Freak Parade

Um, yeah. So, hi! Long time no blog. I didn’t die or anything dramatic like that. Just took a bit of a hiatus. I’m not entirely sure what prompted it. I took a bit of time off after my entry about getting older was quoted on another blog and picked apart by a bunch of […]

Apparently, this is how The Girl plays Barbie.

Look at Wendy Waters watching in the background. Creepy.

Okay, aside from the fact that Barbie is on the john….is that the ugliest outfit you have ever seen or what? It’s like some kind of 80’s flight attendant outfit.

Okay, so I know I said I would update on Mondays…and it’s Monday….but I’ve been doing this…..

And this….

And about a bajillion of these….

I do have several things I want to get written. The results of The Great Debate with pictures, some things about homeschooling and Asperger’s Syndrome, and the awful thing I did to The […]

Kellypea from Kellementology, ever the optimist, tagged me for another meme. Even though I only complete every third one or so, she keeps thinking of me. Gotta’ love that.

I want to build memories with my kids.
I want […]

As the calendar gets ready to flip to December, I am busying myself…by programming my DVR to record all varieties of cheesy Christmas movies. Don’t ask me why, but I am a sucker for the mushy, fluff […]

Yeah, so I thought I’d keep from clogging up your feedreader by doing the opposite of NaBloPoMo. Forget that posting everyday in November business…I’m a rebel…..I’m not going to post, like…ever. No, really, I just haven’t been feeling it, I guess. Too tired. Too uninspired. Too something. I haven’t even been able to scrape […]

The Issue:
As long as kids have had rooms, a battle has been raging. Parents versus kids. Parents want kids’ rooms to be clean (or at least not a health hazard). Kids want the right to keep their space how they want it (to wallow in their own filth). Will a peace treaty ever be […]

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 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. Around here, anniversaries usually = kid free. Yeah, um…usually. This particular anniversary happened to be quite a bit too […]
