You’ll put your eye out
My girls are entranced by the Olympics. Every swimming race was met with, “Is Michael Phelps racing?” No, babe, these are the women. Okay, Little Miss just calls him “Michael” and the Sprite calls him “Michael Phelleps.” Whatever sport is showing, we’ll watch and cheer. But, like little girls everywhere, nothing is as interesting as […]

Hey lady, what does crow taste like?
From a New York Times article on Michael Phelps mom, She will never forget one teacher’s comment: “This woman says to me, ‘Your son will never be able to focus on anything.’ ” Yeah, that poor kid. Who knows what he could do if he could just focus? That teacher must be wondering where she […]

If I had an extra $766
I’d totally go on an organizational spending spree at Target and get my kids’ rooms in order*. Alas, I don’t, so I’ll go to plan b. While a chunk of change would make my organization plans easier and more fun, it’s really superfluous. For my girls’ room, the main thing is removing all the excess […]

Suppose
Suppose our civilization suffered some sort of catastrophic collapse. Plague, nuclear war, whatever. Suppose knowledge of our civilization passed out of human knowledge. Time passes. Then suppose thousands of years in the future, some future archaeologist comes across digital records of the internet. These side effects can be minimized by increasing the intake of cigarette, […]

What was I doing ten years ago? ~MTG and I had just gotten engaged, so I was starting out on the “fun” of wedding planning. Five snacks I enjoy: ~popcorn […]

I want to be a homebody!
I’m working out our schedule with therapy and extracurriculars. Until this year, our homeschooling has been very heavy on the home. We skipped co-op last year, had piano and Girl Scout and a short ice skating session. But this year. . . Yikes. Right now, the only days we’ll be staying home is Mondays and […]

Fret not, homeschoolers, etc.
The California Court of Appeals has been sensible and ruled Californians can homeschool. Yes, We Will Survive. In other news, Little Miss, whilst watching the Olympic Opening Ceremonies, drew a picture of the Chinese Flag with the following caption: “Chinese flag. I’m not Chinese, I’m Texan.” Thanks for clearing that up, sweetie. I’m ambivalent about […]

Attention lizards
First, I want to say I really like you. Really. We all do. A lizard sighting is a momentous occasion for the kids. The big guy running on my kitchen window ledge, puffing out his chin? Fantastic! Was that a mating thing or were you trying to scare away predators. Very cool. Also, I know […]

Breathing Space
My sister’s birth experience was not “according to plan.” She had the home birth she wanted, but then thing went wonky and she ended up in the hospital with preeclampsia. She’s doing better now, but she did require a blood transfusion. Needless to say, her milk did not come in right away. Friday, four days […]
