So I did all the morning crazy-ness. I got up early, I fixed lunches for all my menfolk. I cooked breakfast. Everyone went off to school looking neat and nice. I of course drove the boys to school with crazy hair and dark circles under my eyes. The people in the school office must be ...
We had interesting ideas for Halloween this year. A whole theme with ninjas, and a geisha, and a samurai. But the man's work got in the way, so the grand plans we had were never executed. So we went a different direction. The ninjas (a normal one and a deadpool one) were already ready to ...
Inspired by Waltz In Exile I thought I would share a typical morning around here. What? If you can't think of your own blog fodder, steal someone else's. Right? Our evenings are not nearly as hectic as our mornings though, so here's a typical school morning for you. 6:00 AM - My alarm clock buzzes. ...
I've been feeling overly domestic lately. Baking lots of bread, lots of home cooked meals and new recipes. I'm blaming it on fall, but it's hard to say. I got a breadmaker for $3.50 the other day at the thrift store. I've been using it like crazy. I got the manual for it online and ...
I have to say I am overwhelmed and so grateful for the positive response to the Gaenor pattern. I loved making it, and I'm touched that so many people have fallen in love with it as well. Thank you! We finally finished ...
I am a master procrastinator. Seriously. Always have been. Even before the internet. But today I will use the internet for good. I will put on some cheesy music (thanks to Pandora) and I will clean the house 15 minutes at a time (ala Flylady). Then I will pull up some old Buffy ...
I adore my boys. Truth be told, I don't think I'm cut out for girls. But that's why I'm glad some of my friends have girls - it gives me some girly time, and a chance to buy girly presents. A young friend who calls me Aunt Corrina (which I love!!!!) turned eight. And this is ...
So today I'm sick. And in between general house tidying, shuttling the boys to and fro, making dinner, and oh yeah, all the other normal things I do in a day, I've been sitting on my bahookie. Because the being up leads to sometimes the head moving which leads to the woozy which leads to ...
Ever since we moved to Florida my hair has been changing. It used to be stick straight, but it's been slowly transforming to what can only be described as wavy hair. I used to be able to smooth it out pretty easily, but it's starting to get harder and harder to do. So I thought ...
Our vacation to Minnesota was an amazing success. Despite nearly 60 hours of drive-time, the boys were champs. No fighting, no bickering. They read, they listened to audiobooks, they made movies, they drew pictures. They got to visit with three sets of grandparents, and three sets of aunts & uncles and one pair of
