If – Then

If it sounds like someone is tap dancing in the house, Then it’s time to trim the dog’s nails. It’s just so hard to trim them when you can’t see the quick.

being a bad example

I once worked for someone who had a bad habit of making inappropriate remarks to female co-workers. I am not part of the easily offended, politically correct crowd, but nobody needs to know about their boss’s sex life. A female co-worker and I had talked a little about the problem but we wanted to deal […]

Saturday night memories

Sorry about the darkness of the video, but it was just a peaceful moment in time (except for Molly’s repeated attempts to knock the camera out of my hand).

random questions

How did someone talk Jon Stewart into doing a benefit for Autism? The organizers knew not to expect a G-rated show didn’t they? Would you pay 11 thousand dollars to insult Moby? Do you have any idea how much I ‘heart’ that the benefit was for more schools and teachers instead of a cure?

thank you for calling

Memories that come out of nowhere always seem surreal, regardless of how mundane they actually were. Last night I watched Jon Stewart’s telethon and a bolt of lightning thumped my foggy brain. Telethon…telephone…that seems familiar. Oh! I once answered phones for a local PBS telethon. Local groups volunteered for 2 hour slots and I worked […]

I don’t know how people like Philip do what they do. I can’t get more than three sentences written without an interruption or a child needing to be taken somewhere. When I actually brought home a paycheck, I had a horse and pony show that I did with my supervisor. At his workshops for DCS, […]

commenting on blogs

Since I started voyaging beyond my feed reader and actually posting comments like I should have been doing all along, I’ve noticed that people named “anonymous” amd “anon” seem to enjoy spreading hate in blog comments. What is the point in doing that? I like a good debate of ideas, but insulting and name calling […]

can’t have a full house with 4 cards

I like the children to go out into the world and have fun but I miss them terribly when they are gone. I think people have the mistaken idea that things are somehow “easier” when we don’t have as many children in the house. Sarah’s absence this weekend leaves a gaping hole and not just […]

Saturday night mellow music

[audio:http://domesticpsychology.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2006/10/Easy%20Star%20All-Stars%20-%20Money.mp3] Saturday nights used to be spent watching laser light shows at the Pink Palace.

NaBloPoMo

No, not the November activity for people with more than 5 spare minutes each day, but National Blog Posting Month. The idea is simple – write a post on your blog every day and make a comment on someone else’s blog every day. I contemplate my belly button lint daily on my blog, but I […]
