First of all, I’m all better. I have a bit of cough left but the mucus overload is tapering off, thank goodness. Secondly, I just can’t get over how much of a procrastinator I am. I don’t like planning ahead and I don’t like doing unpleasant things. I really don’t… Read More
Update!
UPDATE of yesterday’s post: The worst thing about being sick is not not being able to taste your food. It’s having children. Children who need things. Which is all children, especially mine. I can say, “you’re three now, Jasper, make your own Eggo!”, but we all know that isn’t about… Read More
Pass the sudafed
My body aches, I’m tired, and my nose is very stuffed up. All I’ve wanted to eat is something delicious. So I had a piece of Jasper’s birthday cake (cherry chocolate with chocolate glaze). Only I couldn’t really taste it. All I could taste was “sweet”. And that is… Read More
Three? What? How can that be?
Little baby Jasper is three today (Don’t tell anyone that I completely forgot until my mom called to wish him a happy birthday.) I love three-year-olds and it’s breaking my heart a little bit that he’ll be my last one. Except for his yearning to destroy everything we own, he… Read More
Day of reckoning
Today is one of those days of mothering penance. A day to pay the piper. In other words, my day to chaperone Cub Scout Camp. Forecast: 99º and sunny (That’s 37º Celsius, my European friends) I have no tolerance for heat. And direct sunlight just about kills me. Sure I… Read More
Happi Anni
Time to dredge up the old wedding photo again. It’s my anniversary. Number 17 this year. Let me just state a few things about this picture: 1. I was 21. I may have looked 16, but I really was a grown up (legally. Emotionally I certainly was not. But… Read More
Or is it L.L. Cool J?
I noticed this ad on some site I was visiting and it caught my eye. It’s distasteful on so many levels. Obama has asked mothers to go back to school? Really? I don’t recall hearing that anywhere. And why are we supposed to be going back to school? So we… Read More
Zoo-riffic!
I just got back from taking my kids to the zoo. This is all I have to say . . . Texas is hot. The end. By Hildie | Filed under Family, Kids, Texas 9 Comments Share
For your princess
In my constant search for the perfect baptism* dress for Arabella I came across this beauty. It’s silk, hand smocked by Isabelle Garreton (who makes the most drool-worthy dresses. Look at that smocking!), size 12 (new with tags) and it’s for sale on ebay for $9.99. Yes, you read that… Read More
Ran so far away
I pretty much think my treadmill is a waste of time. It’s great that I have a computer hooked up to it so I can blog and watch movies. But the fact is, it’s barely exercise. It’s way too easy to be a wimp on the treadmill. I’ve been riding… Read More
Save a prayer
Ada gives rather long-winded prayers. They’re usually pretty funny, though, and I finally got around to filming her saying one. She’s all about function not form, so she’s not too interested in closing her eyes or kneeling down. Oh well. One thing at a time. P.S. She’s obsessed with not… Read More
