Amy says
“I’m calling the gypsies to come get Evan.”
Month: May 2006
I went to college for this?
Shortly after Amy was born, someone asked me where I worked and I replied that I was a stay home Mom. They replied, “Then WHY did you bother going to college?” Reading Chaucer didn’t prepare me for reading “Green Eggs and Ham” 6 times in a row. College algebra didn’t prepare me for middle school […]
National Donut Day
This Friday, Krispy Kreme is celebrating National Donut Day with free donuts. I don’t know if we’ll participate though. Last year the manager at our Krispy Kreme (Kingston Pike) was rude and cranky about it. “I didn’t advertise this. How do people know about it?”
Dear Doug

Amy & Gabriel say
Amy’s cousin Gabriel is staying over tonight as Amy’s first sleepover guest. Mom – “Goodnight Amy.” Amy – “I’m gonna dream about Santa.” Mom – “Goodnight Gabriel.” Gabriel – “I’m gonna dream about dinosaurs eating Spiderman.” Boys are sooo different than girls.
