When children are young, April Fool’s Day is silly and fun. By the time they enter middle school, April Fool’s Day is a source of anxiety for parents. It’s not worry about what they will do at home. Febreeze sprayed on the spaghetti. An entire container of laundry detergent spilled on the floor. Nastiness tracked […]
Mmkay, I have said this before, but I am going to say it again. Please explain to your middle and high school daughters why they should not cross their legs when they are sitting on a stage. Unless they are in training to be paparazzi magnets, you are not doing them a service by ignoring […]
I once described Evan as very much like the little boy in Elizabethtown, but nobody saw that movie so it’s a bad point of reference. What if I said he’s a lot like the boy in Catch and Release? Did anyone but me see that one? I can’t explain why, but I really like Catch […]
Tomorrow Sarah gets inducted into the National Honor Society. We’re all going to watch, which means we’re going to create a scene. It’s impossible for our crowd not to draw attention.

How did I miss getting something written today? Oh, that’s right. I was busy dealing with a stressed out husband, escape artists, Tommy’s Chemistry class that he is going to pass by the skin of his teeth (even if it kills us), graduation plans, Project Grad’s LAN area, the ever increasing pile of college paperwork, […]

A man asked the mayor about the “discretionary” money that officials have for making bribes. The Mayor politely offered examples of how that money has been used for good and attempted an explanation of the […]
Amy and I went to the very sparsely attended Neighborhood Night at Rocky Hill Elementary last night. Amy spread her things out all over the floor and proceeded to tear pictures out of magazines and glue them on other pictures to create funny effects. It was sweet, but loud and messy. The yummy mummies grouped […]
I don’t know how, but I have managed to survive on mascara samples for the past few years. Some were better than others, but none drove me crazy. A few weeks ago I ran out and had to actually buy mascara. This one, drives me crazy. It is the gloppiest mess I have ever seen. […]
