What I have been asking Grant each morning: Did you make your bed…? What I will be asking Grant each morning from here on out: Did you make your bed properly, or did you just pull the comforter up over a big wad of sheets, blankets and stuffed animals….? oy.
Sorry, but I have a “no reptiles” policy in place.
Grant’s class is studying the US Postal system… how to address an envelope… where the stamp goes, etc. They are practicing writing letters too. I received the following letter in the mail yesterday: (Just in case you can’t read it… here it is word for word.) Dear Mom, Your the BEST mom ever! You also […]
A county fair… bad food, bad prizes and good fun.
Did you go to a county fair this summer? My neighbor Melissa said in an Instagram upload, that a county fair is the Olympics of People Watching. Oh, amen to that. It’s also the Olympics of Fried Food. It’s also the home of giant food… All. Kinds. Of. Wrong. And if you’re going to eat […]

No me gusta el numero 6.
Scene: our kitchen, after school. Grant: “I know how to count to six in Spanish.” Me: “You do?! That’s wonderful! Can you count for me?” Grant: (in a sing-songy little voice) “uno, dos, tres, quatro, cinco…… stress.”
Chicken breasts.
I went to a charity fundraiser with my friend Jodi last night. We got dressed up… we put on make-up… I spent more than an hour actually drying and styling my 45 pounds of hair… We were lookin’ good. Upon arrival, we headed (immediately) to the bar and each got a glass of wine. We […]
