Deservedly Reprimanded

After dinner tonight the hubby mentioned to me that he reads my blog every now and then (which I already knew). He was more than a bit concerned when he realized I had been telling people I was home alone while he was gone fishing in Canada. "Not smart" was a phrase I'm sure he uttered more than a time or two.

And you know what? He's absolutely right. It was more than "not smart", it was downright ignorant. Despite my over-developed sense of paranoia I announced to the entire blog-o-sphere I would be all by my lonesome. What the hell was I thinking? Although I would guess anyone reading this blog is harmless and has no desire to actually track me down, the possibility of some computer-savvy psycho running across my blog is more than possible.

So in the future I will keep such tidbits to myself until hubby is safely home again. Then I can post how my week or weekend alone went.

Go ahead and scold me. I know I was bad.

    My husband is the same way, which is why I've never offered him the url of my blog.

    I don't care who knows I'm home alone. I can take care of myself, as well as he could. I don't, however, post pictures of my kids anywhere a lot of people would have access. I can't articulate why it worries me so much. It just does.

    It's hard to draw the line sometimes on what to share and keep silent, isn't it? I've gotten to where I don't even refer to the monsters by their names. I deleted all their pictures. I read somewhere about all the pedophiles surfing the net in seach of kid pictures and I about puked.

    It's alright Krista... we all make mistakes, and your okay now, aren't you?

    See? It's all fine. *nods* Come to think of it, I distinctly remember mention on my xanga that I was alone at my boss's house for three days over July 4th weekend.

    Eeh... I guess I made the same boo boo you did ^.^;;

    Isn't it a shame that we can't share the most beautiful things in our lives because of the pervs that surf the net? I know I don't refer to my boys by their names very often and pictures are few and far between for that reason.

    It is sad that we can't share pictures of kids. But if you think about it another way the traditional pedophile method in hanging out at schools or parks and I'm not going to stop taking my kids to school or the park.

    What is it about the internet that scares us so? Maybe the sheer number of people who could see the pictures, but then, how likely is it that any of them would be close enough to do any harm? I mean, it STILL would be easier to hang out at a park or school, wouldn't it?

    You know...you're right! I think the most important thing is to protect your identity and location. Not that an internet savvy individual couldn't figure it out but there's no sense in making it easy, is there?

They saved the finger..

This was supposed to be an easy, carefree weekend.  One of those rare weekends where spontaneity is possible because plans were not made ahead of time.  We could lounge on the couch, work on our hobbies, or even do a little shopping.  And, no, I'm not referring to the necessary evil of grocery shopping, but the much more enjoyable version where you get to buy things that actually make you happy. Because the oldest boy needed some pants and the youngest could use a new pair of shoes, I decided to head into the city to do some shopping at Kohl's.  Of course, my decision to shop there was not quite so altruistic.  Mama needed a new bathing suit! So, I pack the kids up and head into the city.  The youngest picks out his shoes . The oldest tries on a few pairs of jeans and ends up with two in the basket.  Did I mention we have to shop in the men's department now?  That he's wearing size 29?  My baby is growing up! Then it was Mom's turn.  I was looking ove

Camping with Little Boys

  Our first travel trailer. I don't remember camping much with my family as a kid. This is likely because we always had the same vacation destination: a family plot in Baldwin, MI. There was no cabin there. Instead, there were two structures: a small, silver camper and an old single-wide trailer. The silver camper is gone but the single-wide still sits there and is used by extended family members to this day.  It wasn't until I was a teenager that my step-mom and dad bought a pop-up trailer and we started camping elsewhere in the state. My memory isn't the greatest, but I'm almost certain they got the pop-up after I started dating Ken. Eventually, my parents upgraded to a fifth wheel that my dad still pulls around to various nearby camping spots. Ken, by contrast, didn't have a set vacation destination growing up. His family camped. They started out with a truck-bed camper, I believe, and eventually upgraded to a fifth wheel.  Ken and I vacationed both in Baldwin an

Shopping & Packing

This may come as a surprise, but I don't consider myself much of a shopper. Don't get me wrong, I could be! I could easily spend my weekends hopping from store to store, searching for that perfect pair of jeans or a cute little shirt to go with those shorts I have at home. I could also spend hours browsing the local B&N in search of the next best read. Oh, yes, I could easily become a hardcore shopper if the funds were available. But I don't frequent the mall because there's always something more pressing to spend my paychecks on and I'm not very good at window shopping. If I'm browsing, I'm buying. So I don't go. At least, not often. However, as we all know, there are times when shopping is necessary. Family vacations happen to be one of them. My feeling on the matter is that everyone needs to look good in the hundreds of photos I will undoubtedly take. Last year's wardrobe just won't do, not even if it still fits! Besides, I doubt
