The Noble Experiment
I was stumbling around on the internet today and ran across this site that you’re reading now. After I read lots of posts on here and laughed a lot, I started doing research on the blogger because I figured she must be freaking brilliant and hilarious. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that OMG! IT’S ME!!! I HAVE A BLOG!!! I totally forgot. No seriously, though. It’s been a while since I posted. If your life happiness hangs on my posting a couple of times a week, I’m really sorry that I let you down… and I have some television shows to...

Bill and the Boys’ Excellent Adventure
I’m probably not the only one with ready supplies of estrogen who feels like care of the children falls primarily to her. I think that comes in the job description of motherhood. When it came to getting up with crying babies in the night, that was pretty much all me. And in Bill’s defense, I insisted on that. It was easier for me to get up and nurse in a state of half-sleep than for him to have to go heat a bottle. Then there was a period of time when Bill’s job required him to travel for 2-3 weeks out of every month. This meant that I was on 24 hour kid...

Politics and Social Media
I remember the first time I watched my parents vote. It was in the gymnasium of what would become my elementary school, though I didn’t know it at the time. I was only four. We walked into the gym, waited in line, and soon, the three of us– my mom, my dad, and I– crowded into a strange green booth. My parents pulled the curtain closed behind us and I said, “Is this The Wizard of Oz?” My mother told me, “No, it’s a voting booth. Mama and Daddy are going to vote, which is the greatest privilege that we have as Americans.” At that...

Judge not…
I read a really great post today, written by my friend Rachel. One of Rachel’s children has special needs, and therefore his behavior can sometimes be more difficult to manage. In this post, Rachel talks about how she usually avoids taking him out in public when he’s having bad days, but on this particular day, her husband was out of the country and she had to get food. So she took her kids to the grocery store. While there, her youngest had a screaming tantrum in the middle of the floor. Her other two kids were trying their best to get the foods they needed while Rachel...

Property Sluts
I like a lot of the home-selling shows on HGTV– except for Property Virgins. Most of the time, at the end of Property Virgins, I feel like the buyers could’ve gotten a better deal. So what, you may ask, makes me more of an expert than Sandra Rinomato? Well, not much, as it turns out. But I’ve bought a couple of houses in my day and I also, since meeting and marrying my husband, have become a total trashy property whore and therein lies my expertise. Here’s the low-down. When I met Bill, I thought the cute little starter home that he had in Cary was all he had....

Mawwaige…
This post will highlight why on May 8th, 2012, I’m voting AGAINST Amendment One. This will be one of the rare forays I make into politics and immediately afterwards, I have big plans to revert to writing shit about random punctuation marks and on cool drug paraphernalia for your kids. Because, you know, this blog is about stuff that MATTERS, people. Note: In this post, I will mention biblical scripture. I will NOT point to the two biblical passages regarding homosexuality. The purpose of this post is not to argue whether or not homosexuality is a sin. The point is to...

Greetings! I'm Katie. I'm living proof that you should have to pass more than a pregnancy test in order to become a parent. I used to do a lot of things and then I had kids. Now I'm trying to find balance between being a high school English teacher, a musician, actor, writer, wife and mother to two boys, born in 2009 and 2011 (with plans for more). Welcome to this chronicle of my thoughts and observations. Poke around! Read stuff! Remember that your comments are always appreciated and that you're always welcome to stop back by for a pit stop while cruising the information highway. I’m on Twitter!
