Broken ornament count so far – 8 If Fisher Price or Little Tykes made non-destructible ornaments, they would be enormously popular in our house. Juggling balls are bouncy, but too heavy and Doug wouldn’t let me put a hook in them. Nothing edible would last. Maybe we should just decorate the tree with free aol […]
Evan’s new hiding place I wanted to immerse myself in Christmas crafts today, but I had to make a quick paper clip run and Doug tortured us with a stop at Home Depot. I’m stockpiling my craft photos until after I’ve mailed the crafts. I think this year’s Christmas card picture may be the result […]
I don’t want to eat any more Thanksgiving leftovers. Four days is two too many.

The grandparents napped while the children played outside in the beautiful 65 degree weather. Trees were climbed, sticks were thrown and, of course, there […]
A turkey is a funny bird, Its head goes wobble, wobble, All it knows is just one word, “Gobble, gobble, gobble.” Sarah learned the turkey poem when she was in kindergarten. I tried teaching the poem to Amy. “No mom, our turkeys don’t talk cause their heads are chopped off so you can eat ’em.” […]
Doug and I are a little bit off. We know that. With our crazy glasses, we can see that the whole world is a bit off, they just don’t embrace the crazy like we do. The crazy people who deny their own crazy and negatively judge others are the unhappiest people I know. Doug and […]
Today I am thankful for disposable diapers and indoor plumbing. I don’t think this requires elaboration. Still thankful for: my mother the worrywart & stinky teenagers
