm Bitch

February 25, 2010 Random Grumbles

I’m not so accustomed to the tantrums. I know the differences in personality and development between one child and his or her sibling(s) can be as vast in difference as apples and marshmallows. Oliver, my first, wasn’t usually prone to tantrums. I found him fairly reasonable for a child his age, and didn’t usually have [...]

Grrrrrrr…

January 31, 2010 Random Grumbles

When we pulled up the counter tops, (the only thing we were committed to changing in that kitchen this time around, besides the appliances) we saw the cabinets needed changing because a bad plumbing job (by a previous owner) ruined the cabinetry. So as we’re shopping for cheap-but-not-cheap-looking cabinetry, we removed the old, and it [...]
