There is a certain substitute at my kids' school that... shall we say... has not found favor in the eyes of my children. {photo cred} On the way home from school today the oldest (11) said, "I don't think I'll survive if I have Ms. So-and-So again." His 8 year old...
It's been a bit busy lately... I recently had someone ask, "So. What're you up to today?" My mind raced... "Do I say I have 2 posts due, a class to prepare to teach, a video to finish editing... or just mention I'll be helping out in one of the kids' classrooms..." I...
Or is it? I hear people misuse the word ironic more than they do not. Is that ironic? But my point... Irony. (see 2.a.) I'm talking about the times I yelled at one of the kids.... YOU! BE! NICE! TO! YOUR! SISTER! I! WILL! NOT! ALLOW! YOU! TO! TALK! TO! HER! THAT! WAY!...
Field trips. Good times, no? Last week I got to drive a group of five 5th grade boys to a field trip. Before my son agreed I could chaperon, he had a few rules: I wasn't allowed to say, "WHAT UP MAH PEEEEEPS?!" as a greeting to my new 5th grade besties. I wasn't...

It's Wednesday. That means, "What to Wear Wednesday." But frankly, I got nothin'. Well, I have a whole folder with links to cute stuff, yet... nothing. But this ring. It's chunky. It's different. I like her. And I think I could win a fight with this baby on. No need...
I made heart waffles for the kids for their Valentine morning breakfast. I realized, too late, that we were uncomfortably low on syrup. In an effort to make it stretch... I let the kids dip their waffle hearts into little bowls of syrup. And use their fingers. Uh-huh,...
I have noticed that "the haul" is quite popular over there on the YouTube. And me, never being one to pass-up a chance to make a fool of myself also be popular, I have made a haul video of my own. The only diff' between me and those other girls is I could be their...
Chores. The biggest not-fun word of all. For years I have wanted to make the uber-awesome-crafty-yet-practical-and-oh-so-creative chore chart for me my children. The smallest deed is better than the grandest intention. Hitherhencetofore... no chore chart. So. The week...
We have a dog. His name is Kevin. He'll be 2 in May. So he's still a pup. A 70 pound pup. When we went to the vet about 2 months ago, he weighed 66.6 lbs. That's the Devil's number, my friends. I have never smelled the farts of the Devil, but I imagine the farts of...
I'm on the spot!
