Took our family and several girl scouts to the circus. Except for the cost of the food there we had a great time. Amy loved the first half. She was so overtired that she spent the second half trying to leave. Doug was a little short-tempered at the interruptions to his show and Tommy was […]

Noah came home complaining of a headache but full of energy. We dragged Amy and Noah to Tommy’s school for a two and a half hour meeting. The children played happily, then they got restless. Amy stripped down to her diaper and pooped. You would think the smell would have sped up the meeting but […]

We need to leave in 20 minutes. I’m not ready and the spring ant invasion has begun on a day when we have sleepover guests. Argh!

It is “I have a complaint” zoo member’s day to annoy me. I know this because I haven’t finished reading her e-mails this morning and I am watching more pour into my box. If I stopped the morning read-and-reply long enugh to take a bath I would come back to complaints that I wasn’t answering […]

Didn’t get the evidence the easy way. Now I have to start making phone calls. This is where it gets tricky and dangerous.

A nasty rumor was spreading about how a child is being treated in a local school yesterday. Today I found out that it is the school where two of my children attend. Now I’m obsessed with getting to the bottom of this. Heading over to the school now to start questioning people.
