  • Dear, sweet Nate had an "All About Me" assignment for this weekend. He got it out of his room at 7:22 this morning. He hadn't even looked at it. I suspect it was in his room so we wouldn't find it in his backpack and …

  • We went to the park today. I think I took some cute pictures, but I haven't brought the camera downstairs yet. The short people were adorable. There was an older kid who started pushing the merry-go-round. He could g…

  • I wasn't complaining about not getting comments, I was noticing that my arbor day entry HAD a comment but showed "0 Comments" That was clear in the first draft of the entry, but I was too frustrated and exhausted to r…

  • Very strange "0 Comments" activity. I wrote a long paragraph about that, but screw it, it's gone now. I have a thyroid condition. I wrote a really long paragraph about that. Also gone. My super-duper antihistamines ki…

  • Happy Arbor Day! My digital organizer shows this as a 4-day workweek. Tell me, who in the world gets off for Arbor Day? The Forestry Service? (I doubt it.) I wonder if Nate will come home with a cute little twig wra…

  • I've been very remiss in reading my SIR lately. As you know, I've been out of town, been sick, been reading up on new things I never even heard of ... but I finally started my classic "pick a person, catch up on THAT pe…

  • Whaddaya think about that? I think it's nifty.Or this?Cafffeeeeeiiiinneee. I have become truly addicted. I resisted it for 28 ½ years. I neeeeed my coffee/cocoa/pop in the mornings. Not good. This mommy is not all…

  • I just polished up and made public an entry written on Sunday, just to let you know. I've been SO tired lately. I don't know if I've caught something, if I'm letting potential stress get to me, or what. I slept through…

  • Another penis entryI've looked around at a little more circumcision information, but I must admit, some of the fire has gone out of that issue for me. I have more pressing issues. Were I to become pregnant again, this …

  • I am so, so tired of getting email warnings about HIV needles in gas pump handles, creeps with ether trying to get women to "smell this perfume", and other such urban legends. I just now got one from a friend of mine wh…

  • We went for the EEG this morning. We kept Andrew up til 9 last night (one hour) and got him up at 4:30 this morning (two hours). I kept wondering if 3 hours was even going to be enough. When we got to the hospital I k…

  • OK, I'm probably tired and easily amused... I just saw a funny Mountain Dew commercial. It has a guy in a kayak who pauses for a Dew break. We see the green glint in the water. Something ominous is down there. Schoo…

  • I am falling apart. No really. I still haven't finished the lawn because my hip has been acting strange since this weekend. I have spots in my back that feel all out of whack. I have a rash on my hands that is unrela…

  • Grandma came to get Nate for music/Karate. She looked around before backing out of the driveway and said, "Nate, can you see Neighborboy?" Nate looked around. "No. If you run over him, you'll see the bloody mark on t…

  • 10:10:08 [----] FredPie:I went back to bed this morning from about 8:40 - 10:00. It felt good ... until I dreamed Nate was in the bathroom crying his eyes out while I lay outside on the lawn .... 10:10:21 [----] FredPie…

  • Today we cleaned out the garage. Now before you applaud too loudly, it still has a lot of useless stuff in it, but it now has LESS useless stuff in it. Like the little pink bike that was here when I moved in. Or the g…

  • Friday I went to see the counselor to whom we took Nate about his discipline stuff at school. (Only one written warning in 2 months, it's an improvement!) She had also been called in by the preschool to observe Andrew.…

  • Whoops, I Posted this friday noonish, and forgot to make it public or update the timestamp, so here we are. Sheesh, where IS my brain? Apparently they were thinking about it too. I saw this link on Wednesday night, bu…

  • Warning! Total change of tone aheadWhy do we modify our babies' genitals? Most (if not all) of the American men and boys I know have had their foreskins removed as a "normal" thing shortly after birth. They're not Je…

  • I have a jar of these in my fridge. You have GOT to see my front porch. I've lost my marbles and stripped and sanded that bugger. I have sore muscles from head to toe. No, my toes are actually OK. Mostly it's my tus…

  • Remember the guy who ran into me on the ice several weeks ago? We met again today. He asked me if my van was fixed. I said, "Good as new," although there's one small thing to be finished on monday. Then he said, "Sta…

  • Happy April 1!.
