Who was the last person you threw out of your life?
I threw a dead hamster out the other day. My kids buried it with full military honors. Quite touching.
Are you wearing any socks??
One on each ear.
Do you regret something you did yesterday?
I may have had plans involving poop that got put off. And poop is [...]
On Friday Ivy’s class had an end of Autumn performance for all the parents. They dressed as scarecrows and performed several songs and poems. It was pretty stinkin’ cute, but I may be slightly biased.
No performance anxiety from this one! She was elbowing boys out of her way to get in front and Ivy’s was [...]
Take by Miss Phaedra…
Stupid, stupid back. Or stoopid, stoopid owner of a tricksy back. Either way.
I had a spasm the likes of which have not been felt since, oh, um 4 years ago, when said stoopid back decided to let me know it didn’t dig the daily 4 hour driving time and 8+ hours of sitting at a [...]

If I’m MIA for a while, its because cold and flu season has decided to bend me over and rip me a new one. I’m sick. Again. Or maybe its the same cold, coming in waves? I dunno. So far the kids have just had sniffles, but I’m achey, lethargic and stuffed up. My throat [...]
Apparently it’s only a month and some until Christmas. I only know this because every store I go into seems to be festooned in red and green and some of them even have the audacity to play Christmas songs.
Please, if you have to listen to that crap, don’t play them until after Thanksgiving. At least. [...]
I find all the crappy poetry I’ve written and then hidden. And now, as to embarrass myself completely, here you go!
Journey
Vast expanse
As far as the eye can see
Wind sweeping, hides the paths we’ve taken
Obscures the view of what may be.
Do you hear me at all?
I’m thirsty, I’m hungry
And nothing fills me up.
Dogged steps of determination
Push [...]
Yep, I got me a shiner. Only, on the chin.
Today, I got in a fight with a bungee cord and lost. (This is probably proof that I should pay more attention-slow down-quit trying to do 10 things at once, or, that I am just very, very clumsy.) Because I am very classy and haul a [...]
Halloween ended with my kids coming into possession of more candy than they can ever possibly eat and me not blowing chunks. Yeah!
Ozzie, the Indian brave. Excuse me, Native American brave. Er, indigenous peoples brave?
Ivy, showing off some Pikachu tail.
Hope you had a good one!
