I like to cook. So does my husband.I appreciate great food. So does my husband. The similarities often end there. When I cook, I try to be as neat as possible. I clean as I go and I am almost OCD about preventing cross-contamination on my cutting boards, etc. He cleans as he goes too, […]
There is no cure for what they have… it’s chronic.
I don’t recall how it came up, but I was in the car with Devin & Conner and I said something about “that Playboy chick” on a nearby car. This is the conversation that ensued: Devin: “Wow Mom, that’s so weird!” Me: “What’s weird?” Devin: “To hear you say ‘chick’ – it’s just weird to […]
Three big brothers wield big influence
I don’t know any other 5 year olds who can sing along with the Rolling Stones and recognize Paramore when they are on the radio. I don’t know any other 5 year olds who say things like, “Dude! That’s tight!” I don’t know any other 5 year olds who would rather sit through almost 3 […]
Hitler needs a haircut. And the First Amendment.
New Jersey state officials have taken the kids named after Nazis out of their parents’ care. Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy State authorities don’t say why the kids were removed from the house. I think these parents are scum and total idiots. I wouldn’t let them take care […]
Merry Christmas. Please pass the scissors.
Still undecorating the house. Still picking up random bits of wrapping paper and Christmas toys in unlikely places. (Really? Who unwrapped a gift in a bathroom?) Barely uploaded the Christmas photos. Until a real post comes along, please enjoy Conner’s smiling face as he finds the gift the Ribbon Fairy left for him.
The first parenting blunder of the year.
I spent New Year’s Day “un-decorating” the house. Literally, the whole day. By 9:00 in the evening, I was exhausted and wanted a long hot shower. I had the TV on while packing up ornaments. It did not occur to me to turn it off when I left the room. Jerry Maguire was on… what’s […]
Waste knot, want knot.
You know how when you’re wrapping presents you get all of those odd pieces of wrapping paper or little scraps of ribbon left over? I hate to waste anything and Conner hates to have ribbons and knots keep him from his gift, so I thought of the perfect way to use up my extras and […]
Elements of style. Or the lack thereof.
Conner and I were wrapping presents. I take my time and try to make it pretty. He is all thumbs. (And he can use a whole roll of wrapping paper and a mile of tape to wrap a DVD.) I tried to show him how to take ribbon and make a bow. He says thanks […]
Here ya go Tony. A dead deer.
My husband shot a deer. It was his first deer and he got him on the very last day of hunting season, about 2 miles from our cabin. It was a big deal for him (and for the deer.) I have deer liver in the freezer at the cabin and I have 60 pounds of […]
The Lord of the Coconuts.
After last week’s coconut craziness, Devin got a lecture about responsibility, and we got an explanation as to why he is bringing a coconut to school. His English class is reading The Lord Of The Flies and they have divided up into teams and are playing a type of trivia game based on the book. […]
