Thinking clearly
So, I moved over here and have yet to really post anything of substance. It’s disappointing I know. But I didn’t want to jump into something lightly. For one thing my kids have found this blog. Which I have to say is awesome. They are my biggest fans I’m sure. They sit and read it [...]

It is once again off track time here in our little corner of suburbia. As I’ve mentioned before my kids go to a school that is on a year round schedule. A school that once, all the way back in ‘05, held the proud distinction of being the most populated elementary school in [...]
The Summer of Love
We are finally done with vacations for a while, which means settling into the day to day routine of having all three kids home all day long because there is no school for them until August 20th. When I say ‘we’ I mean me and the kids, of course, because luckily Chris is going [...]
Shoes
About a week ago Leo started complaining that his old shoes were too tight on his feet. Leo has short, wide feet a lot like Chris’ feet which strongly resemble those of Fred Flintstone. This means that Leo’s shoes always start to hurt him on the sides rather than the end when they [...]
For a minute I lost myself
We had a nice weekend, with just Badger home, even though he followed me around talking about video games at a gozillion miles an hour. And we missed Sunny and Leo tons. The days were so strangely…(I want to say quiet here but quiet isn’t right because it wasn’t quiet with all the [...]
Look at the stars, look how they shine for you
I decided yesterday that I was going to quit writing about all the ways in which we have been and are sick in this house. I’m finding it annoying. And if I’m annoyed by it, that has to mean that you all are are down right disgusted. I mean every day a [...]
Favorite quote of the Sick Day
For the last few days I’ve been working on a little painting project in my basement, trying to cover up almost six years worth of nicks, scuffs, and pop bottle explosions with a fresh coat of semi-gloss beige. Because why should I try to clean the walls, when I can just cover them up? [...]
G. I. Badger
My husband Chris and our friend Elliot are geeks. Nice, sweet, adorable geeks. I’m somewhat ashamed to admit this, but we actually met Elliot through some friends that Chris met playing Quake 2 on the Internet. True story. And they are all totally normal people. Well, as normal as [...]
Holiday Card Photo
This is what happens when I attempt to take a nice photo of my three children. I have 20 others exactly like this (photos, not children). This picture is absolute proof that my kids have learned to filter out my voice completely, or else the phrase “LOOK AT ME AND SMILE” means nothing [...]
