    Kitty stories

    Kitty stories

    Sweet Keaggy is gone, and MTG has very kindly put away all the cat paraphernalia. The house feels empty without that small, inactive cat, but we still have the memories. So here is a Keaggy story for you. In the summer of 1999, I lived in a townhouse with 3 other girls and my two […]

    Hard

    Hard

    It was hard when my cat Keaggy was diagnosed with cancer. It’s been hard to take care of him after his leg ulcerated: rebandaging every two days, weekly vet visits. It’s been hard to see my normally cuddly cat eschew laps and snuggles for the warmth of the refrigerator vent. It’s been hard knowing whether […]

    Incoming!

    We had a boys’ day with our homeschool group today, and I was in charge of crafts. Generally, that’s a bad idea, as I’m neither artsy or crafty.

    Does this little girl make housecalls?

    Does this little girl make housecalls?

    I know I’ve posted this before, but seriously, this is a message my kids need to hear.   With four kids in different grades, I like to combine lessons when I can to keep me sane-ish. Even when they aren’t combined, they are generally doing the same thing in a subject like math. For example, […]

    Terrible Tuesday: I desire bread

    Terrible Tuesday: I desire bread

    My eldest daughter and I are doing yet another sugar detox. I want bread. I want a croissant. And some cereal. And a bagel. And a cookie. But noooooo, it’s all sugary and not on the list. Honestly, if my kid didn’t do this with me, I’d have fallen off the wagon on Day 2. […]

    Too many priorities

    Too many priorities

    I finally got around to getting Little Miss in for her well-child checkup, although at 14 she’s not really a child. It’s probably time to switch to a family doctor for her, but eh, we like her pediatrician, even if she is a bit skittish. Has anyone met a non-afraid pediatrician? I’m pretty sure she […]

    Fine Arts Friday: Sing in October!

    New songs, new songs, move down, move down! We’re still listening to the beautiful chants of Hildegard von Bilgen, but we have our new folk song and hymn for the month.

    400 years old and still relevant

    It’s National Poetry Day, and in honor of the day and apropos of current events, this poem seems fitting: No man is an island entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well […]
