I know it’s lurking somewhere there in my skull

My house is clean (kind of — as much as it ever is,) the dishes are done and counters wiped, my laundry is mostly done and folded and put away, my pantry is well-stocked, the kids are bathed and in bed (as of 10:00 PM — the best I could pull off tonight.) I [...]

The last shall be first

My mom asked about the connecting flight we missed (which I mentioned in my last post) and although that story’s from the end of our trip, and I haven’t said much yet about the first parts of the trip, I guess I can go ahead and answer her question.
The connecting flight we missed was on [...]

We’re home

And I’m too tired to say any more than that.

Posting hiatus

I’m rather somewhat very extremely completely busy just lately, so if you see me posting here it’s because I’m procrastinating something else taking a little break. (Which will be awesome if it happens.) I expect to be back to a normal posting frequency (whatever that means) in about 2 weeks. Don’t worry, [...]

May get a little better

A bit of an update:
After Dean got home from work and had read my May day post, he lectured Isaac some — he compared homework to a job where you sometimes have to do things the way your boss wants you to do them, even though you think your way would be better. I [...]

There’s a fine balance between having a life and blogging,

because if you blog everything that happens to you, all that would happen to you would be to sit and blog all day. And if you have a truly thrilling life, you’d never have time to blog it. I tend to lean towards sitting all day and blogging*, but since I’m attacking the [...]

Actually, yes, they’ve found a direct correlation between nerve fragility and number of progeny

I probably shouldn’t tell you this, (although if you have a blog that collects statistics then you already know it,) but I get to see which internet queries lead people to my blog — and it’s heaps of fun. I never would have guessed that slapping up a photo of the two new cabinets [...]

Photos are coming

I’m late getting the kids their lunch and I might not get time to put up pictures from our trip until later today or even later than that, so as a counterpoint to the Canyon Overlook story I thought I’d just mention that we did have a delightful trip — perfect weather, beautiful hikes. [...]

A little housekeeping

I start to feel guilty if I mention I’m sick on here and then forget to say when I’m feeling better.  Today I actually still have a slightly sore throat and a slightly drippy nose, plus the continued annoying side effects from my new(ish) medication, BUT, compared to yesterday, I’m in the bloom of health; [...]
