My Child’s Dance with the Dust Devil
(cue Charlie Daniel’s Music…)
Well, yesterday the Devil went down to, well—Not Georgia–instead it visited my son’s preschool. In this case, it was a dust devil.
Ever seen one of these?

Big Brother: Mom! Look! Look what I have on my shirt!!
Me: What?

My Mr. Handyman
Doc decided that he was going to “seal” the windows in our bedroom because at night he could feel the draft from them. I got him the package of window seal stuff from the garage that we bought when we first bought the house and never used. Granted, it was old stuff (about 3 years [...]

Petty People Suck
People can be so insulting and rude. Today I went to the post office to send out some more fellowship applications for my husband. This morning I noticed that he had made a silly error…he filled in the return address on the upper right hand corner instead of putting it on the left. No problem, [...]

It’s About Time!!
My husband is a wonderful man–perfect for me in many ways. We are very competitive and have been since college. We took some of the same math classes and he always did better than me. We took a computer science class and he did better than me. Even though he topped me in those areas, [...]

This Day is Good
I got the boys out of the house this morning. We needed that. I think after my last two Big Brother-Bashing posts, we just needed some time apart. Big Brother goes back to preschool starting tomorrow, so this will work out well this week.
We went to a new workout facility and the boys went to [...]

Ah! Husband Mystery SOLVED (or not) after 14 years!!!
My husband and I I have had this argument while my husband listens flabbergasted for the past 14 years. He is bewildered by my reaction to this and although we I have tried to dissect why this bothers me so that I could get a grasp on what made me so damn angry about it…I [...]
