I spent quite a bit of time today trying to figure out how to do various technical things, and ummmm. . . . no time writing. But here’s a little bit of information to tide you over until the weekend post. First, I’ve been trying to do more Friday evening events in the week ahead … [Read more…]
I have both girls home sick with me (strep and ear infection), which has completely thrown me off. M is pathetic and deeply angry. She didn’t want to go to the doctor, said she was fine, stamped out to the car, and then when I was (in my opinion) vindicated by a treatable diagnosis, she … [Read more…]
Another week, another bunch of things to do. Don’t forget all those regularly scheduled events on What about TODAY? Monday, April 26th Get a free pretzel at Philly Soft Pretzel Factory in Clifton Park to celebrate National Pretzel Day (you know, before you go to your special pretzel party and exchange gifts and all. Hey, … [Read more…]
Hey! I’m having a splendid day! Check out this weather, you guys! Awesome! I woke up and noticed that my five-year-old had once again made her own bed and tidied up her room. Then I walked downstairs to find the two girls cuddling and giggling together on the couch. And then I laughed out loud … [Read more…]
Want to have a little nature adventure in honor of Earth Day? If you haven’t already, you should really try letterboxing. Personally, I have a hard time motivating my kids to do a hike. They need some seriously interesting landscape or a crowd of friends in order to stay engaged. But another great motivator is … [Read more…]
You know, sometimes I feel a little bit guilty, because I talk about all of these wonderful things to do, and then I hardly actually get around to doing any of them. When the girls were younger we definitely spent more time going to specially programmed events. These days, if they’re playing happily together, or … [Read more…]
At our house, the weekend went by way too fast. I’m mildly bitter about it, actually. I’m just in a crappy mood. The girls were treating me quite obnoxiously at dinner. And I have a raging headache. But enough about me! We’ve got the Riverway Storytelling Festival and Earth Day and all sorts of fun … [Read more…]
Would you believe that I was about two-thirds through this post when it suddenly disappeared? Oh, man, I was so bitter. Especially since, as I write this thing up, I always delete my notes of whatever I’ve been hearing about. So maybe there are a couple of things that were completely lost. SO irritating. We … [Read more…]
Our last day of vacation before the long drive back. The girls are “helping” Pop make pasta and listening to the adults sputter through their explanations of why all of us are rooting against Tiger at the Masters today. Remind me to hide my Vanity Fair. We are all pretty tuckered out–we were out late … [Read more…]
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…]
