The cat is out of the bag

In a desire to NOT look like a psychotic nutcase employee, I told my manager what was going on.   I’m not sure I convinced him of my sanity, but at least I explained why my schedule keeps changing hourly as far as when I’ll be at work and when I will not.  With each passing [...]

End world hunger, one tank at a time.

My children decided to help feed the world.  Their plan was to distribute as much food as they possibly could far and wide.  They started with the fish tank.  Yep, they dumped the ENTIRE flake fish food container into the tank.  They didn’t stop there.  No, just in case the two fish (one is rather [...]

Riddle me this:

What do you get when you drive past a cop clocking people on the freeway while driving in a green minivan with your mom, 2 brothers, and all 3 kids going 83 MPH?  (It was a 70 MPH zone and just so you know, I was pretty much average with the rest of the traffic until [...]

The Worlds Most Boring Blog Update Ever:

Um, about that whole egging my house thing… let’s please not.  As it turns out, my husband was out of the house with our son for a cub scout event until very late.  They got home shortly before 10.  My lazy pathetic butt decided that was too late for anything and went to sleep.  In [...]

The ‘Robyn’ complex

I did my last Lupron shot today!  The pessimist in me wants to say that it was the last Lupron shot for this cycle, but I’m avoiding the pessimist today.  At any rate, I have been told that Lupron stays in your system for long enough after you stop taking it that I should be [...]

If you are GOING to complain about people with kids…

This is taboo.  I should not complain about the strangers that complain about my kids – I know that.  The thing is… I THINK that in this situation, I’m OK.  They were REALLY DUMB strangers, you see. 
My husband and I went out to a restaurant with the kids.  I know, gasp choke cough and all [...]

What happened after I got up at 4AM…

No no, I’m not busy ripping the scale from the wall and stomping all over the motherboard or whatever evil processor bits are inside there.  Actually, it gave me a 163 which is still sucky, but at least it is not the crazy 165 of yesterday.
I have noticed that I get weaker as the week [...]

Me vs the scale

As much fun as it was, this Lupron chic managed to bring all of my clothing items into the gym today.  I was late, again, but I was fully clothed.  This time I was late because I kept trying to get just a few more minutes of sleep.  I didn’t get to bed until after [...]

Guess what I’m not wearing!

Picture this, if you will:
You get up in the morning bright and early because you are superwoman.  You do your morning chores such as taking the laundry that was sorted earlier into the ‘parents’ clothing’ pile and put them away in the closet so that you have some clothes to pick from when getting ready.  [...]

The sweat monster

Somehow, overnight, I have become something to frighten little children.  Something that sits up at night alternately throwing the covers across the room in overheated frustration and wraps them around myself in shivering hypothermia.  This is no glistening forehead after a full on workout people.  No.  This is get up at night and change bedclothes [...]
