Okay– not to be harsh, but I’d just written a lovely post about my kids’ recital and all sorts of funny things–it was hard to do, because I’m exhausted and the kids are exhausted, but I think I managed to pull off lots of things to make you all laugh at… I pushed post, and… Read More

Okay, yesterday was my 22nd wedding anniversary– but that’s not what I remember about this time of year. Nope. For the last 14 years, it’s been recital time. I don’t know why I’m so tired–in fact, I feel guilty about being this trashed. My kids were in the performances, or, Chicken’s case, working backstage too,… Read More

I officially caved to laziness today– I couldn’t help it. I took the little kids to the pool yesterday to play after water aerobics, and after two hours, I was WIPED. OUT. Between the allergies/summer cold I’ve got going and the two hours in the sun, about the only thing I was good for when… Read More

Okay–you know my life has gotten REALLY busy when this makes the “Oh yeah, I forgot to mention!” files.

Okay-to recap: My last day in Florida featured breakfast at a drag show (I shit you not) which I didn’t get pictures of because I’m a weenie, and this: It was beautiful and peaceful, and the site of the best kidnapping ever. We had a lovely time–and I never in a thousand years expected to… Read More

Okay– the crappy picture was SO crappy, I’m not even putting it out there. I love the new phone, but the camera, well, not so much. It’s all right. I made it to Orlando perfectly intact after getting an upgrade to first class. God Bless United Airways–that’s seriously all I’ve got to say. I love… Read More

Okay– so Zoomboy has his second grade field trip to Fog Willow this morning. Do I know what Fog Willow is? Not a clue. Do I know he’s been all excited about it? Not a chance in hell I could not. He’s been telling me what to bring and what to wear, what he wants… Read More

Okay– I admit. I finished a couple of big projects and have been enjoying some downtime. It’s not that I’m not working on a project (I’m ALWAYS working on a project–and if not, there’s ALWAYS Quickening) it’s more that I’m more invested in playing with the kids or cuddling or folding laundry. This could be… Read More

(I was looking for a picture of Squish when I stumbled on a bunch of Chicken’s home-made anigarumi and thought I’d share, because she does such an outstanding job:-) Anywho… Squish goes to day care at the gym three days a week. It’s not enough. Not that I”M going banana bugshit, per se (although I… Read More
