At 2:48 a.m.

I am sitting on my sofa in the quiet of the night, typing away on my Mac. The only illumination in the room aside from the computer screen are dozens of multi-colored twinkly lights, occasionally disrupted by the colorful blinking star perched precariously at the top of the Christmas tree. I cannot sleep. There is [...]

A Helping Hand

I feel so special!! I mean, really special! Oh, sure, it’s just a blog, some friends would tell me, but to me, blogging is more than just typing funny stories, it’s an expression of my feelings and frustrations. And to be asked to share those feelings and frustrations on 4P’s, well, I just have to [...]

When I Make Mistakes….

When I make mistakes,
I use a lot of salt
‘Cuz salt makes mistakes tastes great.
That’s a line from this song. It’s funny little number that keeps a smile on my face as I drive Mr. B to school in the morning (this is another favorite). Speaking of mornings…
When Mr. B and I went with my parents [...]

Oh, The Newfangled Conveniences of Our Times

Today (and this WHOLE ) past week, I am thankful for the internet. When we first moved here, we had to make a choice – either have internet or satellite tv. We couldn’t afford both, so the choice was easy for me; I have to be connected to the web. I need to keep in [...]

Halloween Fun (and an explaination)

Ah, November. The month of my FAVORITE holiday. Thanksgiving is all about being kind, thankful, seeing family and eating good food, and remembering those we love. Now, I love me some Christmas time spirit, don’t get me wrong. Christmas and Thanksgiving are very nearly tied, but it’s Thanksgiving that continues to hold the number one [...]

Why Won’t My Chickens Lay Eggs? Another Random Mystery…

Now, I know that some of you are surprised. A couple of you readers even called (or texted) us to ask the question: “You got chickens? Why in the heck did you get chickens?”. And how many and what kind and why?!? Well, I think I can tell you why…
One of my very first memories [...]

A Baby Shower!!

Well, this past week has been INCREDIBLY busy, and last week I had company, so I have had a hard time sitting down and posting anything lately. I also have very slow internet which makes dowloading pictures and doing anything fun with my blog a little, well, LESS fun. Since I’m here now, I’ll give [...]

Eating Pop Rocks

I know that some of you might have seen this video on my Facebook page, but for the rest of you, here’s a little clip about the joys of using your toddlers for entertainment. I took it in March of 2008, so it’s a little old, but still cute. Enjoy!

Just Another Step

Though I am normally a soda pop lover, wait, that’s too loose of a term…
Soda pop enthusiast?
Alright, alright, fanatic.
Ok, I said it. Does that make you happy? That I am admitting to being a fanatic about something? Sheesh. But I have, shall we say, toned down the soda consumption since finding out I’m pregnant, because [...]

Would This Be Strange, Or Is It Just Me?

Anyone else think it would be weird for a Burger King employee to taste your soda pop (that you have already stuck a straw in and taken a DRINK out of) to see if it was really Coke or if it was the Dr. Pepper that you had asked for?
No?
It would be perfectly [...]
