A perfect end to the day

The girls have been getting along famously lately, aside from an occasional competitive rift that comes from time to time.
Today was one of those days where by the end, they were bickering about who danced the best in their dance class that afternoon or who can brush their teeth the fastest or, gasp, who eats [...]

F’n Snowday

I’ve been waiting for a snow day. Yes, since both girls are in school every day this year, all day, there are days I just want to have them home in the snow and be cozy. Being the end of January, still, no luck for a day off school.
On Tuesday, they woke up kind of [...]

Some of the best places I’ve been

I lifted this idea from here at A MAUNDERER’S WANDERS blog.  This is not a complete list, considering my very tired state, with two kids home sick today, a potential snow day tomorrow (which means two kids home again) and a stuffy nose with sneezing.
Some of the best places I’ve been.

Alternative to Kleenex

Generally, I have little Kleenex boxes everywhere in the winter. In my handbag, in the car, the glove box, the console, the girls’ bags. But this morning we were driving and Blue sneezed and really needed a Kleenex, which I didn’t have, anywhere in the car.
I didn’t even have coffee shop napkins, which is rare.
So, [...]

The other day, I cried

Note to self: check mascara before leaving house, after crying.
Yeah.
I cried a bit the other day and then left to get the girls from school without looking in the mirror. I was doing the “goth” look and fortunately ran into a good friend who warned me about my makeup running down my face before anyone [...]

A Letter to Obama

January 20, 2009
Dear President Obama,
Today I saw the Inauguration on the TV at school. I liked the speech you gave. Here are some ideas I have for you as President.
1. Not let any wars come to America because I heard there was a war in Iraq. It sounded very scary.
2. Maybe make a law that [...]

What I did on Inauguration Day

Back during the election, J was up north at his mom’s house and I was here at home and we signed into ichat on our Macs and watched Obama be elected our 44th president. We were “together” in a way for that and it was really cool to share the moment. Around midnight that night, [...]

I think Ann Coulter is an asshole

I think Ann Coulter is an asshole.
Who needs illustration for that?
I love this single mama and what she has to say about it.  
You can read her blog here at Ms. Single Mama.
Something I appreciate about blogging is connecting with other single mothers. Some of us have dated a bit. Some don’t want to. Some are [...]

I’m talking about boobs again

You’d think I would have a category titled “boobs” on my site, here, you know, for easy browsing.
But I don’t.
Sorry.
Anyway, I was conversing with someone recently about flat ones. Flat boobs, that is.
I was always flat chested, and self conscious of it. I think I wore my first bra when I went to college, merely [...]

My Favorite Things #4

If you click on the “my favorite things” category,
you will come across others I have posted.
I should also title these “things that make me really really happy”.
A trip to the art store to buy paper and canvas. 
 

the sewing machine I have had since I was 13.
I love it because I can make things with it
