You know you’re old when…

“80s girl” is now a Halloween costume and no longer a fashion statement.

I’m skeeeered!!!!!

Sarah Palin just came to my door for candy. Sob…

Because the sugar is messing with my brain

No, really, no sugar here. Yet. Besides, half that stuff has wheat in it. Seriously, who puts wheat in candy? Twizzlers, that’s who. So tonight, in addition to checking the boys’ candy for razor blades and needles and visible signs of poisoning, I’ll be checking for hidden gluten. Sigh. Sucks all the fun out of [...]

How about another five minutes of chuckles?

I swear, I’m not searching these out, they’re being sent to me.

Take five minutes and laugh

Hope you’re familiar with Les Mis. I haven’t laughed this hard in awhile.

A Wednesday in bullet points

I could write something profound, but why? I have 23 items on today’s to-do list. Two have carried over from yesterday, and all will take actual brain power. I have little brain power to spare. A has picture retakes tomorrow. The severely chapped chin from the last picture has thankfully healed, he has had a [...]

Not a unicorn, but a gnome. Damned gnome.

And it’s done

Note: I was going to write a charming little ditty in defense of Costco after reading Michelle’s post on her love/hate relationship with the place. And then I went there this afternoon and left after paying with part of my spleen. And perhaps a lung lobe. But no gas and no liquor store…darned oldest son [...]

I don’t know what I expected to see in there…a unicorn maybe?

A had an endoscopy this morning. Just checking to see if he has celiac disease. Or a small gnome causing trouble. The jury is still out which it is. But I learned a few things today. A’s stomach and esophagus are just lovely. Gooey and slimey and everything intestines should be. Inflamed, yes, but they [...]

Total LUNAcy

I should have seen it coming. It’s a full moon. Know how I know this? No almanac, no moon charts, didn’t even look out the window. My sons are driving me batshit crazy. I suppose I should be grateful. A used to go a little strange every month and now it’s both boys going off [...]
