How was your weekend? The boys had each made an adorable card for their dad – Mark’s with a picture of a tiger saying “I Roar You” and Jake’s in the shape of a shirt with a tie – and in addition to a couple of purchased gifts, my husband also received a jar of […]

Tomorrow is the boys’ soccer tournament – Super! Soccer! Saturday! – and I am completely unenthusiastic about it. It looks like it is going to be freakishly cold, and most likely raining, as it has been for most of this week. The rain did not dampen the spirits of a teenage couple who were walking […]

The children have been disagreeing about everything from, unseasonably enough, the appropriate way to […]
It just doesn’t add up.

I seem to have caught the boys’ cold, it is no one’s favourite time of the month, and the sky is dark grey and it’s chilly and rainy. It’s like a trifecta of mildly depressing things. Also mildly depressing is that I am repeating behaviours that I repeat every single June: I listen to the […]
You put the meaning in my life! You’re the inspiration.

I waitressed all through university, except for one unfortunate summer in which I worked as a beer girl, ultimately quitting when the requirement was for me to wear a Busch bathing suit to work. Waitressing was not a bad way to make money for a student; the only problem was that by the end of […]
