I was dreaming of icebergs and eskimos. I had polar bears and penguins nipping at my toes, blankets of snow piling up around me. Longing thoughts of toasty warm fireplaces and sherpa-lined blankets began dancing in my head. I woke up from my frozen tundra of a dreamscape and immediately reached down to pull my […]
Robert the Cat
While perusing The Pioneer Woman this morning and reading her beautiful post detailing the close relationship between her and her Kitty Kitty I couldn’t help but be reminded of my non-existant relationshp with my own cat, Robert. For those who may need a recap, I have explained our decline in this post. The long and […]
Halloween 2010
Okay, so I readily admit that Halloween is over. Completely over. In fact, Halloween is so over that we are now fully able to obsess over a new holiday. Thanksgiving. Ahem. Yeah, right. We all know that according to retail standards “Turkey Day” is practically non-existent, and Christmas, if you’ve visited any Target or Walmart […]
The Pumpkins Barely Made it Out Alive!
After our arduous trek through the wilderness to obtain our Halloween pumpkins we came home with the intent of butchering the little dudes. We set them out on the table to admire our amazing gourd-picking skills and began mentally sketching out the perfect faces. “Whatddya think kids?” Jer asked, butchering tools in hand. This is […]
To the Pumpkin Patch!
This past Sunday my family partook of one of the most popular American holiday pasttimes…braving the pumpkin patch. Sure, this tradition centers on picking out pumpkins to be carved and/or decorated, providing beautiful backdrops for family pictures and offering a wholesome community experience but it also pays tribute to other, slightly less picturesque traits. The […]
A “Typical” Morning…
In order to understand me a tiny bit better (which I’m quite sure you’ve been dying to do) I thought I would lay out for you a “typical” morning in our little suburban household. Now, understand, I have one second grader who attends public school and one four year-old who attends preschool two days a […]
Please tell me you haven’t forgotten about me…
Okay. So, I’ve been a little missing-in-action lately. I have no real solid excuse other than the fact that I’ve had laundry up the wazoo, a voluntarily working-from-home husband who still refuses to occasionally drive his computer-savvy arse to the office thereby refusing to afford me fleeting moments of freedom from staring at the back […]
Jackisms
Amidst the numerous advantages to having Avery back in school is one that kind of crept up on me a bit. I was so focused on the fact that Jack was starting two day per-week preschool this year that I hadn’t really given much thought to the other three days he would be home with […]
Math Homework
“Lord Help me. I’m not strong enough to handle this trial of faith. I feel myself buckling under the immense desire to tear my hair out as I sit next to my child, the math student.” And, it has begun. What almost took me to a completely debased level of myself late last school year […]
Pearls of Wisdom
Apparently, preschool curriculum has advanced drastically since Avery attended 4 years ago. Jack, in his two half-days thus far experienced, has matured beyond my wildest imagination. He’s smart, witty and now bestows upon me little pearls of wisdom. If his current point-of-view is any indication, he’ll no doubt be a CEO of some huge corporation […]
