I have a confession to make that may make me unpopular or perhaps even shunned from the community. I’m going to take a deep breath and be out with it. Here it is, my dirty little secret: my house is always clean, neat, and organized. Now please stay with me a moment – this is […]
Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn.

As we pulled out of the parking lot at the gymnastics centre, with my frayed nerves and cupcake-stained children, I silently vowed never to host another large children’s birthday party ever again. Truly, I think we are now past the age where I can allow my kids to invite fourteen children and still expect to emerge from […]
If the icy sidewalks don’t kill the elderly, I will.

I am in a mood. A MOOD, people. It’s a good thing I am not armed, or have violent tendencies. And lest we think that this is Daylight Savings Time related, it actually isn’t. Wait, did you just correct me to say that it’s Daylight SAVING Time, not SAVINGS? Well, prepare to be stabbed. I […]

The book fair is over. Where’s my corkscrew?

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, […]

At first I was going to do a “Wordless Wednesday” post – does anyone still do that? I’m so hip to the scene – but then I realized that it’s Thursday, which is great, really, but probably means that “Wordless Wednesday” isn’t exactly relevant. Nonetheless, I was going to entitle it Whale Tail and then […]
