Head cold is fully developed. Real Sudafed didn’t work. Trying Claritin D generic. So basically I have a bad cold that’s not bad enough to call in sick to work but just right to give me a miserable Thursday.
Yet, there have been some moments of coolness today that I can only describe as the mercy [...]

And now a little dinner theatre
Overhearing Maddie in the next room orchestrating an entire scenario of make believe. She is giving the kids (and the dog) their lines and stage direction.
Actually, it’s completely self serving. Annaliese would not let Maddie read a new book of hers. Annaliese hadn’t had the chance to look through it. Maddie was deeply OFFENDED that [...]

Easy way out?
I don’t care how early it is. I will put these wild animal children to bed and eat chocolate all night if I have to! I am convinced you will all see me on an episode of “Intervention” skulking down the clearance Christmas treat aisle, sneaking 2 for 1 items in my cart. Upon loading [...]

Mamas, Don’t Let Your Babies…
There’s an old country song called “Mamas, Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys” by Waylon Jennings. It goes on to list the perils and pitfalls of being a cowboy.

Am I Just Weird?
JD went to an awesome birthday party today. Fun stuff to do including a traveling reptile show–real reptiles, not a guy in a costume! Relaxed mom throwing the party, boys running around in a pack consuming too much sugar, snacks and pop. Lots of fun.
Now the invitation said “drop off or stay”. Since this is [...]

Madison Avenue hamstrings moms
OK, has anyone else noticed the incredible inundation of tv toy ads (even more so than usual) this month? I have. There are about 5-8 minutes of toy commercials in between each kid show on Nick Jr. and Playhouse Disney. You know they’re trying to get into people’s heads early. Ick. I know I can [...]

What was your question?
There has to be a way for me to answer my inquisitive 5 yr old son when he asks me this:
Did God make the flood? (not Noah’s, ours)
God doesn’t seem to be taking care of it. (not all the water has receded in our area)
Is heaven above space?
Are King and Goofy playing together in heaven?
When [...]
