Life on Planet Caddick

Today I decided to use the prompt from the Bloggy Mom's Dare Challenge.  I haven't used one yet, but I figured this is one I could relate to - after all haven't we all had moments of "I'm the worst mom"ness? As I started thinking about it I thought "ooo there are a lot of things I've done wrong".  But since parenting doesn't come with a book - here are some of the things I've beaten myself up over. - Once when Zach was about a year old I double dosed his dimetap.  It was the middle of the night and I was tired.  - At some point I let Zach start dictating what he was eat going eat.  Bad move mamma - I shouldn't have used the TV so much to keep him occupied while I was doing the temporary single mom thing - I should have never allowed video games in the house - Then there was the time he wandered away at DisneyWorld.  Um yeah, maybe we'll relive that another day. - I didn't make him get more involved in a sport of ...

Time to   Don't forget after you post your embraces go over to Emily at The Anderson Crew and link up and don't forget to visit the other embracers either  'cuz it would just be rude if you didn't Today I'm sharing pictures of Erik and Zach We were playing Hedbanz on one of the no school/work days  Because of all the ice we had (those pictures will come later)   This one is just Erik because what he is is what everyone in the military feels like! Especially when it snows in SC  Happy Thursday y'all! and that's...

Well, that about says it all.  Needless to say it's been a long day.  I'm not used to being up so early and then NOT napping for an hour or so after Zach's in school.  Yeah, I do that. Today started CA RAY ZEE though.  Zach was delayed two hours - I was not.  So while I should have been dropping him off at school I was sitting in a math class.  Thankfully my dearest was able to take him to school for me. My first class is Sociology 101.  It was either that or Psychology 101.  My advisor highly recommended the first class.  I picked it.  At 0800 on MWF.  Apparently a class that's going to be mostly lecture too.  Holy crap - hope I'm not regretting that choice on Friday! Next up on the list Math 111I - I wasn't exactly sure what the 'I' stood for.  I made a guess though - 'idiot'.  Yeah, well I remember doodling on the math placement test scan sheet!  Turns out it means 'Intensive'.  Um, did I end up in...

First of all it's 1.11.11  Cool in some weird way.  But, onto the phone - Dear Mr. Mail Person (or machine) You took the time to stick these stickers on this Christmas Card - you couldn't find it in your heart to just FORWARD the dang thing?  Really? You printed the forwarding address on it too - sheesh for some reason I couldn't just blur the address - so you get the little sticker coverings instead This is my checkity check check engine light It was nice enough to help celebrate the new year by turning on No one knows why it's on But I do The car is paid off - think about it My to-do list follow the advice at the bottom always you never get to the stuff at the bottom of the list just sayin.... What was in my purse when I went to the all day orientation What I actually did with myself during said orientation A note from school we don't see very often and yes the words were printed at the top - they always are but this is still ...

Today I was going to totally blog about how my first day of school went.  You know, how awesome it was, how all my professors thought I was a.maze.ing and how I'm gonna blow this crap right out of the water.  I can't though because school was cancelled.  But that will happen tomorrow if they open back up!  Because you know all that stuff is true anyway.... So instead I'm going to tell you about a give away that's happening at another blog I follow.  I don't usually do this because, well, I just don't.  But she's giving away a certificate for a Blog2Book certificate and who wouldn't want one of those?  Keep those memories alive forever.  Not that the internet isn't forever, but you know what I'm saying here.  OK, so here is her post about the giveaway Blog book give-a-way   She has pictures of her actual book up - and it looks awesome! If you're still not sold on the whole the whole blog book thing you should try reading this post...

Well of course, it's me and my sisters! From the left - Cathy, me, and Cindy You'll have to excuse the hard copy scanned and then downloaded from FB quality though If you can't tell - this picture was taken in the early 90's Can you name two things that give it away? Oh, fine - I'll help! Hypercolor shirt and foofy bangs bwah! Every time we got together I made my two sissy's pose for a 'sister picture' Somewhere there's one from 2004 at Cindy's wedding but I can't seem to find it Cathy ALWAYS hated taking these pictures I'm thinking that she's now she's probably glad I forced the issue But I'm not here to say "told you so" or embarrass the crap out of every one ok, maybe a little after all it's what I do But to say I miss Cindy a lot I miss Cathy too - she's too far away Yesterday, Cindy's youngest (maybe - since she's a twin and I'm not sure who was born first) had her third child  a boy n...

A Reading Advisory Before you read this post and think "what a flaming bitch" please realize that I'm being a flaming bitch.  What you are about to read is the final straw in almost 10 years of in-law bullshit that frankly, I'm tired of putting up with.  It's not pretty.  You can stop reading now and I will completely understand.  Honestly, you probably should stop now.  Ultimately, this blog is my place to think out loud and that's what this post is about.  You've been warned.   The black is my husbands sisters email - the red is my response. I havent had that number since we moved to Charleston which is going on 5 years, I even texted you from the new number and didnt get any reply. I have sent emails to everyone including you, Kris, Scott, and Shannon,when Our number had been changed, five years ago and have the messages to prove it, I even gave the information to Kris on FB chat as well, which I have also kept. plus you had the number when y...
