Don't Stand On The Watermelon: December 2010
http://dont-stand-on-the-watermelon.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Don't Stand On The Watermelon. Thursday, December 23, 2010. Well, Of Course It Does. My husband called a short while ago, just to say hello (all together now: "Awwww.").and while on the phone with him, I updated him about Ian's trip to the clinic this morning (turns out that while the boy does not, thankfully, have either pneumonia nor bronchitis, he does need to use a puffer for the next two to three weeks to help with the nasty cough he's developed). His soothing words of wisdom? Why, you may ask?

Don't Stand On The Watermelon: If You Don't Have Something Nice To Say...
http://dont-stand-on-the-watermelon.blogspot.com/2015/02/my-husband-is-journalist.html
Don't Stand On The Watermelon. Sunday, February 1, 2015. If You Don't Have Something Nice To Say. Brian, like most people today, has a Facebook account, is on Twitter and even has an Instagram account, where, in the interest of drumming up a "following", he re-posts and comments about the same things he discusses on his show. Like I said, a lot of people love him and agree with him and then there are the ones who don't. I get it. You think that because we are conservatives, both socially and fiscally...

Don't Stand On The Watermelon. Wednesday, February 2, 2011. Know What Else Drives Me Nuts? Yes, that's what I said.me. I drive me crazy. And not in a good way. I am almost 43 years old and I am still fighting the demons that tell me I'm not good enough.wait, no.not that I'm not good enough.that I'm not thin enough.fit enough.not perfect. She seems to be perfectly comfortable with her body. She is exactly the kind of woman I want to be when I grow up. She wanted to know. My husband looked at me like I was...

Don't Stand On The Watermelon: May 2012
http://dont-stand-on-the-watermelon.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Don't Stand On The Watermelon. Friday, May 25, 2012. I think I have developed seasonal allergies. Which really, really,. I've already had to give up gluten (which includes wheat, barley, rye, spelt and kamut), dairy (which means milk, cheese and cream) and now processed sugar (which includes pretty much anything fun). In the meantime, what I thought was a cold is not affected in the slightest by cold medication, but clears up completely when I take allergy meds. And maybe it's nothing at all. We had him ...

Don't Stand On The Watermelon: September 2014
http://dont-stand-on-the-watermelon.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Don't Stand On The Watermelon. Wednesday, September 24, 2014. The Other Language Issue. Apparently, I have a potty mouth. My husband does not suffer from this condition. Brian has been trained (that whole journalist thing) to choose his words carefully and to remember that "the mic is always live". You should always remember," he sternly informed the newsroom. "The mic is always live.". Bah," I thought, when Brian told me what had happened. "Who cares? Is this really what people are worried about? For th...

Don't Stand On The Watermelon: August 2011
http://dont-stand-on-the-watermelon.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Don't Stand On The Watermelon. Saturday, August 6, 2011. Time, She Flies. It's the beginning of August. The last time I posted here was in February. I stopped writing because I figured, what's the point? No one is that interested in my ramblings. Truth be told, it had nothing to do with that.it had to do with the fact that I sat down in prayer one day, asked what (other than being a wife and mother) I should be doing with my time/talents/life and received an answer I didn't want to hear. Thing I would do.

Don't Stand On The Watermelon: I'm Supposed To Be...All Over Myself...
http://dont-stand-on-the-watermelon.blogspot.com/2015/01/im-supposed-to-be-writing.html
Don't Stand On The Watermelon. Tuesday, January 27, 2015. I'm Supposed To Be.All Over Myself. I'm supposed to be writing. I'm supposed to be cleaning the house. I'm supposed to be working out. I'm supposed to be doing a million little things that don't really matter in the end. Will the world come to an end if the laundry isn't folded perfectly? Will the people who love me really think I have suddenly turned into a terrible person if I don't vacuum or dust this place every single day? I wasn't like this ...

Don't Stand On The Watermelon. Wednesday, October 31, 2012. It's October 31 again. Which means Halloween is almost over. Officially, it's today only, but the entire month of October is one big creep-fest for most people.scary movies on tv and in theatres, kids trying to find the creepiest, ghouliest (it's a word) costumes possible.my boys trying to figure out how best to scare the crap out me.

Don't Stand On The Watermelon. Monday, January 31, 2011. Know What Drives Me Nuts? When I say I want to do something or go somewhere and someone (usually someone older) says, "Oh, you don't want to do that! Well, actually, yes, I do. Because, you see, if I didn't. Want to do something a certain way or go to a certain place, I wouldn't have said, "I want to do this. I'm old enough to decide for myself what I do or don't want to do. Wednesday, January 19, 2011. Last night before dinner, Murphy had had enou...
