Yeah, it’s a cute pic. More on her account than mine. But this couch has become my bed lately. And not because I’m in trouble…as far as I know. No, with the rampant rotavirus pandemic in our house the past few weeks, I initially was sleeping there for two reasons: to give Maddie and JoAnn [...]

Because of Maddie going to her followup at the doctor’s, I had Mika and Joshie with me taking Sammy to taekwondo today. After dropping Sammy off for his assistant instructor time, we did some errands and also got a snack. When we got back to the dojang, we sat in the car and finished our [...]

Yes, dramatic title. Setting: kitchen table, tonight, as we were doing our read-aloud of Carry On, Mr. Bowditch. The below scenario in which I inhaled a mouthful of water and almost drowned.

Ok, so maybe it’s not that dire. But with the fun we had this weekend with the party, I need some help with ideas. The 80′s theme for this weekend’s party was so much fun…and my birthday is in three weeks. The big one…40. I’ve been asked to come up with a theme. But, well, [...]

We had a blast last night…the party turned out great.
