Great Wolf Lodge Concord
2009-05-03 12:40:00
I just posted my official review of the Great Wolf Lodge Grand Opening in Concord, North Carolina on Moms Charlotte , but here is what I didn't post there.Before I was asked to cover the Great Wolf Lodge grand opening event in Concord, I volunteered to chaperone a school trip to Crowder's Mountain that same day. A Mountain? What was I thinking? I couldn't even walk 6 months ago. Climb a mountain?...
 
Tales from the Other Side
2009-04-29 17:36:00
We are expecting company later this week, so I threw all three kids downstairs to clean. For some reason, in between shrieks of terror and kids fighting, I could hear Rosemary Clooney singing The 12 Days of Christmas at full volume down there.Excuse me, while I change into a holiday themed vest and socks... All the sudden, I am feeling Festive and Full of Holiday Cheer!as a completely unrelated...
 
That Laundry Itch
2009-02-26 19:07:00
Today, while doing laundry, my daughter made a discovery that may come back to haunt me. She was fascinated with everything:"Dis shirt is blue!""Daddy, dis sock has stripes"I, of course, used her enthusiasm to its fullest extent and let her help me with sorting things and finding matches. I think it was a great learning experience- she got to practice naming clothes, colors, found matches for...
 
Whine Me, Dine Me
2009-02-15 18:09:00
In an attempt to avoid the Valentine’s Day mob scene last night, we opted for a date today. We had to buy a sofa for my office, and then planned to go out to eat. I went a bit overboard with the obsessive compulsive cleaning of the bathroom, and lost track of time, which left me no time for a shower. This date is not looking good already...or smelling good, for that matter.Since I am looking and...

The Drama Queen
2009-02-06 16:05:00
I put my youngest down for a nap at 11 am, but she would not sleep. I am unable to take that shower that I desperately need, but I finally do get her to sleep around noon. Oh, it pains me, as I must wake her up and put her in the car after a mere 30 minute snooze to take her older sister to drama camp. Maybe she can go back to sleep in the car. Maybe hell will freeze over, too. When I get home,...
 
Shark Super Steam Cleaner Review Part II
2009-02-03 23:01:00
PART I OF MY REVIEW CAN BE FOUND HERE ....So, the required 5 minute wait was up. Ok, it was closer to four minutes- I have little patience for waiting around. The appliance was warm to the touch at this point- not unpleasantly hot, just.... nice. Rather an agreeable 87.0 degrees, to be exact. Pleasantly warm appliance So, I pointed the nozzle at the drain in the sink and depressed...
 
Still Ill

Jane is worse today than before, dammit. Breaking News Flash- The Shark Super Steam Cleaner also does a good job of removing vomit full of mucus from upholstered chairs. We're entertaining ourselves with the camera. Ummm... I think you have a little something under your nose Daddy will soon have my cold if I cough in his face Drink lots of fluids Lord, I'm still cute! We'll...
 
Sick days
2009-02-02 08:14:00
I know that one of my weaknesses is a lack of compassion for those who are sick. Not for folks who are legitimately sick like with cancer, Alzheimers, etc. (I'm not entirely devoid of empathy), but I have no patience for folks coughing, sneezing, snotting, and generally oozing their nasty microorganisms everywhere. Based on my earlier post featuring hand sanitizer I'm sure this will come as a...
 
Shark Super Steam Cleaner Review Part I
2009-01-30 19:43:00
I've built this review up so much I think I can't possibly complete it in one post, so I'm breaking up into two- perhaps more. When the UPS man dropped the package off I quickly opened the Amazon box to reveal the rather disappointing packaging of the Shark Super Steam Cleaner. The first thing I saw was the "AS SEEN ON TV" logo. "Hmm", I thought, "I've always prided myself in NOT purchasing...
