We spent all day outside today, and I am super-tired. Actually, last night I had a terrible night’s sleep due to over-caffeination.  I am such a freakin’ lightweight. I rarely drink coffee and I try not to drink much soda, but now that I’m getting to be an old hag, even chocolate can put me … [Read more…]
Guess who is leaving our household? That’s right: it’s the Barbie Island Princess Head! She has never been a particular favorite of mine, and now J’s decided that she’s ready to move on. She brought her to me saying, “Maybe we could give her to someone who needs some toys. If they don’t mind that … [Read more…]
As you may have guessed, I was not able to make my house presentable and create a quality post before the 4 o’clock birthday party. And now I’m feeling rawther exhausted because I ice skated for about 2 hours yesterday, had people over until 10:30-which-felt-like-11:30 last night, and, last but not least, I managed to … [Read more…]
We’re tidying up for a dinner tonight. If the house becomes presentable before the afternoon birthday party, I’ll try to come up with something fun to share with you.
All hail spring! Wasn’t yesterday wonderful? I was volunteering for our after school program, and when that was over, there were tons of us hanging out at the playground.  We tried to head for home, but M started playing with a neighbor, and when J saw that it was a gathering including several kids and … [Read more…]
Hey, I realized that I’ve done more than 100 posts now! Yay, me. Actually, I’ve been a little bit bummed because after steadily climbing in readership for a while, I’ve leveled off in the last couple of weeks. It’s true that I haven’t been very good about passing around those cute cards, which would help, … [Read more…]
No, neither am I. It’s way too cold for me. But did you realize that, during the school year, places offer the opportunity for some overnight fun? The Children’s Museum of Science and Technology has camp-ins that cost $30/child and include activities, a planetarium show, a light snack, and breakfast. Individuals can come to a … [Read more…]
We spent Friday night at my sister’s. I always say that if I had three times as much money and ten times as much personal style and I didn’t have children running my house, I’d have a house just like hers. Everything is carefully chosen and beautiful. But I have to say, we did provide … [Read more…]
Friday was just one of those days for me. It started with the morning bike ride, which turned out to be too cold. Also, how discouraging do you think it is that my 5-year-old questions my ability to find her nursery school? I have a tremendously poor sense of direction (which, if you’ve read the … [Read more…]
So, it’s my husband’s birthday today. I managed to score a babysitter, but we still haven’t decided what we’re doing. Of course, there’s stuff going on. . . There’s an event called Fat Saturday for the Arts at Revolution Hall in Troy. There’s also a Salsa Social at the Troy Masonic Temple tonight. Proctors is … [Read more…]
