Sick, Sick, and Sicker
I wish I had something else to write about... oh... wait a tic! I should be working on my project that is due next Monday. Ok, since you didn't end this, I will.
Holla!

The Pool from Hell
So, it seemed like a great idea to put in an above ground pool this summer, especially with Ryan being in year round swimming lessons. I did tons of research, can't help the scientist in me, and decided on a saltwater system. Boy did I screw up!
So everything is jolly good, except that the saltwater chlorinator has to be soaked at least once a week in acetic acid AKA vinegar to get friggin mineral deposits off of the titanium plates. This requires that I basically disassemble the darn thing on a regular basis.
The mineral deposits are only the tip of the iceberg, as the pool seems to feel more like a hot tub during the day than a nice refreshing pool. So, the water is evaporating faster and creating a need for me to add more calcium, etc. filled water... and the vicious cycle repeats itself. Damn you hard water!!!
Lesson learned... get an in ground pool and hire someone else to maintain it.
Ok, now that my pool rant is over...
I have nothing more to say.
Peace Out!

Happy 4th of July and Welcome to my New Experiment!!
Welcome to my life. Let me first warn you that this is and always has been a story of epic proportions. I am thinking that blogging might just be a great way for me to actually reconnect with humanity since I fell in to the pit of motherhood over 3 and a half years ago.
First, introductions... I am 26 years old, married for over 7 years, mom to two monsters with the XY curse, have my undergrad in chemistry, and am currently working on my graduate degree. I like tree hugging, recycling, cloth diapers, ghetto music, icees, cheese, and being sarcastic. I sound like a real gem, right? :)
Now that I have set the tone, I just want to say that I look forward to ranting, raving, and sharing my trials and tribulations of motherhood, and life in general with other moms, and the world.
Peace Out!

About Me
- Steve Parker
- I am a tree hugging, cloth diapering, nursing, Prius driving, tortured graduate student and mom of two beautiful monsters. I have been married to Steve for over seven years, but he has a major flaw in that he seems to only be capable of producing children with the Y chromosome. My beautiful little monsters are Ryan and Reid, and they do a wonderful job of keeping me alive and slowly killing me at the same time. What can I say? I love my guys!
