This weekend saw the girls’ old doll house sitting a top of the burn pile ready for the next bonfire. I admit that I cried when I saw it in the burn pile and today, my eldest, on her dog walk, saw it and it brought her to tears as well. What the hell is [...]

I Don’t Know If I’m Ready for This
June 2nd, 2010 · 1 Comment
While I have been complaining (whining, pining, and commiserating) about missing the kids, I don’t know as I am ready for more. I was asked to watch two little ones, ages 6 and 3, for an overnight and suddenly, all my energy has been drained, mysteriously zapped at the very thought of chasing someone in [...]

Sure Sign It’s Time to Take Down the Christmas Tree

Mine did until I went looking for a plugin to fix this droop on my sidebar. I got something for now but it doesn’t list the numbers of posts or ring any bells and whistles, so I am still on the hunt. Ah, if it were just as easy to fix some other droopy things… But [...]

Here’s Looking At You, Kid
August 16th, 2009 · 3 Comments
Today was party day and the Megastation was fabulous in the pool. The 87 degree day was made to order. All of the kids were home and the cousins arrived so we donned our suits and had a great meal with the two “college kids to be” before they go off. It was pretty typical [...]
Gravity + Soda = Mess
July 10th, 2009 · No Comments
Yes, the combination of gravity and soda (pop) and/or beer for the adults, did make for a messy time. The craft exercise I had planned for my family’s vacation (see post below) was a big hit, and the whole crew got into it as the photo to the left illustrates. As it turns out, duct [...]
