O, save me from myself. I am VERRRRY tempted to let my inner passive aggressive beeyotch out to play.
Here’s the background: Daddy J and I go to a fundraiser/dinner/music performance on Monday night. We have a great time. We bring wine. There is a silent auction and I bid on four [...]

So, yes, everything’s actually going wonderfully. Just blindingly fast and busy-like, but all is well.
Rainbow had what is probably the mildest cold ever (thank you, thank you, thank you) and just never got really sick at all. After one morning of a half-hour of icky rivulets from his nostrils, there was just a wee bit [...]

My morning project (which turned out to be a LENGTHY project) was copying old private blog pages into Word, just in case the old blog got closed for some reason. It was quite an undertaking; I didn’t realize how very much I had written. It ended up being, I think, 54 pages with [...]

First up: Ward’s seventh (woo, really…? SEVENTH??) birthday at the park in town. This would be the park where his playground and statue are. This will be the fourth time we have done the cookie buffet and balloon release, and it is a very special day for all of us. It is [...]

Last weekend, the fire department held an ice cream social to raise funds for the fire hall. It was great – the big boys had a ball (several of their friends were there) and there was a huge spread of food for cheap – like, $1 hamburgers and fifty cent desserts. (I had [...]

I was utterly depleted today. Like, sick-feeling sleepy and bummed out. Maybe just the cumulative effect of many 6-hours’ sleep nights, when really, I just need more rest to feel good. I had hoped for a nap when Rainbow took his morning nap, but by the time I’d fed the dogs and put them [...]

When it happened, our porch filled with beautiful bouquets of backyard flowers and wildflowers, arranged in jelly jars and vases, tied with ribbons and raffia, with storebought cards and homemade cards and artwork from kids. It was magical, even during that awful first late-July, to be surrounded by all that beauty and color.
And they’ve done [...]

The Hunger Site is completely free. Donations are paid for by advertisers; you don’t have to read anything or do a survey or anything that takes time. You just go here and click on “click here to give” and it says you’ve just donated 1.1 cups of food to the hungry.

It just seems like a little blur between weekends, you know? I’m not complaining or anything, but it does make me feel like some vaguely confused old lady with glazed eyes who can’t remember what season it is.
My mother and I took the boys to this comedy riverboat lunch cruise, which was really entertaining. The [...]

Plus, it’s really entertaining and silly…
