Everyday. And I do not exaggerate. Every single freakin’ day, someone, and often many someones search the Internet by typing in “Giant Ass” and “Wet Ass” and get my {Mama} Out Loud site.
I guess I kind of get “Giant Ass” and all the ways a big ol’ expanse of fanny can be thrilling. [...]

My favorite candidate, Kucinich, quits the bid for the white house, not that he had a chance.

Anyone else hear it?

We were on our way home from school. We had been the last one’s out the door as it began to get dark.
Half way home Autumn asked if everyone at school was gone. I said, “yes.”
She asked if the aliens were coming down. I said; “I don’t think so.”

Our sunny day adventure just down the street from our house at Kubota Garden. It gave me spring fever. Planting fever. Exploration fever. So much beauty to be found in the dead of winter.

Yes, Bedtime Still SUCKS!
