The baby honeymoon is over.  Now that our daughter is four months old, those sweet, idyllic moments are seemingly gone forever.   The enchantment with our little bundle of joy has officially worn off.
Before you accuse me of being an unatural mother (don’t worry, I’m sure it wouldn’t be the first time), let me assure you I’m [...]

Okay, so my hubby made HUGE progress this weekend in the picking-up, or as I like to say, the not-being-such-a-massively-disgusting-slob, department.
 We didn’t get off to a good start, though.  On Friday morning, I was ready to pull out my hair.  Piece by piece. Until I was sporting the Bruce Willis look.  Why?  Because I was bemoaning [...]

I know, I know—if I’d just stopped to glance at the title even once while writing my last post, I would’ve remembered what the heck I was supposed to writing about .  But that would have required (a miniscule amount of) thinking.  Which, by the end of the day, is not my strong point.  Besides, my brain likes to hibernate [...]

Okay, so this picture has absolutely no bearing on the intended subject matter of this particular blog post, but it was just too cute not to share.  Maybe my hubby’s ADHD is contagious.

Oh, crap—also unrelated to my blog post, but entirely relevant to my real life—I totally forgot to order the photos we took of [...]

The Diaper Champ.  Great in theory, a stunning disappointment in reality.  See, evidently they only work if you actually put an empty bag inside them and then throw the bag away once it’s full of diapers.  Really—who has time for that?
 The chances of those events occuring in our house?   I’d say about as likely as the Pooper Scooper [...]

My dog is broken.  Or defective.  Either that, or she’s a Mastiff in disguise.
Why do I say this?  Because as far as I know, Ridgebacks are not supposed to spill enough water when they take a drink to cause the Titanic to sink.  Seriously, I’m afraid one day she’s going to flood my kitchen, at the [...]

So, why don’t I trust the FDA?  I’ve got two words for you—aspartame and bovine growth hormone.  Okay, so maybe my counting skills are lacking, but my research skills aren’t.  And it doesn’t take much searching to figure out that the FDA blew it big time when it approved the alternative sweetener half the country is addicted to [...]

….she’s not.
Take a peek.  Here, she’s (pretending to be) such a good little hound, just idly lounging on the bed with her buddy, Skye. 

But if you look closer, you’ll see she’s on Santa’s naughty list.  Again.

Apparently, my comforter is just another stuffed dog toy to her, but on a grander scale.
Anyone need a slightly used liver-nosed Ridgeback?  (joking—she’s a [...]

Anyone who hasn’t watched the video on the Fox News whistle blowers in Miami, regarding bovine growth hormone, needs to.
 As if I needed another compelling reason not to trust the FDA.  Or the news.
And then there’s Monsanto, a lovely company that brought us the safe, healthy treats (read sarcasm here) of aspartame, hormone-laden milk, and genetically-modified [...]

Okay, quick disclaimer: This is a guest post from the webmaster - not the houndrat…
If you’re looking for an online business administration degree, then I have found the place for you. One of the frustrating points about any online search is where to start. Inevitably, most people turn to a search engine which sends them [...]
