Did you know that Father’s Day is THIS WEEKEND? I know! First the May long weekend is “early”, now Father’s Day is on the 15th, and I feel like I’m in some weird time warp. Which means, of course, that my father-in-law’s card will be late – as usual – and that I’m scrambling to […]
Can I Handle The Seasons Of My Life? Uh huh.
June 6, 2014 by
Although there are now less than three weeks left in the school year, today we had a PD day. At first I thought it would be nice to have a lazy day at home, but I casually mentioned “renewing our zoo passes” and the kids lost their minds. The zoo! The zoo! THE ZOOOOOOOOOO! Even […]
Sex Ed, Who-Gives-A-Fuck-About-Volunteering, and The Simpsons
June 4, 2014 by
Today I realized that as of tomorrow, there are only three more weeks left of school! June is a bit of an odd month, isn’t it? On the one hand, I’m desperately ready for the summer to begin – lazy days, no more running back and forth to the school six times a day, no […]

May 23, 2014 by
You aren’t going to believe this, but it has been sunny and warm this week – mid-twenties for temperature, with lots of sun and no wind. I know. I know. I don’t even know where I am anymore. Wait, yes I do. I’ve already heard two complaints about the “heat” which makes me despair for […]
Breaking News: Woman Finds Python In In-Laws’ Toilet, Says It Was The Best Visit Ever
May 21, 2014 by
The long weekend was so early this year! We drove out to see my in-laws, and witnessed the aftermath of so many avalanches and mudslides. There is something very unnerving about driving down the highway which is surrounded by piles of rocks, broken trees, and other debris. The water rushing out of random holes in […]
