My 4 year old son Sam thinks its very funny to wander away from me in a store. He finds it amusing to not answer my terrified pleas. He laughs when I scold him for doing this. So he did it 3 times today. Once at Target while I was checking out. He was standing [...]

A boy’s favorite toy
Sam and I went to the mall this morning to try to find ski pants for me, so I could play outside in the snow without getting all wet and cold. It was a fruitless search.
We stopped for lunch at Chick Fil A and had some tasty chicken. He saw a balloon and asked for [...]

Ah, the memories of snow days past
I remember when I was a kid, as soon as it started snowing, my brothers and I would start getting ready to go outside. We’d nearly be bundled up like Randy from A Christmas Story. We’d sled, build forts, play Battlestar Galactica and Star Wars, pelt each other with snow balls then come inside, freezing [...]

Depression?
I’ve been feeling the same for so long, its difficult to know if its just how I am because of kids, or something else. Depression? Anxiety? I don’t feel energetic. I don’t want to do anything, I make myself do it. Exercise? You’re kidding, right? I keep saying I’m going to walk the dog, then [...]

My issue is what our local council wants each girl to sell, 125 boxes. Say what?! Are you guys living in some kind of sealed environment and are not aware of the economic [...]

Would you care for some cheese with that whine?
I decided today would be clean up day. Not to museum quality, but get the house looking like humans inhabit this place, not animals. Boy the whining and gnashing of teeth started immediately. Caroline can’t keep her clothes off the floor if her life depended upon it. I helped her clean up her room before [...]

Congrats Mr. O!
The historian in me was excited beyond belief today. I never thought I’d see the day when we’d finally get someone other than a white male in the White House. I have great expectations of our new President and his administration. After a historic campaign with a black man and a woman both running for [...]

New Years Resolution, I hope!
I’ve been quite lax about writing. Most days I don’t feel I have much to say, but in reality, I do. I always have something to say. After getting hassled by Hasselbot.com for months, typically 2-3 times daily, I decided today, 19 days into the new year, I’d be better about writing. So here goes!
I [...]
