I’m gonna tell this story from my perspective, cause it’s the only one I’ve got. And it’s funnier than Tony’s.
I like to think of myself as a leader, a fix-it girl, or the cooler head of the old “cooler heads prevailed” saying. I found out yesterday that, when it comes to Tony, and his personal [...]

I’ll go into more detail after a bit, but, Tony had a car accident this morning.
He is fine.
The car is totaled.
I’ve had a heart attack.

Needed: a little hand holding

OK. I confess. I’ve got three quilts ready to be quilted and none are done.
I want to machine quilt them, but don’t really know how. And, I’m a coward when it comes to messing this up. WHAT? DO? I? DO???
Help…

I thought you might like to see what I have been doodling around with for the last several days:
Here’s a Fish Baby Quilt for an employee of my husband:
This is a Hugs and Kisses pattern quilt: I’ve never tried this complexity before. I usually just make things up as I go. I [...]

If Ash Wednesday is supposed to be a solemn day, why was I giggling in the back pew?
Well, it beats the pants off of crying.
It’s been a busy day, and we all got home for naps pretty late. I didn’t get Eleanor up from her nap until it was 5 minutes past “we’re late!” [...]

Ode to my Breast Pump

Horkensnorfer, come sing your tune.
I need relief, and I need it soon.
The baby’s long been down to nap
and I’m burdened with ever mounting pap.
It’s cone, then star, then seal and handle,
Cap and bottle, we’re all assembled.
The pinch of the initial squeeze.
Then pray for let down, Oh, please, please, please….
Just an ounce or two, till the [...]
Superbowl? What Superbowl?

I couldn’t have cared less about the Superbowl yesterday. My friend Bambi has introduced me to a wonderful tradition of hers: Crowd Avoidance Sunday.
This great holiday coincides with Superbowl Sunday every year, and is marked by a wondrous miracle. It give mere women the Moses like power to part the seas of waiting [...]

Tony, Bambi and I began planning a Friday night out several weeks ago. Sometimes with small children, it is very important to plan ahead. BUT. Remember that old saying about God and making plans? God said “HA!” in the wee hours of the morning Friday. Remarkably, God’s voice sounded a lot like an infant with [...]
