Freak Parade

The fire is still burning about four miles over the hills behind my house. It is 65% contained and looking better every day. It hardly smells like smoke at all…and we actually saw white, fluffy clouds today! The winds are supposed to pick back up on Friday, so we’re hoping it is fully contained before […]

So I am squeaking this in on the last day. Me procrastinate? Shocker, I know. Her Bad Mother was hosting a contest, encouraging people to post their children’s artwork. I think I may have missed the deadline, but here is my contribution anyway. The Girl actually drew this one last November….but, I believe it holds […]

So the closest fire to us is about 15 miles away, but this is what the sun looked like at 4:00 in the afternoon Wednesday. The gray blob? Not clouds. Smoke. But the oppressive, eye burning smell of smoke had faded a bit, and the winds had died down.
We went on a field trip to […]

So this weekend was our anniversary. Sixty Six years of wedded bliss. We’re not sure whether the fact that we both feel like it has been a whole lot longer is a good thing or not.

I am so frustrated with myself right now. I can’t seem to get a handle on anything. My house is a disaster…and I don’t just mean the clutter of kids’ toys. No, really. You should see my bathroom. And the laundry. Oh, the piles of laundry. Clean. Not clean. Just piles. I have hours of […]

Some things I wanted to clear up about this post….

I, personally, do not believe that Jenny McCarthy is exploiting her son’s autism to promote her book. I truly believe she feels she is raising awareness. (Although, it is not very hard for me to see why many people do think that.)
I do not believe Ms. […]

Lately, I have had several people ask me my thoughts on the whole Jenny McCarthy/Autism thing. To be honest, I had no idea her son even was autistic until it began being plastered all over People magazine and the Oprah Winfrey show. Rather than continue on in my clueless shrugging, I decided to look […]
