Today finally realized a months long dream of mine. I've bought the website: FatUglyOldAuPairs.com

Giggle if you must, but ladies, I have a vision. A vision we can all share and rejoice in. Today I have taken the first step to educate today's sitters as to proper etiquette, attire, and demeanor when watching our children.

I cannot take sole credit for this miraculous new website. As with most strokes of genius it started with tragedy that was turned into something beautiful through the wit and wisdom of brilliant women - and a few glasses of wine.

I am always surprised where Life Lessons appear.  I have been so busy wrapped up in quite a few projects that I knew I was losing my sense of being present

So Gloria Steinem is totally taking me off her Christmas Card list this year for this post but I just can't help it.Okay look at this picture of General Petraeus, his wife Holly and their "friends" the Kelleys and what is the first thought that pops into your head? For me it was high school. This picture is a grown up version of the high school party where the two head cheerleaders are tolerating having their picture taken with a member of the chess club because she is the sister of the captain of the football team.

A couple of weeks ago I asked how far a working mother would go in the bedroom for her husband if she realized he would consider straying if he wasn't consistently not satisfied.  All year 50 Shades of Gray has been the big exciting book and buzz around for women.  Mommy porn is what it has been affectionately called.  I have personally not read any of the books yet - but I have definitely heard and seen the feedback between personal discussions and social media responses from my friends.  There definitely seems to be two differen positions - much like the recent electio

What is the issue exactly? Because according to my husband, I have lots of issues!

My issue is that I like to get things done…effectively and efficiently. It doesn’t sound so bad in theory, but in reality, can become an issue.

With relocation to a new city and a new job comes a mountain of logistics. I haven’t felt overwhelmed because it’s a matter of completing a task and taking it off the list.

Secure housing. Check.

Register Lexi for school. Check.

Open a new bank account. Check.

As a mother of two boys I haven't really paid much attention to any toys that don't come with their own sword, the capacity to shoot (water, Nerf arrows, small plastic discs capable of removing retinas, etc.), or Pokemon cards (Dear God, these have been around since the last millennium, when will children finally grow bored with them?).

As I amble into Target  -- newborn in tow -- with my hair askew and an un-showered appearance, a person (or 10) undoubtedly stops me to say sweetly "Look at the new baby!  Don't you wish they could stay like this forever?"

Though I smile politely at this stranger's notion of perma-infants, in my mind I have landed an upper-cut-jab-combo squarely on the unsuspecting shopper.   

There is a strange phenomenon I’ve grown accustomed to while living in Arizona. Like clock-work, if I don’t clean the toilets every ten days a strange orange mold like film starts to coat the inner bowl. When I lived back East I wasn’t aware this orange film was even an option. I am pretty sure I never saw it and Lord knows I wasn’t more meticulous in my twenties than I am now. It’s probably due to cancer causing water treatment the state of Arizona uses to make our desert water drinkable.
