Well okay, that might be a bit of hyperbole. Although I could blog without these, why would I want to? I’m sure this will be of interest to about zero people (maybe one), but I’ve decided to put it here so that a) I don’t forget what I did to my blogs this week so [...]
So last fall when I had my what-are-my-kids-going-to-wear flip out, I ended up consigning a bunch of stuff at local consignment events and then buying new stuff at the same. The payouts for these are much better than consignment stores, averaging between 65% and 80%. For stuff I had floating around that was too ancient [...]
Oh, my brain is fried. Happily, it isn’t really required for the laundry folding that I have to do this evening. I’m still working a gazillion hours on web stuff, and I will be so happy when it’s pinned down and I can move on to something else. Today my big project was revamping the [...]
Yeah, okay so the men are supposed to be the hunters and blah blah blah. Well, yesterday I conquered the shopping beast and it was awesome!! Brief backstory (stop laughing. I can be brief if I want to!): Usually I buy the kids clothes for the following year at the end of the previous season [...]
When Georgie and I returned from a brief shopping excursion the other day, we discovered the girls all dejectedly milling about the kitchen. They had wanted to make frosted graham crackers out of Anika’s cookbook but couldn’t find any graham crackers. I headed upstairs to go monkey around for half an hour before dinner prep [...]
You know, I think I like this getting up at six thing. Since I’ve never been a morning person and have a long track record of scowling at silly people who are cheerful before the sunrise, I thought this adjustment would be much harder than it is. On the other hand, this month is website [...]
Overheard this morning: Faithy: Bad Georgie. Bad Georgie! Georgie: No, not Bad Georgie. Bad Faithy. Bad Faithy! Faithy: Hey, I’m not bad Faithy. DON’T TALK TO ME LIKE THAT!! Faithy’s almost three. Not so much of a pushover that one…. Fiendish friend for effusive fun!
Yes, I’m always on the prowl for good stuff to read, particularly if it has half a dozen books in a series (that way I don’t have to try to think up something new to read too quickly), doesn’t put me to sleep, and isn’t a romance novel (’cause, um, yuck). Of course, I haven’t [...]
I hate getting up early. This likely is directly proportional to my enduring love for staying up late. However, with the whole six kids thing and all, it has been increasingly apparent to me that my time is really not my own. When they’re up, it’s theirs. Sure, I got a desk off Craigslist a [...]
After much thought this year, I’m beginning to see the logic of having twelve days of Christmas instead of just one. I always assumed that the twelve days referred to the days leading up to Christmas, but this is not so. They are the twelve days from Christmas to Epiphany, which is January 6th. The [...]
