Soooo, I’m home on a Friday night. I am officially a loser. Mister and I are fanatical about date nights, but we already had one this week. And I had to run the last-day-of-school party gauntlet which meant dropping off and picking up all evening. Plus I did Activity Day. Plus I squeezed in swimming […]
The package guy (AKA the UPS/ Fedex man) was most bounteous yesterday. I received not one, but two packages. Not just ordinary packages either. Packages full of food. Free food! A couple of weeks ago I bought a jar of salsa at SuperTarget and the lid just didn’t seem to be screwed on right. I […]
Like most earnest and well-educated parents I decided that when I had children we would be “gun-free”. No shooting toys period.* (Except water guns because those aren’t about killing, they’re about laughing. And Nerf guns because, well, I don’t know. They’re just different.) I’ve always preferred my boys to pretend to kill and maim each […]
The Stink-Finder can be found on various pet websites. It’s nothing more than a fancy black light. Those who are familiar with the C.S.I. oeuvre know that it enables a person to see traces of blood. It also enables a person to see traces of urine so it’s perfect for finding those hidden places where […]
Is it just me or has the blogging world been a little dull lately? I haven’t got much to say these day, and I don’t think I’m the only one. I would like to blame the lack of things to say on the fact that I’m getting ready to take the kiddles on vacation. I’ve […]

I first heard about the book Tell the Wolves I’m Home in the Costco magazine a few months ago but thought it sounded dumb and uninteresting. Then my friend Anna read it and said it was fantastic. So I figured it was worth a try. Plus Anna loaned it to me; no need to plunk […]

Over the last week I have had about a quatrillion things going on in my life including volunteering at three schools (which I generally avoid because it pushes me to my limits), all sorts of church meetings, prom dress shopping, drivers license tests requiring two separate trips to the DMV (But I now have a […]

I went and had lunch on Friday with Finn (our school is happy to have parents come and eat with their children. Ugh. That means I actually have to do it sometimes or my children feel left out and neglected). I’d been shopping at Costco so I brought him a big hot dog and […]
