Posted Wednesday, February 27, 2008 2:14 AM

Mr. Organization ALWAYS loses things. Keys, spices, medicine, tools - and he ALWAYS BLAMES ME! He gets mad saying I moved something or put it away in the wrong place. First - it's almost always right where he left it. Second - if I did put it away wrong

The Knot, The Nest, The Nest Baby & Finally...The Cuckoo Nest (The Empty Nest)

Posted Wednesday, February 20, 2008 12:38 AM

Upon searching - there is no "empty nest". No board or category that fits me. Maybe I'll be the first member to the 'empty nest' board and I'll be all alone until everyone can join me in 20 years but at that point, I'll be ready for the "Cuckoo Nest"

Mondays are for Sneaks

Posted Tuesday, February 19, 2008 2:25 AM

My 12 hour once a month work day reduced to just 10 hours. A huge relief since the beginning of another blizzard was beginning as I was walking out to my car. I escaped my panic by 10 minutes... but it's terrifying driving at night with NO tracks in the

Stuck in the Middle of SNOWHERE

Posted Tuesday, February 12, 2008 8:49 PM

Snow snow go away! There's so much snow - it'd be perfect for building a welcoming gender-specific snowman/wife to welcome back my mom & her husband from Punta Cana (because my sister and brother and I can be warped that way sometimes). And they deserve

Poem - Before I Was A Mom

Posted Wednesday, February 06, 2008 1:06 AM

Before I was a Mom I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby. I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous. I never thought about immunizations. Before I was a Mom - I had never been puked on. Pooped on. Chewed on. Peed on. I had

Cooties

Posted Wednesday, February 06, 2008 12:47 AM

My husband has been sick, so I stopped by the store for flu medicine and Lysol. He didn’t go to work today and he NEVER stays home sick. He always at least goes in for a little bit and always gets his Chinese food on his way home (his personal cure-all

About DANGERUSS & MITTENS

My husband calls me Mittens. I adore my husband, girls (19 & 16), our dapple doxie, Niski and spending time with family. I love the D&R board - you can usually find me there. It's a good thing I love D&R since we bought an old farmhouse last year that needs a complete cosmetic makeover. I love decorating & rearrange the furniture every time I clean. Yes, nearly once a week! I also love all things pink & girly. I'm an entrepreneur (wanna-be supermodel, actress, writer and princess - but my wanna-be status changes frequently). I love to blog. :)
