This week in our house

I’m not really sure how things are going with the kids other than that they seem to be adjusting pretty well. Red’s hand washing has gotten alot better. She still pulls some quirky things, like not wanting to touch a library book after her bath, or open the car door. She has stopped washing her [...]

Things I realize…

…that my man has no problem sleeping in a very girlie bed.

…that my kids are the ones who pointed it out.
…that eventually my girls will just go to bed when I tell them to. Not three callbacks later and two visits down the stairs.
…that I am ready for the kids to be out of school [...]

“but…she’s a gynecologist!”

I went to my lady doctor a few weeks ago for my six month follow up after being cleared from a few years of pretty bad abnormal tests. 
Last summer, I had gone in to meet with the surgeon because we were at that point and he got “down there” and took a look and said, [...]

Stocking up

Back in the day when our id’s were checked less thoroughly and Costco and BJ’s (I can’t say that without laughing) weren’t yet mainstream in our city, there was Fedco. My grandpa was somehow a member, I think because of his business, and he would let my mom borrow his membership card (remember, his picture [...]

Mama’s Day

On Mama’s Day, I woke up at 6am and gathered my clothes and started to sneak out my bedroom door. You see, I’ve been training the girls to not leave their room until the first number on the clock read “7″.
So, it being 6, I figured I could get a shower, have some coffee, and [...]

Am I doing something wrong?
My girls had play dates today, meaning, each of them had a friend come over after school. I am ashamed to say that due to our schedules and need [...]

Tax Write Offs

I came out okay on taxes this year, merely because I didn’t make alot of money and I spent a bundle on this Apple MacBook Pro.
Sad, huh?
I love my Apple MacBook Pro. I love it more than ALMOST everything in my house, almost more than my iphone, which comes in second over my butter dish [...]

It’s my day

Today is my 36th birthday.
My birthday is a funny thing.
I don’t tell anyone when it is. Although Facebook pretty much announces it a week in advance, so my wall kind of smothered my May 3rd art sale announcement flier that I posted. Dammit.
If they don’t remember, I don’t really think about it. I notice when [...]

I ask alot of questions

I tend to ponder stuff, alot of “I wonder why…” things. Even when sitting in a restaurant, on our first date, I asked J why he swished and smelled the wine.
He shrugged and said “I dunno. My sister does it.”
By the end of the evening, I must have asked a few more questions and looked [...]

Classic

I landed on an island this morning off a ferry to see my dear dear friend, who moved here  last year. (I am writing this from her guest room). I literally packed a backpack and my handbag, laptop included, and left home at 8am to drive south to the ferry.  
The ferry had free internet [...]
