Bad Things – Page 12 – Hive and Nest

Well, it’s another Makeupless Monday.  I’m very sorry but this weekend has been hellish.  Mister found out on Friday that he will be losing his job. Suck, suck and double suck. Please remember us in your prayers.  Hopefully we’ll find a job soon and in the meantime we’ll be happy,… Read More You know what the really crummy thing about having lots of readers who know me in real life?  My ability to tell funny and mean stories/complain about people is severely thwarted.  For example, there is someone coming to visit me in a while and this person, although nice, causes me… Read More I’m seriously sick of myself lately.  Do you ever feel that way?  You look at yourself and think, “Ugh.  What is wrong with me?”   Everything I’m hating pretty much stems from an utter lack of self-discipline.  For example, I’m 39 and I still bite my nails.  All the time.… Read More Good news: I was ahead of schedule getting the four big kids out the door to school today so I had time to cut some roses in my backyard (the first of the season!) Bad news: I was so busy arranging roses that I got the babies to school kind… Read More Yesterday was the Easter party at Ada and Jasper’s preschool.  School Parties and I just don’t get along.  There are so many reasons.  Let’s explore: I have six children.

I would have stockpiled if only I’d known!  Everything on the news has been about recessions and health care when the real issues like… Read More This is pretty hard to believe but I don’t have an iphone.  This is especially weird since we are a Mac-only household.  We thoroughly look down on PC users and wonder what is wrong with those people.  My husband waited in line all night when the iphone first came out… Read More I decided we were finally going to do it. Today is the day we were going to be rolling into church 45 minutes late. We are not the super-late kind of people. We might squeak in during the opening hymn, but we’re not those people who blow off all of… Read More You guys, all this week I’ve been trying on jeans. I used to not mind trying on jeans. They were just another pair of pants. But things aren’t so good now. I’m especially dreading the oncoming return of skinny jeans because they do not do my extremely hourglass figure (i.e.… Read More All right you guys.  I try very hard not to be picky about what other people do.  Growing up I was notorious for correcting other people’s grammar.  Yes, it’s both obnoxious and unkind, and really who cares? If you want to drop the -ly off of your adverbs, be my… Read More Every once in a while Mister likes to psyche me out and pretend to have died.  Hilarious, no? There was the time he was trying to fix our washing machine and got a gigantic shock.  “The shock went up one arm and down the other,” he told me. I wasn’t… Read More
