~~~~~~~~UPDATED/REVISED 3/31/09~~~~~~~~~~I am so in love with Thrifty Decor Chick and the crafty blogging community, I just had to submit another post for her Spray Paint Party. I know I posted this a few weeks ago, and I’m late (again) to the party, but I liked this project and wanted to share…~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I’m kind of […]

I am so sad about Natasha Richardson.

March 19, 2009 Leave a Comment

I don’t believe I have seen any of Natasha Richardson’s movies. I had heard of her, of course, but I didn’t follow her career. I do not understand why I am so, so, sad to hear that she died from this little, no big deal fall on a ski slope. (And a bunny slope at […]

A spider by any other name is still just as creepy.

Rich is the Great Spider Killer in our house. He is my hero. Grant has the same aversion to spiders that I have, but Rich has tried to teach him that Daddy-Long-Legs spiders aren’t bad, and can actually be a bit helpful. So, if there is a Daddy-Long-Legs around, Rich tries to put it outside, […]

I can stop any time I want…

It is that time of year again. The time of year I lose all self control. As a result, I’ve suffered a debilitating injury. I have eaten so many of these Cadbury Mini-Eggs that the roof of my mouth seems to have been rubbed with a cheese-grater. You see, you can’t just chew them. You […]

Some other kid’s cute thing…

March 12, 2009 Leave a Comment

At Grant’s baseball game yesterday, one of the little kids on the other team was playing 2nd base. As one of our guys hit the ball toward him, he bent over to field it. He let the ball go by him because he spied something else on the ground and he picked that up instead. […]

I think I need a lollipop too.

Grant just got 4 immunization shots, plus a shot for a TB test in order to register for kindergarten. I tried to tell him that, yes, it will hurt a little, but they will help to keep him safe and healthy, yadda, yadda, yadda. He was OK with that story, but then I had to […]

He never listens when WE tell him to shut up…

Conner told us last night that there was going to be a dance after school this week, and that he wanted to go. It went a little something like this: “Um, there’s this dance after school and it’s sometime this week, either Tuesday or Wednesday or Thursday or Friday. It’s either $4 or $10 or […]

Baseball pop quiz.

March 10, 2009 Leave a Comment

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 Grant….a) completely ignore what the coach said […]

Spring whining; oops, I mean cleaning.

March 9, 2009 1 Comment

So sorry to my pals in the Mid-West or on the East Coast, but here in SoCal, spring has sprung. (Or it’s about to…) Even if the temperature doesn’t tell the whole truth, I can tell it’s here because I get that itch to clean out closets, organize things and I want to redecorate. I […]

Check your own damn pockets or pay the price. (Which I think is about $8.50…)

March 8, 2009 Leave a Comment

My guys need to learn to be more responsible. I thought I made it perfectly clear that I am no longer reaching into people’s pockets to make sure they’re empty before throwing them in the wash. I will sort of pat the article of clothing, while shaking it upside down, but I am not reaching […]
