Nope, Not DEAD yet.

It seems like only yesterday that I said I was sorry for not blogging. And here it is 5 months later and I am in the doghouse with you all again. I promise I will write. Kids are fine. Life is good. Eleanor is in Kindergarten. Sara is going to college. Maybe not.

Kid stuff, known in the biz as Jeckel and Hyde

Eleanor can be a darling or stubborn jackass. Saralyn is a tender-hearted sweetheart or a whining monster. Both of them can turn it on and off so fast that it makes my head spin. Beyond that, they intuitively know how to synchronise it so they aren’t the “bad” one at the same time. Baby masterminds [...]

how to find a babysitter…

This is the blog where I speak on not being able to find a babysitter. Dang – what is with these kids today? It’s a simple gig: keep Elly and Sara alive for 4 hours. That’s really it. I will have fed them, and laid out thier jammies. I will have their teeth brushed and [...]

I’m no prince… and other news.

The girls have 21st century paper dolls – these use plastic clothes that cling to the dolls by static. You with me? Think Disney Princesses with cling-on clothes. (I know – Klingon Clothes is funnier). ANYWAY, I’m changing Saralyn’s diaper today – at the AAA office where we were getting passport photos made – and [...]

Redirect.

Saralyn got bitten on the face by another two-year old today. Again. Same attacker.  This has really gotten to me. She’s fine – and I don’t think it will leave a mark, but looking at my little girl with a giant set of teeth marks on her face today was really un-nerving. SO! Let’s not [...]

Kris Kringle Barfed in my Sunroom

It was a Cheer-splosion!  There were great gobs of paper and sticky food and amazing friends and family.  Man alive, what a mess. I blather on about the noise and mess like some old Grinch, but Christmas was a fine time this year.  The day started off  pretty slow just a baby girl and one [...]

Well, this is embarrassing…

I actually really love it when FireFox updates in the middle of the night and wrecks my session while I sleep. It gives me that little “Well, this is embarrassing…” page.  OOps! We’ve forgotten the 3 bagillion pages you left open.  Wanna start a new session? Sure I do. It’s nice the way they take [...]

H1N1

I gots the shot today. I am covered – assuming I don’t already have the disease swarming in my body already. The girls gots the stick in the arm, too. The doctor is concerned about Saralyn’s weight. Too heavy. What do I do about it?

The clothes that make the girls…

I spent the whole morning cleaning out Saralyn’s closets – sorting the piles into Consign – Goodwill and Junk.  I took a whole diaper box of too small clothes to the consignment store, lugged them in, got a gash of a paper cut from the box and found out that they don’t do kids clothes [...]

Weekend Recap

Thoughts, in no particular order, hence the dots. Turtle in the carport. Friday – it rained cats and dogs all day. Hence the very big turtle in the car port. Eleanor got to get up close and personal while the big slowpoke waited for its mate and Noah. It rejected the parsley and moved on [...]
