So, the week DID improve. I suppose my leveling out on the detox helped and the shock of the kids being SO HERE ALL THE TIME wore off and we made it through. At one point, though, I did get into a Facebook argument with some friend of a friend re’ Blogs. Her opinion was [...]

Okay- so about that lovely weekend? It got drop-kicked and then sucker punched by this week. Monday was alright- not as bad on the sugar detox- as in, I wasn’t simmering with barely contained rage but today… MAN. Now, the kids have been INSANE for 2 weeks now. Bickering, whining, tantrums and a LOT of [...]

Am in the midst of a lovely summer weekend. Max is learning to ride his 2 wheeler- which is a glorious, tear envoking experience to watch and Scout is busy yelling at her tricycle for not co-operating. Have been to 3 different pools and on our way to another. Doug is cramming in work but [...]

If it weren’t for NPR I’d be a complete blathering, quivering, slack-jawed wet brain.
With it, I’m usually just blathering. (I LOVE YOU IRA GLASS!!)
Anyway- this came up on Monday but I’m only now writing on it because… there’s a lot of bad T.V. out there. (Yeah- like I’m gonna say I was writing or finding the latest Newberry Award Book for my kids…) Anyway- it’s Max’s last week of summer camp this week. It’s been fun. It’s through [...]
So, this may be a double post because the following event deserves it’s own acknowledgement. Anyway, after my boot camps, the kids and I run into the bank this afternoon and we all had lollipops- see, this is a Mommy tactic. They’re small enough to not be too off-the-richter, sugar-wise, yet, should buy me enough [...]
