Practically all of the snow from Monday’s storm has melted, and this is good. We had temperatures in the mid-50’s yesterday and the kids were outside all afternoon—coatless and begging to go barefoot. I see they were not alone in their request.On a bad note, I still feel rotten. Technically this is a good thing, I know, but I do regret that my only … [Read more...]
Checking In
…to say Hello and Happy New Year! It would be great if I could stop coughing long enough to do so, because the cold that I talked about in this post has decided to hang around to help me usher in 2008 with a bang and a hack and a “keep everyone else in the house awake with my need for a good expectorant.”It’s 4:00 a.m. and I’m up blogging. That’s … [Read more...]
Happy Advent!
(The late edition)We are back from a cold (for some of us) but cozy (for others) weekend of goose hunting.Did you even miss us? : )Blogger has stingily let me publish one photo from our outing. We spent the weekend in Rochester, Minnesota, home to the world-famous Mayo Clinic and--at least this weekend--a lot of snow, a ton of ice, and plenty of … [Read more...]
Feeling Social Sunday
Cinnamon Cider simmering gently on the stove Two-dozen peanut butter cookies (minus the one that Mom just snitched) cooling “not fast enough” on the rack Snowflakes then rain then hail and then more rain falling (The snowflakes were by far the most romantic.) Amazing Grace (the movie) waiting patiently in the DVD player. (The theme is … [Read more...]

The Wife: “Hey Sweetie, where’d that Dulce-de-Leche banana pie go?”The Husband: Guilty silence.The Wife: “Oh Honey, you didn’t eat it all, did you?”The Husband: “I had a piece.”The Wife: “You had a piece? There was half a pie left!”The Husband: “I didn’t say how big it was.”The Wife: Frustrated sputters. Indignation. Disbelief.The Husband (sinking … [Read more...]
Where We’re At
Feels like a Tuesday, don’t it? I’m tired and mildly stressed but am going to post anyway. Lucky you.We put in a good day, my stay-at-home scholars and me. Even with an early morning trip to the pediatrician for well-child visits (a triple header, it was, with Joe, Jem, & Angela all being seen), we were able to get back on track once we got … [Read more...]
Because I know you’ve missed them…
Here are a couple of cute kid stories that I dutifully saved while on my break:First, in the “I thought I’d heard them all” category, comes four-year-old Felicity and her plaintive:“Mommy, if I finish all my supper and my dessert I won’t have room for breakfast.”(Therefore she shouldn’t have to eat all of her supper to get dessert. Not bad for a … [Read more...]
I’m getting old.
And this is how I know: I slept in until 7:00 a.m. this morning!Should I call the doctor?Then—to my further embarrassment and shame—when I got to the coffee pot (which is always my first stop of the day) there was a note (which is always where my husband leaves them, because he knows that they’ll be SEEN) that read:Wake husband PLEASE.Which I would … [Read more...]

Destination: Law School
I was drinking one of those funky SoBe “Life” waters you can get by the 15-pack at Sammie’s when Angela came over.“May I have some juice?” she asked. (She talks like that now. In full sentences. Sometimes it’s cute and sometimes it’s just Too Much.)“Sure,” I replied, “Although actually it’s water.”“No, it’s not,” she argued. “It’s juice.”“No,” I … [Read more...]
