Last night Dean was making himself some ramen noodles, and after putting the noodles on a plate, he slipped and bumped the glass bowl he’d cooked them in into a drinking glass, shattering the lip of the drinking glass. It wasn’t a large part of the glass that was broken, but the pieces were [...]
Well, in spite of the brain fog induced in me by my husband’s being on narcotics not being on narcotics, (which I consider the cause of his tossing and turning all night — he says he doesn’t need the drugs, but does he realize I do need the sleep?) where was I*? Oh, yeah, [...]
I’m so used to finding out I’ve got some new chronic health problem every time I even get within any vicinity of a medical professional that I nearly always have high blood pressure at the start of any exam, from dread. We’ll be going out of town in June and my driver’s license will [...]
I’ve been getting a few hits on my blog of people searching for “Locks of Love,” so I Googled that to see how many pages of results people would have had to go through to find my blog. I’m not in the first 10 pages and I quit looking after that, but in the [...]

One vivacious, smart blond girl’s parents had said, among other things, that she was a “good little mother.” The girl’s face showed that she wasn’t sure how to [...]

Rosie just grabbed my arm and said, “You’re so cute, Mommy!” I was grateful for the compliment; I can use the boost this week. (Then she said, “You be the tiger that tickles the girl!” I’ve read J. K. Rowling saying that she never talked about the Harry Potter books while she was writing them, [...]
Today I got the kids all shod and into their coats and buckled into the car to go drive carpool — and the car wouldn’t start. It had no electricity at all.
I called the school to have them warn Isaac I’d be late, and called my brother who, fortunately, was able to come right [...]
