Card Me! 2008-04-24 11:05:59 This vignette was originally published December 21, 2005
We’ve come to this time of year. To send Christmas photo cards or to not send Christmas photo cards?
I always begin with good intentions.
I take pictures of my children through the late summer and fall with [...]
Breaking my self imposed silence 2008-05-09 10:08:39 I’m breaking my self imposed silence
to talk about Survivor.
Since I decided to go underground there have been all kinds of topics running through my head to write about. And I’ve actually thought about writing them but not posting them. But I haven’t because once I get a piece worked up, I’m all [...] Read more:Breaking
I covet a Kindle 2008-06-30 20:00:04 There is no way around it. I want an Amazon Kindle. I want to be able to carry around over 200 books in my purse. I want to pull it out and look at it while I’m waiting for a docket to start or sitting in the waiting room waiting for my [...] Read more:covet
It was an honor to have even been considered 2008-06-27 14:08:36 Where have I been?
Several people have e-mailed to ask where I have been and what is going on. Since the process is almost over, I feel like I can talk about the last few months. I didn’t realize until looking at my blog, it has been almost three months since I’ve [...] Read more:honor
How come what I’d intended to do never matches up with what I actually get done? 2008-07-16 20:37:08 I had a lot planned last weekend. Almost none of which got done. Last week the GirlChild’s legs started looking like this:
She’d been bitten by a tick a week or ten days before. On Friday, when it appeared on her arm, I made the connection. Duh! Mama is slow. It looks like [...] Read more:matches
To Kill A Mockingbird 2008-07-10 20:17:33 I was looking for something else at Wikipedia today and their “featured article” was on my favorite book, To Kill a Mockingbird
. It was very interesting and I learned things I did not know before.
Me trying to see the glass as half full 2008-08-06 09:00:58 Said to David after the BoyChild spilled the glass of chocolate milk on our bedroom carpet.
“Well, I’ve been wanting to see what was under this carpet.”
His glass is always half full 2008-08-05 09:25:03 Said after he dropped a full glass of chocolate milk on the carpet in my bedroom.
“Well, at least I didn’t get any chocolate milk in my popcorn.” Read more:always
Routine Interrupted 2008-07-26 16:23:39 One day last week, I walked out of the house dressed and, I thought, ready to meet the world.
When I went to the bathroom after I got to work, I realized I’d done about half my make-up and called it done.
I don’t have a long routine in the morning. I wear a moisturizer, a [...] Read more:Routine
The Back to School Blues Re-do 2008-08-22 10:30:12 Since I started writing, more than five years ago, every fall, at the start of the school year, I’ve sung the back to school blues.
I’m no less angst filled, but this year it’s a different kind of song.
The BoyChild is starting his fifth school in as many years. I’m hoping it will be his [...] Read more:School

The Dangerous Days of Daniel X 2008-09-11 11:18:43 I’ve never been a James Patterson fan. He is a good writer but I usually have other books that I would rather read. That may have changed with his new novel for kids, “Daniel
X”, written by Patterson and Michael Ledwidge.
Patterson, the father of a ten year old son, wrote a series called [...]
Hamlet 2 2008-08-27 09:38:28 The other day I was driving to an appointment listening to Fresh Air on my local NPR station. I was alone in the car, which doesn’t happen very much, when this story came on about the movie, Hamlet
2.
I’m going to have to go see this move because something happened that doesn’t happen very [...]
What’s in your Netflix Queue? 2008-10-03 14:03:21 You would think, with as little as we go to the movies, that I would have a Netflix queue simply bursting with great movies to watch. Well, it ain’t so.
For awhile we belonged to the Blockbuster monthly movie club. That was pretty kewl. I would get a movie in the mail, watch it, return it [...] Read more:Queue
There’s just no good way to say, “I’m sorry, my kid can’t eat your food.” 2008-09-16 11:51:09 The BoyChild was invited to a birthday party last weekend.
At a bowling alley. Because the Birthday Boy loves to bowl. The BoyChild had never been bowling but desperately wanted to go. The GirlChild, who had been bowling, was invited by the Birthday Boy because she is pretty, hangs around their class when she has free [...] Read more:sorry
