Random and Odd

ok. not good. probably bad.

  • Seeing that I blogged this, I won’t actually be able to do it now…

    My ex-husband, Dan and I went food shopping yesterday. Yes, you heard that right. Between the two of us, we are trying to figure out how to get through the month of December without the debtors police coming to beat us with bully sticks. Since paying child support isn’t in our near future, we decided…

  • It’s FRIDAY!!

    Good Morning Random and Odd readers! It’s 8:10 am and I have been up for a few hours feeling super fantastic!  I got laundry done, kids dressed and off to school. This is UNHEARD of people! UNHEARD OF! For the last two nights, because I am sicker than a dog, I have been falling asleep…

  • Maybe it’s the Dayquil talkin..

    “When did locking your kids in their room get such a bad rap?” -My So-Called Life. And to add to that little diddy, when did duct tape over the mouth and beating them unconscious get a bad rap? How many times a day do I have to think, “Dear Lord, is this day over yet?”…

  • At What Point?

    My mother is doing good.  She didn’t have a stroke, but they were worried that she had.  They ran some tests and sent her home after she checked out fine. It didn’t stop me from driving up there so I could run my fingers through her hair and cuddle with her. Today we talked on…

  • Living on the ‘in betweens’…

    On Wednesday, Kathy called me. “I’m taking mom to the hospital.” Uh. There is never a time in my life that I want to hear the words, “Mom” and “Stroke” in the same sentence. I may or may not have drove over the speed limit to get to Redding.  I got there and she was…

  • Ammmmmmaaazingggg Race. How lame you are.

    I love falling asleep during interesting TV shows. It makes for bitchen dreams. Today I fell asleep while watching CNN. I had this dream I was a news reporter, going to New Orleans to check the damage. In the process of this helicopter ride, I fell in love with a brother that was convicted of…

Why I Started My Personal Blog

I started Random and Odd back in 2002 or so because it was all the rage and my mom and sister were perpetually online either playing games or finding recipes.
I decided that I wanted to be able to write what I was going through as a parent and keep them updated on what the girls were saying or doing. It started out just a way for me to vent, rant or laugh about life.
It turned into more when other people outside of my mom and sister started reading it and through the years it was just a place for Stuff Portrait Fridays, meeting other people blogging and making those people friends. It was a place to put down a photo I took that I was proud of and then it was a place to talk about the traveling I was doing. Now it’s just a dumping ground of bullshit that is swirling in my head.

I want to get back to writing, taking photos and traveling and doing a complete redo of R & 0 was needed to document.
Enjoy the minimalist look.
