This is a post about some of the random things rattling around in my life right now. There is a man with no teeth fixing my roof. He was quite charming and persuasive and I couldn’t resist his sales pitch even though I’m really into teeth. He informed me that he has “an eagle’s eye”, so […]
Ok, more like a many-thousand dollar smile. India has had braces and orthodontia for three years now. But today was the day we’ve been waiting for. She got her braces off for good! Today at 8 am: (forgive the weird blurriness. I’m no photographer and I was in a hurry to get kids out the […]
If you’ve got a houseful of bored people or just wish you lived someplace snowy, this is the perfect craft. You can’t very well go skiing on paper snowflakes but they add a nice wintery touch your house long after the Christmas decorations have been put away. They are also very addictive to make. Our […]
UPDATE of yesterday’s post: The worst thing about being sick is not not being able to taste your food. It’s having children. Children who need things. Which is all children, especially mine. I can say, “you’re three now, Jasper, make your own Eggo!”, but we all know that isn’t about to happen. As much as […]
Dear Teacher, I couldn’t help but notice that heaping bounty of gifts on your desk today. Especially when you decided to open them all with the children seated around you like a second-grade baby shower. Here is what I will be giving you this Christmas season: UPDATE: OK, you guys, I’m joking. I always give […]
All you people out in blogland are familiar with NieNie, I presume. Her fab sister Courtney writes with me at Segullah. Her personal blog is a fantastic reflection of what a funny, smart, talented, deep-thinking girl/woman/lady she is. As a fundraiser for Stephanie’s family, we Segullah girls/women/ladies have edited Courtney’s… Read More So gas prices go […]
I love my treats. Oh yes I do. But ice cream has never been one of my favorites. It’s fine, but a total waste of calories, if you ask me. I’d rather have a cookie any day. A couple of weeks ago I took the babies to our weekly playgroup. We met at Phil’s Icehouse […]
I have nothing at all to say today. So that means it’s time for pictures, everybody! I was going through iphoto and realized that we did a lot of fun things this summer that I never blogged about. Here is a sampler: A chain-link fence is strong enough to keep in a tiger, right? Right??? […]
Short for Big Fat Liar. Why? Because at the crack of dawn (before that actually) Mister was leaving for work and said to me, “can you hang up my clothes that are in the dryer? Don’t forget!” Because the children are out of school today (three day vacation, heaven only knows why), I was fast […]

In case you hadn’t heard, Texas is hot. Fortunately I live in central Texas which is much less humid than Houston or Dallas. But that hardly matters since it’s been so unbelievably scorchy lately. Usually there are 11 days of 100º + temperatures each summer. Last year there were three. This year there have been […]

This really made me laugh. The guy’s name is Louis C.K. Don’t bother trying to watch his other stuff on You Tube because he has quite the potty mouth. Guess I’ll have to stick with his network appearances.
