Thanks to Sara for providing me with something fun to do!
Each player lists 8 facts/habits about themselves, then tags (up to) 8 more people for the meme.
1. I can’t see well in the dark, and get creeped out walking in the dark by myself. So every night, after we put JediBoy to bed, PisecoDad [...]
I have been trying on and off all afternoon to write a calm journal entry that will keep me from stepping on toes (of friends IRL) while at the same time venting my frustration and throwing out the topic to my HSJ friends to get a little support and commiseration. It’s not easy, and [...]
The meme making the rounds is to type in your name at Google – “[name] needs” – and post the top five results. According to Google, I need…
…to be taken with a grain of salt.
…to do garbage collection.
…your help to destroy asteroids and secure Sector 7!
…to be underinflated in order to make her posable.
…74 [...]
I have much more to say than I can possibly squeeze into the twelve minutes before my part of our bedtime routine. Many thanks, as we’ve all been saying, go to Andrea for hanging on and bringing the site back. I missed blogging and reading your blogs, and I too have been intrigued [...]
The sun and wind were so enticing today… JediBoy spent a big chunk of the day outside. First he played on the porch, where he has a mini “workbench” set up, made of cinder blocks and plywood, where he saws Styrofoam pieces with his plastic saw and then hammers golf tees into them. [...]
One week later, I’ve got my big Mother’s Day present. It’s shiny. It’s happy, people. I have finally made it to the 21st century a mere 7 years late and now have a cd player in my van. (I know, I know, just in time for everyone else to be listening [...]
Driving home in the van last week:
JediBoy: Is the lion the king of the jungle?
PisecoMom: Sure, yep, you bet.
JediBoy: Is there jungle in the grassland?
PisecoMom: (realization dawning) Er, no…
JediBoy: How does that work? The lion lives in the grassland, right?
PisecoMom: (fully outwitted) Um, yes… oh, look! A bulldozer!
Sometimes changing the subject is [...]
A great morning’s garage saling. Not just a nice time, or one good find. Great! Ah, I love this feeling, you know? So often I go out, spend the morning searching and driving, and I find a few things to buy, but I don’t feel completely satisfied. Something’s niggling inside, [...]
We’ve had quite a week. PisecoDad’s mini-vacation (Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of last week) was more than glorious. We took the time, together and in various pairings, to really focus on each other, and on the happiness we can bring. Sometimes that gets overlooked in the hustle of life and we wind [...]
I have only a moment before turning back into Soccer Mom to jot down this conversation.
During our snuggles-in-bed yesterday morning, somehow I got to singing “Yankee Doodle.” I think it was because JediBoy was on my lap and I was bouncing him, so I sang through “Trot, Trot to Boston Town” and “Father and Mother [...]
