So Hi, it is me again, Kelly.  Posting for Heather again because she is off jet skiing and doing Lord knows what else.
In anticipation of this post, I went back through all my emails and three years of posting history on a couple of message boards I frequent looking for a story, a tale, an [...]

Heather is camping with the family again this weekend.  Tonight, however, they have apparently hauled the camper into the very backest of backwoods and thus finds herself without means of digital communication.  Because she STILL has not downloaded and configured the Word Press iPhone app. So she has asked me to post for her.  I [...]

I often find myself applying Dr. Zuess quotes to my everyday life, it’s  something I picked up from my mother, Mia, growing up and it has just stuck. Growing up it was not at all uncommon for her to ask me if I wanted my pancakes in box or with a fox, nor was it [...]

This afternoon I spent some time on the phone with a friend who I use as a guage for most things sane when it comes to teaching preschool. She is likely the most patient, most educated and most dedicated early childhood teacher I have ever encountered. Just spending time around her inspires me to be [...]

So far today Devon has said, “Hoooooweeee, motherfucker!”, in response to some sort of commotion in the kitchen involving him being chased by his sister as the dogs barked in stress. Coincidentally, Loren had earlier bellowed the same thing when I pulled a tick from his shin, something he thought was merely a scab for [...]

This is one of those days when I have resorted to muttering my serenity prayer on a near minute basis just to remain sane. I encountered a parent in the preschool parking lot today while I was doing just this and he asked if I was speaking to him. What could I have said? Maybe,  [...]

This was in my inbox yesterday afternoon, sitting there like a mean, fat spider:
Hi Heather,
Just wanted to let you know that Loren did not turn in a country project
for Geography, so his only chance at passing the class is to do well on
the final exam next week.  Please make sure he studies.  Sorry, wish I [...]

After yesterday and seeing a long ago love, today has been slightly less exciting. The super fantastic thing though is that Doug brought me a fabulous bottle of Mexican tequila and a bag of fresh mini limes. And me? Oh yeah, squeezing those green bad bays and pouring a bad ass margarita for Mia and [...]

I am so obviously not one to step outside of my flannel lined box, but there are times when I do and I actually find the outside environment surprisingly kind. Not too long ago a boyfriend from very long ago, my senior year of high school to be exact, informed me he would be passing [...]

My Friday evening purchases:

Single serving of key lime pie, because I know myself well enough that were I to buy the entire pie I would eat the whole damn thing.
A bottle of merlot with a super cute label.
Some lame romance novel where all the characters are the same as every other time period ramance book.

My [...]
