Playing around on the Internet again I found this and thought I’d try it. 1. Do you try to look hot when you go to the grocery store just in case someone recognizes you from your blog? Of course not. People are too distracted by my children to even notice me and only friends read […]

While watching Sesame Street this morning I decided that they should have an episode where Snuffy starts taking Prozac (see how much I need a vacation). On a whim I looked online and found several members of the Sesame Street cast diagnosed. How about Ernie? or Prairie Dawn? and especially Grover! Don’t even get me […]

I want to live in an old schoolhouse. DH thinks that is crazy but it makes sense to me. Our economy is out-of-whack and it is easier and less expensive to build a new building than to renovate an old one. When a factory closes because the work has been sent overseas, people move and […]

I refuse to buy “chocolate” cereal because that’s candy (unless it’s for me, then it’s medicinal), not breakfast. I do occasionally flip out and let someone talk me into “Lucky Charms” or a similar cereal with colorful marshmallow (that’s what they say they are anyway) pieces. I should never, ever buy these. Even the just-turned-two-year-old […]

Because I’m always looking for something to distract me from the excitement of cleaning, I have joined Angie and followed “Genuine’s” lead and gone on a Monday Walkabout visiting new blogs and picking some to follow. Since this was my first visit to Genuine I’m counting that as number one. Second I went to “A […]

I missed blogging yesterday. Oops! We had a nice meal with my parents except for Tommy screaming at me because he was finished eating and wanted to go swimming “right now” and Amy refusing to sit in her high chair. After food we spent the entire rest of the daylight hours at my parents’ pool. […]

Doug posted the pictures of Amy’s second lipgloss application. The first one was MUCH worse. Today we went to see some rescue dogs at the pet store, but we didn’t get the magic, love-at-first-sight that I know we’re going to have when we see our next family member. Then we traded a Sarah for a […]

Finally tried the Picasa that Doug has been talking about for weeks. I let my hair dry naturally (except for the bangs). Amy keeps trying to squish it down. I look like Gilda Radner. Less “severe” though.

My Car Whine Again(part 3 of 3) This is the shortest and last car post. Everyone celebrate (or wake up from the slumber I’ve caused). When I met Doug he was driving a Jeep. During dating he explained that he had a truck forever and when it finally died of old age and exhaustion his […]
