I love the show Supernanny. You know the show: out-of-control kids are driving mom and dad to the point of suicide, but supernanny comes in and helps them turn their little devil children into snugglicious angels. Even though my main motivation for watching the show is to feel better about my own parenting ineptness (because I would […]
Bad Sales Pitches
About every three months or so, I get a kid on my doorstep trying to sell me something (usually magazines or the newspaper). The sales pitch is always the same. “I’m from a poor neighborhood and I’m trying to earn money for college/gain leadership skills/help my community (take your pick) by selling this garbage” blah blah […]
I am just a bit grumpy
A while back, my mom got DD a cute little Care Bear stuffed animal that came complete with a video. I’ve decided there is a fate worth than death in this world. It’s called watching the Care Bears! How absolutely horribly mind numbing it truly is. I can’t even tell you how horrible it is […]
Sanity Savers
When DH’s employer presented his big award to him, they let me know so the kids and I could “surprise” him. We arranged to arrive during an employee meeting at 1:00 so we could sneak in. But as employee meeting typically do – they went over and by 2:00 they still hadn’t presented DH’s award. […]
More pics
To make up for my odd garden pictures, here are some prettier ones from our yard.
Garden ponderings
I love our garden. But occasionally there are some oddities that I just can’t explain: Why is there corn growing among my romaine lettuce (far away from our corn)? Why are my cucumbers growing in circles? Did Jack lose the seeds to his beanstalk? Holy cow! (My hand cannot wrap all the around this sucker’s […]
Chicken Zucchini Casserole
When I first planted my garden someone told me not to plant more than two zucchini plants, and let me tell you, they weren’t kidding! Our zucchini plants are producing like mad! We’re pulling 2 or 3 zucchinis every day. Since I can only stand steamed and grilled zucchini so often, I’ve started to experiment with new […]
Just Wondering
Why, oh why, does it take me an hour to vacuum the floors?
Schizophrenic Pancakes
We have a Saturday night tradition to have breakfast for dinner, so last night I made pancakes. I adapted this recipe and they were so yummy. As I was making them, I thought how absolutely inconsistent I am. I wanted to make them healthy, so I used whole wheat and limited the sugar, but I […]
Saving the Day
It’s been one of those days when the kids are going crazy. Throwing food on the floor. Climbing on the table. Getting in screaming matches (who can scream the loudest and highest…so much fun to listen to, especially 10 minutes after waking up!). I’ve been running around all morning cleaning up messes, preventing falls and broken […]
