That's what I'm on - aren't you? - waiting for the news that Brangelina's twins have been born. It's all over the place, the "rumors" of their births. I can't wait to find out for sure! NOT! Read more →

Today pretty much sucked. To-wit: We overslept and missed Chloë's bus. So much so that it was nearly time for Jack's bus when we awoke. The migraine, with accompanying eye pressure, returned. I didn't get to take Sophie to a... Read more →

Ohhh, welllll. We were supposed to go to Portsmouth today for Sophie's 3-year check-up, and we were supposed to go to Jack's follow-up counseling appoinment, but that was before an enormous migraine knocked me off my plans for the day.... Read more →

This one, I stole from Wendy Johnson at WendyKnits. As usual, if you'd like to do it too, consider yourself tagged and let me know so I can read! 1. What was I doing ten years ago? I was 21,... Read more →

I didn't get tagged for this meme at all, but I steal them when I see 'em. This one, I got from Yvonne at Yvestown. Thanks, Yvonne! What time did you get up today? 0650 Diamonds or pearls? Diamonds. Not... Read more →

Today was fun. After Jack left for school, Sophie and I got in lots of quality time. We huggled and snugged and kissed and played and giggled and tickled and laughed and had a good time together, enjoying each other's... Read more →

I started mystery shopping two years ago, for fun doing things we ordinarily wouldn't have the budget to do, and for a little extra money. I quickly found tons of shops in my area (not always the case; depends where... Read more →

What a hectic morning! Chloë couldn't find socks to match her outfit, then she couldn't find her second sneaker and got stuck wearing Sophie's (one size smaller) to school; it's pouring out and we could only find one umbrella... Of... Read more →

{Green for money!} GAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! So incredibly frustrating. Here's the thing: A couple of weeks ago, Chloë got called for a national commercial for a "Z Toys" (made-up name), but they wanted her there that day and did not realize she... Read more →

We didn't do anything today. I woke up feeling crappier than yesterday, and Rob stood watch 0600 to 1800, so I scrapped all our plans to do anything for the hollerday. The kids were just glad not to go to... Read more →

We all slept in really late today after our adventures last night. Really late. Like, no longer AM. When I woke up, I was definitely sick. Right eye matted shut, sore throat, earache, headache... the whole bit. We were supposed... Read more →

Well! This is shaping up to be quite a weekend. Friday did not go as I had planned at all. It started when Chloë and I were walking out the door to go to the bus stop. Usually, the door... Read more →

Well, well, well - guess who was the only person on time to the bus stop this morning? That's right, c'est moi! Everyone else was rushing up as the bus came barrelling toward us. Don't know what's up with that,... Read more →

It's just a suggestion, but when you lend your husband your camera so he can take some shots of the kids and his new car and what-have-you, and he decides to be cute and take a picture of his penis... Read more →

Okay, it looks like Typepad has totally revamped its posting software, so who knows how this is going to turn out? The middle panel of my stripey blanket - finished at last! Onto the third and last panel. Whew. It's... Read more →

I don't care who you are, I don't care how old you are or if you're the grandparent who rarely gets to see their grandkids and you're excited to walk them to the bus stop, but... it's totally uncool to... Read more →
