A few weeks ago we were all down at the mall and I put the kids in the car while Marc ran to Zellers to grab a few things. When he came to the car and showed me what he got, one of the items was a box of 1000 latex gloves. I said, “When [...]
Baby plays with the toy.
Big sister wants the toy.
Big sister takes the toy.
Baby mad!
Big sister takes pleasure in her victory & baby’s misery.
Mommy says, “Give it back!”
Big sister follows orders.
Peace again.
Until big sister tries another tactic: irritate baby physically.
Just like this.
Luckily, baby finds the new tactic amusing.
And laughter fills the land again. Another crisis averted.
Since it’s too hot for the hair, it is also too hot to be spending the afternoon working with the sun blazing down on me and my files and my laptop in the bedroom. So, I’ve chosen to spend the afternoon doing something for me. And for you. I’ve decided to do a “Hair Retrospective”. [...]
This heat make me want to cut about a foot off of my hair. I can’t stand it — so hot, hanging halfway down my back. But my friend, who is also my hairdresser, says that there will come a time when she may have to say to me, “Dixie, you’re too old for your [...]
Sometimes I wish time could stand still. I wish there were times when we could allow ourselves to be fully engrossed in something — an event, a person, a concept. I mean fully engrossed, with no interruptions. No stopping for supper or for laundry or for other obligations. Just focus.

Marc gave me a $100.00 Amazon.ca gift certificate for my birthday, back in April. I don’t know what’s taken me so long in ordering, but after my very emotional day with the kids and my hormones, I decided to “treat” myself to my birthday present.
Originally I’d thought of spending the whole thing (and then some) [...]
It looks like we have ourselves some pretty nasty Visa bills this month. It seems like it’s been a long month, as my weekend getaway with Lisa (which seems like such a long time ago) was at the beginning of the statement. Add to that a Mary Kay order, $900 to license our vehicle, and groceries [...]
And the last funny of the day comes from some of the first words I hear this morning:
Madeline crawled into bed with us at about 7:30 this morning. She was snuggling with me and I was wearing a really low spaghetti strap tank top, which apparently was a bit too revealing, because this is what [...]
I ran across this blog today, via this blog. This post made me laugh so hard. It’s a bit crude. But it’s just so funny. Good times. You know it’s gonna be good when it involves pregnancy and pelvic exams. Enjoy.
‘Tis the end of a busy, busy day, and all I can say is “Do not build an octagonal deck on a day when you have two whiny children, visitors coming in the morning, a grad lunch in the afternoon, and PMS.”
We’re all tuckered out now and haven’t eaten in 7 hours. The debate is [...]
