We celebrated our anniversary over the weekend with an Anniversary Eve Date, but for the day itself, we didn’t do anything special. Instead, there was quite a bit of puttering, laundering, and organizing.  Ever since my recent triumph with storing the games and DVDs, I’ve been attempting to get different sections of the house under … [Read more…]
Someone emailed me today asking about the Capital District Fun Facebook page. Turns out that my link (down on the left column) wasn’t working anymore. Anyway, I thought that I’d take this opportunity to ask all of you to please, please let me know if you click a link and it doesn’t work. It’s like … [Read more…]
Here are two photos among many that I took with the little camera that I try to keep handy. I like to stockpile photos so that I can wimp out and post them instead of writing something up. But then I usually just write something up, anyway. Both of these sort of required rants. Ready? … [Read more…]
We created the Best Pretend Game Ever this afternoon. It’s called “Spa.” Two people flop out on a big bed while a third person alternates between walking on their bed and giving a full body massage. Then the massage-ees flop over and get more massaging. Then everyone rotates once. What’s wonderful is that my kids … [Read more…]
The winner of the soccer camp giveaway is Judy R! I’m beginning to think that there’s a particular little season that runs from about mid-May through the first week of June. It’s when both of my girls feel like they’re ready to be done with just about everything that they do. Their art class, which … [Read more…]
I am so done with this weather. First of all, am I the only one whose entire house is overtaken by the smell of soggy shoes and socks? Everywhere I turn I find something crumpled and cultivating mildew. I have never been a kicky-spring-rain-boot kind of mother. I’m just cheap and not enough of a … [Read more…]
It was an exhausting day. This morning we had Tragic Shoe Drama, because J had a brand-new pair of sneakers, but she chose, instead, to put on the sneakers that I’m embarrassed for her to wear because they’ve suddenly fallen apart (admittedly, they were very old). This stealth drama was particularly irritating because she hadn’t … [Read more…]
I’m slacking on tonight’s post because I’m working on the updated Summer Camps list for tomorrow. It’s a bit of a project. If you’ve got information that I should know about a camp that you haven’t already sent me, please email me right away. We had a good day today including a trip to dance … [Read more…]
So, I felt like slacking off today, post-wise, so I thought that I’d link to a Mother’s Day post I did back when I was doing the CBS 6 blog. But it’s gone. I think they gave up on that venture shortly after I said that I didn’t have time to contribute. . . coincidence? … [Read more…]
Cute W knows it’s always a bad sign when he arrives home to see me drinking a glass of wine while preparing dinner. We’ve become lightweights, so a glass of wine with dinner is uncommon. If I’m already drinking before he’s home, it’s generally because I’m feeling sorry for myself. Such was the case tonight. … [Read more…]
