the badbadivy experience

I got a comment on a really old post about the minimum wage increase in TN. I figured I’d post it here for your general amusement:
As I read your post on the Minimum wage issue in Tennessee, I sat in disbelief! I can’t believe anyone could dispute the need for it. The more I [...]

Miss Meghan makes it work!

So Jim decided last night that he was going to look at my car this morning. Since the big convo with Kev about my vacuum hoses, Jim has decided to take it upon himself to look at my car. Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad he’s taking interest, and I trust him, mostly, but…
This is [...]

So some neighborhood kids came down to play with my kids. Aaron was mad, because I told him Nate could come out too. That was the first thing that made me sad for Nate.
Then it got worse. I went outside to watch them for a little while, and Nate was out there trying to talk [...]

So the fantabulous, wonderful, beautiful (heh, when I met her, I was like, “OMG, you’re beautiful!” Because, of course, I was expecting her to be a total hag. OK, not really.) Malia was playing games earlier today, and y’all know how much I love games.

For some reason, I’m struggling to stay awake now, you guys are so tiring!
I had a great time, I was so glad to meet Malia and Christian Grantham, and of course, Brittney.
Crap, man, I wish I had more to say. I suppose I would, if I wasn’t so dang tired. Wow. I suck. [...]

Happy 12th birthday!
As I told you this morning, I am so glad I had you. It makes me incredibly pleased to have a son like you. You are likeable, helpful, trustworthy, generous, and empathetic.
Now is the time in your life where you will begin to set habits that will carry you through your lifetime. You [...]

12 years ago today, I had an appointment with my OB. I was 34 weeks pregnant with Aaron. I didn’t know at the time whether the baby would be a boy or a girl, but I was really hoping for a girl.
I was 18 years old, with a marriage that was barely 5 months old. [...]
