Belk’s bites

This is cruddy news. Parisian’s end-of-season sales were the best! Proffitts and Parisian were shiny clean, well-stocked and helpfully staffed. Parisian had the best bathroom a nursing mother could find. Since Belk took over, the quality of merchandise has dropped drastically. The bathrooms are filthy and broken. As for the employees? Well, the day I […]

long day

“How’s it feel to have a wacko for a son? It feels wonderful.” Listening to Tears for Fears “Mad World” Earbuds are even worse without the little felt pads.

Good morning.

Nothing says good morning like a gift from the cat. Yuck. Unfortunately, the mouse gravedigger aka Doug needs to sleep today. We now resume our normal lives and blogging. Except, maybe the cameras will remain up some of the time. Not for 24 hours though. That was just too much skin sneaking in late last […]

Update on yesterday

questions in my head

Do fudgesicles help prevent dehydration? What if I eat them while taking a bath? Why do people go places to sweat on purpose? Since we are only supposed to use water for non-essentials on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday, shouldn’t I avoid laundry on those other days, too? Oh, rats. It’s Thursday. Better go empty the […]

there’s a little black spot on the sun today

The room was hot and sticky, the a/c having become overwhelmed and useless. Doug had the look on his face that said he wanted to go lie in bed and relax. Like the children, he gets over-stimulated by noise and activity. Tommy was chattering about his day in his repetitive way that makes it hard […]
