I just let Rose have the last PushPop, warning her first not to let Henry see it because he’d be jealous. Seconds later she ran into the living room (where Henry was watching Isaac and his friends play Wii) and shouted, “Guys, this is the LAST PushPop.” Grrr. (I should take it away from her. [...]
Me, reading aloud: “Every night at bedtime Mama told him the same story. ‘We chose you when you were a tiny baby because you had lost your first family and needed a new one. We liked your spots, and we wanted you to be our child.”
Rose: “You didn’t say the part [...]
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, [...]

Although I hate to even think about how eventually I’m going to have to think about a whole, whole lot of stuff that hasn’t been getting done while I’ve been on Husband Care Duty, there is one good thing that came out of this past week: I played “Cash Cow 2″ on Webkinz.com enough [...]

The mystery: Two of Dean’s socks were found in a puddle of water in our front-loading washer.
The facts:
Although I had recently dried a dark load and could have left a sock behind in the wash by mistake, it seemed unlikely that I’d have left two matched socks behind.
I had occasionally let Henry push the [...]
Isaac is back from camp. We missed him more than he missed us. I guess it wasn’t very nice to tell him that I missed him most when I needed a new roll of paper towels brought up from the basement — but we also told him how many times, when we were gathering [...]
Isaac: “M____ [his best friend] is going to hate these pajamas when he sees them.” [This was right before M____ and Isaac went to the Clear Creek 5th grade summer camp this week.]
Me: “Why, because they are so loud? Or does he not like those Pokemon?”
Ike: “No, because he’s a [...]
