Terrible Tuesday: I will never be warm again
Texas needs to get its act together and warm up. This is ridiculous. The main problem is that houses in Texas are built to stay cool in hot weather. This is great during our 8 months of summer, but right now it’s working against us. Add to that the fact I made a bunch of […]

Terrible Tuesday: Bake all the things
It’s baking day! Pecan pie, apple pie, French Silk pie, and cranberry bread are on the agenda. We’ll also be participating in the greatest of all Thanksgiving traditions: exploding cranberries.

Terrible Tuesday: A relapse
A couple of weeks ago, I announced an end to our hideously Terrible Tuesdays as we dropped a speech therapy session and Sprite’s softball. This week we have to have speech today because of a field trip on Thursday. So while it’s not hideous, it’s still a pretty darn ugly Tuesday. Tuesdays are the days […]

Terrible Tuesday: Behind the times
You know how you get a little bit behind? Just a bit, no big deal. Half an hour max would set you straight. But then you get a little bit behind in something else. Then something else falls behind. And something else, etc., etc., etc. At this point, I’m going to need a new month. […]

Terrible Tuesday: Election Day!

Here’s a round-up of voter guides from the conservative/libertarian perspective. They really don’t like the water initiative. Wherever you are, go vote for something. Participatory government links!

Terrible Tuesday: One car edition
We’ve been having some issues with our van for a while now, but we think we’ve finally figured it out. We replaced the whatchamacallit for $80. That helped but didn’t solve it completely, so we bought a $20 whatsit, but that wasn’t the main problem, even though we needed to replace it. So we got […]

Terrible Tuesday: Breathing room
Last week, Little Miss was discharged from occupational therapy, which means we have an extra hour on Tuesday. Sure, we still have 2 hours of OT, an hour of speech therapy, one and a half hours for orchestra, a softball game, and four hours of driving, but one whole hour! It’s the little things. Links! […]
