TA DAAAAAA!

After many a beleaguered night and added gray hair (not because it was particularly hard, but because I was trying to teach myself how to do every single thing for the first time) I would like to announce that

That Bible really makes you look hot

Walking down the sidewalk next to church today, I noticed out of the corner of my eye a car slow down and roll down its window. Ready to give directions, I stopped and turned, only to be greeted by three guys leaning out the window leering at me. “Hey baby, can I go [...]

No skates for you!

If you want to see something totally hilarious, go check out your local church gym on a night when they have a Skate Night for kids 3-7. That’s 30-40 smallish kids trying desperately to stay on their feet but losing the battle every 20 seconds. Add to that your own kid, one of [...]

Weekends Before and After: Two Haikus

THEN
Dinner, drinks, movie
Hang out ’til the wee hours
Sleep in, lounge, repeat
NOW
Pizza, skating, juice
Home by eight and jammies on
Up at six, repeat

If he’s gonna come in HERE, he’s gonna kick MY ass!

My favorite part of this video is how hard the mother is trying not to laugh. Story of my life. Like yesterday when Bug asked where girls pee pee from and I said “Girls pee pee from their vaginas.” And Bug looked at me sternly and said, “Mama, NO. That [...]

Potty cross training

“Yeah, well, I feel like Hillary would have to do something like have the ability to poop gold before I’d consider voting for her.”
“I think being able to poop gold would make me not want to vote for someone. You know, because that [...]

Don’t be fooled by the rocks that I’ve got, I’m still, I’m still Rachel from the blog

Y’all, I promise I have a new improved Yestertime for you coming soon. I know it sounds like I’m just saying that, but it’s just taking a long time to get it set up. The catalyst behind hosting my own site instead of going through WordPress was using BlogHer Ads on my site. [...]

On the way home from lunch

(from the back seat) “Mama look what I can do!”
(wrenching awkwardly around to see) “What can you do?”
(transferring a rock from hand to hand in a complicated fashion) “See first you do dis and then you spin it around like dis and then you go it around like dis, and then you stop it like [...]

I’m not the only one who’s addicted

We might be in need of a Netaholics Anonymous twelve step program. Of course, if we found one, I’d have to give up Yestertime, and that could quite possibly cause the END OF THE WORLD.
