The hygienist was certain that she recognized her youthful client from somewhere.Was it the FAO Schwarz store in Manhattan?The Planet Hollywood in Palm Springs?The Hard Rock Café in Houston?Or was it on the pages of some blog that she found when doing a Google search for winter/Minnesota/crabby mom/early morning appointments?It would just bug her … [Read more...]
And while we’re on the subject of needles…
Let’s talk a bit about the little trooper that’s my Felicity.Felicity is pictured above in my new blog header. She is as easy-going and gentle-natured as my Angela, say, is not. When I took her in for her 5-year immunizations yesterday, she took it in stride and didn’t say much about it.She cried, because the shots hurt like the dickens, but she … [Read more...]

A Pre-Thanksgiving Must-Read
Can be found over at Diane’s.And for dear Diane, (who is my cyber-twin, by the way, in terms of temperament), is the following photo:Because all work and no play makes Jem a dull boy!Oh, and lest you think that this picture is a totally idyllic representation of life here in Minnesota, what you don’t hear in the above photo is the slightly prideful … [Read more...]
About Last Night at PetSmart
Every Friday night the boys and I take in a puppy-training course at the local PetSmart.The boys always look forward to this weekly outing with Mom and I enjoy their company. I also truly need their assistance, as I find it disagreeable to make that 10-minute drive alone with Ellie. You try driving with a 35-pound ball of fur in your lap!However, … [Read more...]
