Prompted by a comment Barry made to one of my weekend posts, I am going to make two separate posts about Girl Scout cookies. After that, I won’t talk about Girl Scout cookies until 2006. The first topic is: Why do Girl Scouts sell cookies? I don’t ask the scouts in my troop to buy […]

Noah gets assigned a Flat Stanley project almost every other year. This is one of those years. He is supposed to photograph and journal Flat Stanley’s adventures over spring break. The teacher’s note of explanation claims that this is a fun and easy project that you just do to document your family’s exciting spring break […]

I awoke from vivid technicolor dreams in full anxiety mode about my lack of preparedness for this new baby. It is a beautiful sunny first day of spring that we should spend enjoying together as a family. Instead I will work a cookie booth at Bi-Lo and stress over whether I need to pick up […]

Jeni asked what we agreed on for the new baby’s name. The name we finally chose was a dark horse that nobody listed when we asked for suggestions several months ago. You can guess, but I’m not ready to tell yet. I’m hormonal, sugar deprived and evil that way. 

Blogger is back! I guess the government got the bugs out of their dangerous blogging monitoring software. Eveyone may now resume their subversive posts about family, friends and life in general.

Tennessee has decided to close the CSA (Community Service Agencies) and give their duties to the DCS (Department of Children’s Services). I know people who now or in the past have worked for both agencies and they are sincere, caring individuals who try their best and I apologize for any hurt feelings this post may […]

The Goober Queen accepted my challenge and posted an Easter egg picture! Anyone else have an egg they are proud of? It doesn’t have to be a belly egg. I’ll post my egg picture before Easter.
