Here are the Danes. The one on the left, that’s the Dark one…the one that runs around this place. The one on the right, the Light one…he belongs to my friend The Teacher and runs around on the other side of the tracks. The guys have been best buds since they were in diapers. One [...]

I don’t think I’ve mentioned it here, but The Longhorn and 2 of her friends have been plannning for nearly a year this collosal trip to New York City over spring break this year. Well, after all that planning and waiting, they are finally there!
They wouldn’t know when this was happening that [...]
Our Boxes
Posted in Church, Friends, Self-image, kids on March 1, 2008 | 2 Comments »
I realized something today. I put myself in a box. I realized that tonight when I took The Boy to a children’s party at church. We’ve been going to our church since The Boy was about 4. I went to a Sunday School class that I absolutely loved. But only because of the teacher. She [...]
Tomorrow…

sometime between 9 and 1, some nice folks from Home Depot will come to my place of residence and deliver to the Casa my shiny, brand new Maytag Tall Tub 24-inch dishwasher with not one, not two, but THREE wash arms. Also in the magical Home Depot package will be a shiny new Ventahood. I [...]
Okay, I was wrong

The Room Mother Lady and her germie sammies and germie kid were not responsible for The Boy’s illness. As it turned out, he has a sinus infection that led to an ear infection. And not just your garden variety ear infection. Seems The Boy has ‘a weird film and even bubbles’ layering his left tympanic [...]
What I Did Today

Yes, today I made a Meez. For the record, that is exactly what the kitchen at Casa de Yub might look like on any given Sunday. Because…I’m on strike. When the new dishwasher comes on Thursday, I think some of those dishes might be taken care of. Not sure, but maybe…okay, hopefully.
But, that’s not all [...]
Thanks, Room Mother Lady!!!

Yesterday was the Boy’s Valentine’s Day Party at school. To prove that I am not the oldest, laziest mother on the planet, of course I jumped at the chance to provide cupcakes for said party.
*note to self – they are happier, apparently, with those tiny, nasty little cupcakes from Walmart. Next time, grab a bag [...]
The Times…They are a Changin’
Posted in The Sub, boys, kids, parenting, school on December 12, 2007 | 6 Comments »
So, ya’ll know how the Sub has been subbing pretty much on a regular basis since she graduated from college with a Bachelors Degree in Marketing and Business Administration and hasn’t been able to land the dream job. She likes it enough that she’s decided that if said dream job doesn’t come down the pike [...]
Rainy Days and Bomb Threats always get me Down
Posted in Mondays, kids, school on December 10, 2007 | 1 Comment »
What a soggy, cold, uneventful day here at the Casa…clear up until the Sub (RCG’s new name) calls me and tells me that her campus is “pretty much in lockdown,” because there has been a bomb threat next door at the high school and all however many high school students we have are walking en [...]

Happy
This is what the Junior looked like when I picked her up today after she made a 95 on her Algebra II test (was going to link you cutely for the story, but the link won’t work, so suffice it to say, the Junior didn’t do so well in Algebra II the first 6 weeks [...]
