I made a decision today. I’ve decided that every single time I read some assinine email forward claiming Barack Obama is the antichrist or a radical muslim extremist bent to destroy our country from within or that his uncle was one or that his cousin twice removed once slept with one or that he [...]

Weird things you remember…

I will be the first one to say that sometimes I wind up in the kitchen and have no freaking idea why I am there…did I come for a drink of water…for a cup of coffee…a snack…or maybe to look through the mail for a bill that has gone missing.
Believe me, there are too many [...]
Big Decisions at the Casa

the couple de casa is going king size…and not only when it comes down to mrs. de casa…that’s right…we’ve live 10 years with a queen-sized bed of questionable support. Yeah, we’ve decided that at this point in time of our lives, we deserve a nice big ol’ king-sized bed.
and yes, i have read where a king-sized [...]
summer rules here at the casa…

As opposed to some of you folks who have year-round rules about such things as bedtime and get-up time and things your kids do all day, i can pretty much say that here at the casa, we have none. we are currently on summer mode here…stay up as late as you want, sleep as late [...]

After the spray cheeez draught of yesterday, where i found myself standing at the pantry, doors thrown open, yelling at Bubba and Sissy…. WHO ATE ALL THE SPRAY CHEEEEZ…today we decided to crank things up a bit here at the Casa, when the Boy decided he would like…
Snowcrab legs for dinner today.
Now, we can’t even [...]

this year I have put in a request for a specific teacher for the boy’s 4th grade year.
you see, this past year has been sort of a beating for my Boy, because…
he had a ManTeacher.
not only that, but he had a ManTeacherfromHell…a ManTeacher who has been teaching damn near as long as i have been [...]

way back in the day…back when i was miserable most every day of my life, I used my friends as a sounding board. they would listen to me kavetch about how miserable i was over and over again and yet, never told me to ’shit or get off the pot.’ They knew very well the [...]
Family Traditions, Part II

Sunday Family Movie day, ala The Dark Knight, our family movie of the day…was fun. I didn’t adore it, as that genre isn’t really my deal. I do love that the Boy has already picked out the future family movies we will go see in the coming weeks…and i have to say that not that [...]
Finally!

We seem to have a budding ‘tradition’ here at the Casa. I have worried over the fact that we, as a blended family, don’t have many ‘traditions.’ It seems that this one is going here and those are going there…and we seem to be the place where whoever is left eats whatever we eat on [...]
Family Secrets
Posted in Uncategorized on July 19, 2008 | 4 Comments »
As I have gotten ‘older,’ I have begun to realize that some of my ‘family secret’ cooking secrets need to be shared with these girls who are about to be out on their own…in some form or fashion. I mean, perhaps the Teacher is invited to a barbecue and they need potato salad…perhaps The Longhorn [...]
