Apparently I’m the only person in this family who doesn’t enjoy the every 17 years (or something like that) cicada invasion. The humming outside doesn’t bother me but the crunching as I walk across the lawn is worse than fingernails on a chalkboard. Noah bringing bagfulls of shells into the house just adds to the […]
This morning Amy hopped in my bath to make sure I am never, ever alone. She found a mole on my body and spent the next 15 minutes pointing it out and saying “ewww, gross”. I feel oh so pretty now. I know it’s an unpopular mole because Doug had asked my midwife to remove […]
Good meeting followed by quick run to Party City. We are almost ready for the party on Saturday. Noah has soccer practice tonight and my mother asked me to pick something up in the mall for her so there really isn’t time to cook tonight. My mother arranged for me to have a birthday cake […]
My e-mail is down. I’ve done a load of dishes and I need to go scrub the crib (Amy made a really nasty mess in it) but first a pointless meeting to discuss the zoo event. Sigh.
I have typed up all the zoo event survey form results. One short lunch meeting with a few of the zoo crew people tomorrow and it is all finished. Time for some tylenol pm and tv in bed. Lucy (my dog) is doing poorly. She cries when she walks and pants heavily when she isn’t […]
Knowing the murky chicken or egg question that is personality or diagnosis, how can I dislike someone who I know has a certifiable psychiatric diagnosis for the things that make her who she is. That is, her diagnosis explains her behaviors but her behaviors are just too much to bear. It is no secret that […]
The book I just startd reading asks a question that I have asked many times. How often do we label “differences” as “disabilities”? Why is it so easy to diagnose anyone and everyone with something from the DSM? My head knows that the difference lies in ability to function at home, work, school and community. […]
No matter how many pairs of socks are in his drawer, Noah always goes for the red socks. If he didn’t I would think he was color blind based on the outfits he puts together when I haven’t put his outfit together for him.
I don’t love the way the new poll gives results. Does anyone have a recommendation for a better poll service? A better explanation of the poll topic seems called for here. We own 3 cars. The Jeep was Doug’s car. The neon was my car. The station wagon was given to us by Doug’s parents […]
I’ve wasted half the day playing with the new blogger features and templates. I wish I could put that big blogspot ad at the bottom of the page. I want to make more changes but housework first. Doug is coming unglued about lack of income and job prospects. I’m just depressed. We could use some […]
