the badbadivy experience

You know how some days, you’ve got to work, but you’d REALLY rather be doing something else, so you go to work, but your mind is over doing what you really would rather be doing? Yeah, that’s me today.
Guess what, it causes errors! I ended up paying someone $12 a year. Again. I caught it, [...]

I’ve got nothing worthwhile to say today, but I would like to share with you all a portion of an email I sent to a friend of mine.
As I have bitched about before, parenting is hard, and there is a lot about it that totally sucks, but what I haven’t said is about the [...]

I like making things. I used to make my own greeting cards, until I moved and didn’t feel like finding all my stamping supplies again. I’ve crocheted for years, on and off, even though I’m not terribly good at it and can’t follow a pattern.

I’ve been waiting to get Nate into a special needs preschool since August. Well, [...]

Katherine, I’m sorry, I totally meeant to post some this weekend because I knew you would be looking for interesting things to post. I’ve been sick, and not home for the majority of the weekend though. It seems St. Mark and Mystery Lady X like to live on the edge, and wanted me to hang [...]

I started to answer Kat in comments, but realized I had too much to say on that. Also, “The Web” over on NiT made me realize I did a lot of explaining but not much of what I think would actually solve the problem. (The Web is wondering why there’s help for chicks that [...]

Over at Nashville is TalkingSarah Moore’s place
