…is that all of the actors from my generation are starting to have episodic parts in it. It is fun to see some of them, but way frustrating when I can’t figure out what they’re from!!! Tonight is one such example. The girl who needs to testify but who is being intimidated was on some [...]

…gotta make the moment last. I’m still sick, but the schooling must continue. One of the things I hate most about being sick is that my normally boundless resevoir of patience is dwindled to nearly nil. Ugh. I can usually deal. But I’m learning something about my daughter as we’re schooling. She really likes to [...]

Okay, so, not really. But my friend and I are entering a little waging war to motivate us each to lose those last few pounds that we have hanging onto our various body parts. And, by a few pounds I mean, well, more than a few. I think I have an edge here, though. I’ve [...]

We’ll have to skip phonics today so that she doesn’t start spelling “c-o-d-e” for “cold” and “h-a-b” for “have.” Though, I guess, “have” doesn’t follow the rules of phonics. Along with about a billion other words. And that last group of words wasn’t [...]

Just time for a quick note. If you’re going to advertise a “Back to School Picnic,” somewhere, for the love of all things helpful, mention that you need to bring a lunch to said picnic.

1. Coffee in a travel mug with French Vanilla low-fat creamer (no, I didn’t actually go anywhere. I find a travel mug a must to be able to keep coffee safe around my toddlers, and to keep it warm enough to be palatable for hours on end because I never actually get to sit and [...]

A friend from playgroup had her baby boy yesterday, and a few of us went down to see him tonight. How awesome. Truly. We walked in and saw her pink bundle laying in the bassinet. I leaned over him and was just overcome by the newborn smell. There is nothing else in the world like [...]

There are pros and cons to every major choice in life. Here are our first couple a week or so into homeschooling. Cons (b/c I like getting the bad out of the way first): 1. If I have to take one of the boys to the doctor’s office, my oldest is not sitting in school [...]
