the silent treatment

You’ve not heard from me in a few days.  But, I can’t think of what to say.  Me.  At a loss for words.  Someone check outside to see if it’s raining toads…
Go on, I’ll wait.
I’m selling and buying houses this week, dealing with sick kids and husband.  I have dental appointments and projects to get [...]

Barf bounceback

It was the smell that tipped me off when I opened the door to Eleanor’s room. It took some further investigation to actually find the puke folded neatly into the white comforter.
Ugg. Not again.
For those scoring at home, Saralyn has had it and is OVER it, Eleanor has had it and it has [...]

Happy New Year

We went out to the Hong Kong Market for a food court dinner.  There was a feeling of Happiness, Joy. There was karaoke.  It was as tacky as you could have guessed, but delightfully so. I enjoyed my dumplings and soup, and Tony’s garlic shrimp, and my girls.
Happy New Year.  Yes indeed.

1000 little ways

This morning I took a shower. I know. Stop the presses – Mother Bathes.  But it felt so good.  The last several days of cold have settled into my bones.  In the absence of a hot tub, a shower will melt the ice of January.
Anyway, I was rinsing my hair and my husband [...]

Shift

Saralyn is walking.  She’s been standing for months and taking steps for MANY weeks, but her primary mode of here-to-there has been the crawl.  Until this week, that is.  Now she is actively using her feet to go where she wants.   It’s not pretty.  It’s not quick.  It’s like watching one of those bugs that [...]
