Jake stayed at school for lunch today for the very first time – excepting, of course, Fridays when the kids have a “nutrition break” at their desks and then are dismissed at 1:10. But today he is at a Lego Club meeting – there IS a Lego Club – and is the first of my […]
The book fair is over. Where’s my corkscrew?
March 2, 2012 by
I was watching Modern Family on Wednesday, dying of laughter at what was referred to as “Satan’s Trifecta”, with Claire, Haley, and Alex all on the same “cycle”. I laughed at poor Phil’s angst as I ate handful after handful of trail mix, wondering how I could possibly still be so hungry. I wondered how, […]
The Anti-Clean Plate Club
February 26, 2012 by
This morning the world is white and grey, snow falling and the colour of the sky perfectly matching that of the ground. Jake has the sniffles, my husband had a cortisone shot in his shoulder on Friday and hence has been rendered the one-armed man (wasn’t there a show about that?), I am running the book […]
Whale Tail!
February 23, 2012 by
At first I was going to do a “Wordless Wednesday” post – does anyone still do that?

Nonetheless, I was going to entitle it Whale Tail and then […]

Here Today…Gone To Maui
February 18, 2012 by
In case you were wondering where I’ve been, I just got home from two weeks in the paradise that is Maui. O-o-almost paradise! We’re looking on heaven’s door. Almost paradise! How could we ask for more? I’ve been to paradise but I’ve never been to meeeeee. I may be a little delirious since I flew […]
It’s the least relevant day…of the year.
February 2, 2012 by
It’s Groundhog Day, or, as I like to call it, the least relevant day of the year if you live where I do. I don’t care what’s happening in the rest of the world – six more weeks of winter would be an early spring; we’ve been having unseasonably mild weather which makes me a […]
