It’s Planely obvious…
(As you read this, please remember that one of our boys is named Mitchell….) Grant and Handsome Hubby were playing with some toy planes. Many of them are replicas of WWII war planes. As they were playing with them, HH was telling Grant the names of the planes (i.e. “This is an A-10 Warthog” or […]
Baseball pop quiz.
~~~~~ originally published March 10, 2009 ~~~~~~~ Grant had another baseball game on Saturday. It was very exciting. I offer you the highlights, in multi-choice form… A coach drew a circle in the dirt to show Grant where his position was in the infield, in the hopes that he would stay somewhere near it. Did […]
Yes, I know they’re noodle bowls. Shut up already.
I’m crafty. I’m cheap. I’m able to see potential in almost everything. Those things combine to create a perfect storm of unfinished projects. This secretary desk/dresser isn’t finished. As you can see, the most glaring problem is that I haven’t found feet for this yet. So yes. Your eyes do not deceive you. This piece […]
It’s got a good beat, but can ya dance to it?
Grant just came into the kitchen, proudly holding an invisible guitar. G: Do you like my invisible guitar? Me: Yes I do. G: Wanna hear it? Me: Of course I do. G: (various sounds, growls and humming, while pretending to rock out.) Didja like it? Me: Of course I do. What’s it called? G: I […]

Scene: Kohl’s Department Store. I had just finished standing in a line in order to make a return at the customer service counter. This line began in a walkway with candles and house wares on one side and lingerie on the other. While waiting in line with Grant, my attention had been drawn to the […]
Is that Stinky Eyeball for me? Thanks!
Mitch had a play-off baseball game Friday night. I got there late. It was the top of the 5th and our team was up by 5. Looks good to me. And by the way, even if they were down by 5, we’re talking 11 and 12 year olds. This shouldn’t be white-knuckle seriousness… It’s Little […]
Smells (and sounds) like summer!
As a child, I defined the beginning of each new year as the beginning of each school year. January? pfft. Every kid knows that the real first month of the year is September. As an adult, my thinking is still very much along those lines. During the school year it seems that every. single. minute. […]
Litter-Bugs, Lifeguards and Severed Heads
~~~~ originally published August 1, 2008 ~~~~~~ Litter-Bugs Let me preface this story by telling you that a few weeks ago I yelled at a teenage girl who was driving like an idiot. I saw her in my rear-view mirror, weaving in and out of traffic on Los Alamitos Blvd and coming up fast. She […]
My son, Billy Mays….
This post contains Amazon or other affiliate links. Grant and I were just in our local Target. He is riding in the cart, pointing out the things he has seen advertised on TV. “Look! For kissable lips!” “Takes care of mildew stains!” “Look…..” “Mom!!!! Look!!! A Ped-Egg!!!!” (at full volume…) “Grant. You do not need […]
