Tonight Loren brought home a friend for an overnight. Not really big deal except that he hasn’t done this in quite awhile. His school is in the next town over and so all his friends are there, which of course means Loren spends most of his time there. So when Loren mentioned his friend wanted [...]

Some things are just too juicy to pass up. I found this bit of fun while skimming over my ex’s FaceBook page. (No, I don’t stalk him. In fact, I spend considerable amounts of time away from FaceBook doing super important things like watching as many CSI episodes as I can before my kids come [...]

The big move is here for wee Caloden. I have no idea how she is going to do it, the thought of scooting cyber bits from one non-existent location to another is way beyond my limited brain capacities, but Miss Cathy is going to uproot Caloden and plant it in a new pot where is [...]

Tonight I was supposed to be in Vail at some fancy house perched on the side of a snowy mountain and gossiping with a fellow preschool teacher. We were going to sip chilled wine, bitch about the fact that our is obviously the most difficult occupation in the whole world and eat all the carbs [...]

Caloden is going through a bit of a growth spurt. Not unlike the pubescent off spring I hang out with on a daily basis, I too am feeling the need to evolve into something other than what I am. Caloden has been a bit wonky for quite sometime and it has been beyond my limited [...]

From time to time there are things I fancy doing with my life both past and present. They are usually silly things like maybe I should have showed off my legs a bit more in high school before I realized the feeling of a post baby body. Or maybe I should have dropped out of [...]

…………….(The above title is meant to be sung to the Wild Thing song.)………
A few days ago I vowed to take the Bread Pudding Challenge issued by Angela of Fluid Pudding. For most people this would be a no brainer but as I am fairly kitchen impaired, it has been niggling in the mid region of [...]

Cassidy’s best friend had her surprise 13th birthday today. Whenever I imagine that perhaps my family is not quite Leave it to Beaver material I think of this family and realize we are totally embedded in the Normal Groove.
