Go to the 4 minute mark and tell me if you can’t totally see a Tucker Carlson spoof! Still looking for a shirt manufacturer to make “Tucker can’t afford me” shirts!
Ramon the pool boy with the good body, my maid and myself are heading off for a wonderful 12 hour ride in the mommy van tomorrow. Who am I kidding? I am all these people! Before you get that jealous look on you face about Greta’s fantabulous vacation – remember this: I will be driving …

Nothing to say…yet. So I thought I’d share this sign.
I fess up, I have 3 kids well out of diapers & never heard of Boudreaux’s Butt Paste. That is…until the other night at #1 son’s baseball game. I’m chatting away and somehow the subject of this miracle potion comes up. I can’t stop laughing at the name and even better…laughing at all the things …
This morning I woke the little monsters up early. Why wake sleeping children – isn’t that breaking every law known to civilization? Well, it is hot here – it is summer in the South dagnabbit. The mommy-van maxed out at 105 by noon. Does that tell you something? I planned a Slidell excursion for today. …

That’s it, I’m re-writing mapquest for NOLA. I headed off to an Organizing job in Uptown yesterday. I have no idea where Uptown is, Downtown, Mid-town, wrong side of town- I only know landmarks. There is no map grid when you are driving that says – “YOU ARE HEADING TOWARDS THE WESTERN PERIMETER OF UPTOWN!!!!” …
