For the past two days I have been home with Morgan and his flu bug. It’s a cute flu bug, all furry and cuddly and in a cage. Nice. But I have been drinking something everytime I got him something to drink so we could pretend we were in an outdoor Parisian cafe. He helped [...]
One of the things we’re committed to doing for our very active children is to give them: 1. Plenty of exercise (“Damnit. Go run a lap around the cul-de-sac before I sit on your head.”) 2. Lots of water (“No, you cannot have pop for breakfast. Are you crazy? Pppfffttt. WhatEVER. No!“) 3. Daily vitamins [...]
I never really liked Tang until I learned the astronauts were drinking it. Seeing as I am old enough to know better, I no longer drink it nor do I want to break the sound barrier shooting toward the stars. Today’s cuppa is a mixture of many coffees: a Kona, Starbucks Christmas blend, and Casi [...]
There are a few people I’d take over my knee when they clearly should know better but don’t do better. Many to whom I’m referring are people in my own profession, teachers who have consistently let me down when it comes to helping my child succeed in school when they distinctly are asked to do [...]
With a sick child home from school today, I have the opportunity to make whatever kind of coffee I want. At 11 am, I am on pot number 2. Both were Kona blends that have been fueling me to cater to his every whim and honestly I’ve been swilling it so fast that I barely [...]
This was bound to be a great weekend with my sisters and there were only minor disappointing moments like when I realized we didn’t have time to shoe. Nor did we end up getting liquored up to the point of revisiting our youth. You know, the time when you learn your limits on beer bongs? [...]
I’m going home this weekend. It’s kind of funny that at 35 I still say, “Let’s go home sometime, ok?” to my kids and husband, but I’m not sure that will change anytime soon because I’ve been saying it ever since I left Chicagoland when I went away to college. It’s Erin’s birthday and my [...]
I’m looking for my Happy Place right now and it’s not as if I’ve misplaced it. It’s more like I don’t quite know where it is. Because work has been so hectic lately and my classes are under way, I am doing what I always do when everything becomes too hard. I’m losing it. It’s [...]
Yesterday was hectic and I didn’t leave school at the end of the day because there was a meeting at 5:30 pm for parents and sometimes I just don’t bother driving home just so I can drive back again. My principal saw how hard I was working and left just before the meeting and returned [...]
My junior high offered a typing class which I took even though my mother taught me the proper way to type much earlier so she could enlist me in some free child labor for the printing business she had when I was a kid. Somehow she was safe from laws against it and didn’t get [...]
