The Appendix: Not to be confused with the appendix
Pin it??? I’ve had a bit of a bothersome belly ache lately. Sciatica? Dislocation due to an overly-motivated workout? Regardless… I’m not feeling right. Off and on. For a few days. Just a nudge of discomfort… enough for me to feel complainery… but not enough for one to feel the need to enlist the help [...]
The Confessional: I give my kids sugar cereal.
Pin itI confess. See this box: It’s a box-o Lucky Charms. I have a picture of it here in this post because I have this box in my home. Folks. Friends… Cast ye judgment aside lest ye cast yon first stone…. This is not the first time I have brought sugar cereal into my home. Alas [...]
There really is a creative (mad?) genius inside.
Pin itI will often tell people I am not creative. I am a WAY better copy cat. *meow* I would say I am far more CAPABLE than CREATIVE. And I am O.K. with that. I can do just about anything… I just need someone to tell what it is I will be doing. EXCEPT FOR YESTERDAY Y’ALLS! My [...]
That girl.
Pin it My girl. Sweet. Compassionate. Maternal. Kind. My girl. I honestly have no idea where 9 years have gone. Plopped right between your older brother and younger sister, you have carved yourself a solid place in our crazy family. You have that laugh… the laugh everyone tells me is simply the best they have [...]
We Use Our Words
Pin itA lot. My daughter and I. The 8 year old. She blogs. Cuz she’s cool. I made her that way. On Wednesday I went with her to a local Young Writers Workshop. There are so many things awesome in that. To watch her love for words and stories… To realize she has this innate [...]
Overheard: Surviving the Substitute
Pin itThere is a certain substitute at my kids’ school that… shall we say… has not found favor in the eyes of my children. {photo cred} On the way home from school today the oldest (11) said, “I don’t think I’ll survive if I have Ms. So-and-So again.” His 8 year old sister offered him [...]
I Want to Walk on The Clouds!
Pin itI remember when I was a little girl. I DREAMED of being able to dance on the clouds. To prance and swoosh and spin in the light clouds. It never occurred to me that were I to step out of a plane onto a fat, white cloud… I would fall to a certain death. [...]
"Maybe you shouldn't drink so much coffee…" she says.
Pin itI was trying on this dress today: Premiered at BlogHer in NYC, August 2010. Thankyouverymuch. My beloved. The entire dress is sequins. And I use the word “entire” loosely… for it is a fine line between “dress” and “long shirt”. Aaaaaanywho. I was trying her on, for she maybe be worn at an event [...]
Project We
Pin itMy daughter Olivia and I are taking on a little project in 2011. Project We She has been bitten by the blogging bug, and… well… I think that is just stinkin’ awesome. I also have seen it as a great opportunity to share an interest with my will-not-forever-be-8-years-old daughter. She’s blooming. She’s open. I [...]
