Happy Fourth of July

July 4, 2009

You have to love a nation that celebrates its independence every July 4, not with a parade of guns, tanks, and soldiers who file by the White House in a show of strength and muscle, but with family picnics where kids throw Frisbees, the potato salad gets iffy, and the flies die from happiness. You may think you have overeaten, but it is patriotism.

Summertime, Summertime

July 1, 2009

This weather is crazy beautiful. This is summer?
Traditionally, I hate summer. Hate. I find nothing redeeming about dripping with sweat on the way to work, sitting in traffic on the way to vacation and fielding “is it a school day” questions about every five minutes.
But this summer? This summer is [...]

The Best of Both Worlds

June 30, 2009

The birthday party was a huge success. Details and photos to follow…
Today was Ames’ actual birthday. She turned five. Just take a moment and let that sink in. I have a five year old. And she’s not my oldest (sigh, sigh, sigh).
I wanted to make Ames’ birthday as special as [...]

It’s My Party and I’ll Mulch If I Want To

June 26, 2009

I love parties. I always have. And I love that my girls love parties - they’re such great hostesses. They especially love birthday parties!
Fortunately for me, their birthdays are very close. They are 2 years and 2 weeks apart. This means, every June, we split the difference and have one [...]

Your Cheatin’ Heart

June 24, 2009

I want to preface this post by saying that, at the end of the day, I really don’t care what people do in their own personal lives. I do, however, have a hard time with those who would work so hard to mandate what they believe to be moral - especially when it comes [...]

Caterpillars, Larvae and Pupae, Oh My!

June 24, 2009

So when the little buggers tricked me into buying the caterpillar/butterfly kit, I figured it was going to be a snap. Caterpillars into a mesh cage and voila. Only not so voila.
There are steps. Instructions. Rules. And they’re complicated.
For now, the caterpillars are hanging upside down inside their gross little [...]

Doctors Freak Me Out

June 23, 2009

I’m not a fan of doctors. I know that they do a lot of good in the world. But still not a fan.
If you’ve read the blog for a bit, you know why… My grandmother’s cancer, my uncle’s death, my mother’s coma. A few medical mistakes and misdiagnoses too many. [...]

I Got Nothing Monday

June 22, 2009

I’ve been picking my brain, trying to think of some kind of wildly entertaining Top Ten Monday for today. Sorry, kids, I got nothing.
I’m done, kaput, over. It’s been a long week without Chris. And there’s a lot of family drama. Too much.
I thought that writing about it might help but [...]
