Eek! So, I’m a sucker for clickbait. I am- I mean, it wouldn’t be an internet thing if a lot of us weren’t, would it? And I was on a clickbait site about the paranormal yesterday when I accidentally clicked something I shouldn’t have. I fell asleep knitting while I was waiting for Mate to… Read More

So, I blogged about our birthday coming up and then blogged about everything else, and didn’t tell you about the birthday. So here’s a few after party highlights, in case anyone was wondering: A. I wasn’t able to “surprise” Mate with the wagon because, of ALL the days, the game schedule was different and he… Read More

So, this weekend is “birthday weekend”– which is always both fun and a challenge for Mate and I. My birthday’s on the 30th, his is on the 1st, and there’s a daughter and an aunt and a mother all thrown in there somewhere too. This year, I didn’t expect a big deal, really– the year… Read More

So, I was down for a forty-five minute nap this afternoon when Squish climbed into bed. She had a headache and was trembly and… And it’s week six. I didn’t even have to do the math. Week six, the marking week of the most stressed, the most exhausted, the most strung out and wrecked that… Read More

Squish got in the car all excited today. “Hey, mom–we finally had social studies! We’re going to learn about colonialism!” I was surprised. “You mean they’re going to teach about how European interlopers pretty much displaced the indigenous people of four different continents, raped the land of the resources and brutalized the natives in an… Read More

Okay– I’m the world’s WORST secret keeper. I admit it. Lots of examples on the blog, on FB, on Twitter. My gift selection sucks wind (unless I’m knitting for you and then it’s awesome by virtue of I said it was awesome so there) and odds are good I’ll tell you what your gift is… Read More

So, when I posted this on FB I said, “I don’t know where it came from”. This might have been misleading if people thought I got it from somewhere else. I mean, I wrote it, but I have no idea why.  Just popped into my head and thought I’d share. So, y’all… do you hear… Read More

Okay– seriously not that hot, but it’s the weird mundane minutia that’s been making up my week: *  Geoffie the rotten dog still needs one more medication. Tomorrow I’ll get it at the grocery store and then it’s eyedrops ho! *  Squish is running for student council again because she’s gonna rule the world. *… Read More

So, a short short blog tonight–but possibly a longer one tomorrow. I’ve got to tell you guys, that whole “writing sex” thing NEEDS to happen. But for my short short blog… So, we were driving down the road when we came to as top behind a bus. But not just any bus–one of the busses… Read More

I admit it– I made a VERY dangerous discovery in the last two days. Three of them, actually. They involve decorating. The first one was that I can draw on my photos on FB. You heard me. DRAW on my photos. So, Chicken’s cat, with the angel wings, that was the result. The other result… Read More
