In “Bite,” Kristina Curtin recounts a frustrating legal and financial ordeal that began in February 2020 when her elderly dog, Coco, was accused of biting a woman while they were on a walk. Despite Kristina’s belief that her dog merely grazed the woman, the woman sued her for $15,000, though her medical expenses were only $400. This led to Kristina being dropped by her homeowner’s insurance, a situation she struggled to resolve for months. The post details Kristina’s disbelief at the lawsuit and her frustration with the insurance industry, while also offering practical advice to others who might find themselves in a similar situation. Ultimately, she encourages readers to learn from her experience and highlights the importance of staying cautious when interacting with others during dog walks.

In this hilarious and relatable post, Kristina shares her frustrations with various clothing items. She touches on functional issues that drive her nuts and through humor and exaggeration, she makes the everyday annoyances of dressing herself and her children a relatable experience.

In this candid and humorous post, Kristina shares her recent trip to Delray Beach, where she and her family visited relatives. However, the focus of the post quickly shifts to an unexpected and relatable topic.

I haven’t really posted about Evie’s sleeping patterns lately. This is because I am deathly afraid to “jinx” myself. Not that I really believe that you can jinx something. I’m not superstitious at all.

I open umbrellas wherever the hell I want.

Logical me knows that talking about Evie’s sleeping habits won’t change them. However, crazy-ass me has been holding strong and not saying shit about the fact that my child is now sleeping through the night.

THERE! I SAID IT! LET THE SLEEPING GODS SMITE ME NOW!

*sike!!!! please don’t smite me. these past few weeks have been glorious. i’ve slept. i’ve dreamed. i feel almost human again.*

Now that I’ve tempted fate, I might as well give the details.

This past weekend, we took a day trip to Sarasota. It’s about an hour and 20 minutes from our house, but we decided to go on Memorial Day weekend, so slap on an additional 3 hours for traffic. JK, it wasn’t THAT bad, but every extra minute in the car with Evie feels like eons. She’s only good for about 30 minutes and then she starts losing her shit. 

The main reason we decided to load Evie into the car for that ungodly amount of time was to check out the model of the house we already bought. Yup, we signed and handed over a hefty deposit check, without ever actually seeing in person what the house looks like. There’s not a model near us, and and we needed to make a decision ASAP because the market is nuts right now and we couldn’t risk waiting. I did do the virtual walkthrough like a thousand times so it wasn’t a total surprise. But, virtual isn’t in person. Even though we were already committed to the house and our lot, we figured it would be a good idea to see what our forever house even looked like.

As a parent, I’m going to be direct and say that you should never allow a video service to autoplay anything for your kids. It’s like playing roulette with your eyeballs. I knew this about YouTube, but I realized recently that this applies to traditional TV as well.

A few Sundays ago, Vince was watching The Internship on our living room television. Part way through, it ended up attracting Gianna and Scarlett’s attention so they started watching with him. After it was over, Vince left the TV on, even though he was pretty much done watching it and was playing sudoku on his phone. 

Cue the next movie: We’re the Millers.

I’ve seen this movie years ago, but I didn’t remember the content that much. But, it was on cable so I didn’t think much of it. I figured it would be fine. I was loosely paying attention, but mainly playing with Evie.

About 5 minutes or so into the movie, Jennifer Aniston’s character, Rose, comes on. If you’ve never seen the movie, she’s a stripper. Whoops, forgot about that character detail…
