I have an eye exam tonight. Going to get contacts again, as I’ve mentioned.
Idly…
Brighter blue.
Green.
Bluish-green.
Brown.
Keep the light blue eyes God gave you, vain girl.
Hot pink! No, red! Cat’s eyes!

As a data point, I used to have vivid green contacts, and although people […]

Of the small person sort.
I’ve written before about how Gabe gets thoroughly traumatized when the big kids whose company he enjoys decide to take the pack to the other side of the street. He hates being left behind, but he’s just not old enough to follow them. Yesterday was gorgeous outside, […]

Yesterday was a busy, busy day. It started off with a Tiger Cubs trip to an alpaca farm. Alpacas = available wool, frequently, so I opted to be the accompanying parent for this outing. Unfortunately, no wool was to be had, but it was fun, anyway. More pictures are up […]

Well, I didn’t so much “cheat” on my resolution not to buy clothes until I met my next weight-loss goal as I did just say, “To heck with that.” These days, when I look in the mirror, I’m as bothered by the fact that I look like I’m wearing a pajama top as I […]

This evening:
There’s a program called “Ruff Readers” at the library, where kids can sit and read to therapy dogs. It encourages the kids not to worry about making mistakes in their reading. In Sam’s case, he’s a very good reader, but he’s not all that enthusiastic about it; hearing that the dog […]

You know, in hindsight, I don’t think I’d have blinked about having Gabe be playing with kids when Sam was busy with homework if these hadn’t been Sam’s friends. Gabe considers them his friends, too, in the same way that he considers all toys to be his, regardless of whose living room in which […]

Chat, chat, chat. “Ready for school? Shoes?” Yadda, yadda.
Cook, cook. Casserole, MOPS. Stir, stir.
Coffee, coffee. Chat, chat.
Boom, pants fall down around ankles, no warning. “HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-”
(I could point out that Gabe’s pants are hanging around his butt crack on a regular basis, or that Sam used […]

Sam gets home from school around 4 in the afternoon, at which time we usually do about thirty minutes of homework, depending on the day. Most of the other kids on the street seem to be home around 3 or 3:30, and they’re usually playing almost immediately. Gabe, of course, is always ready […]

I’m having a grumbly sort of day, for no reason at all. Grumble, grumble. My body grumbled through my run, I grumbled my way through the grocery store, and now I’m grumbling over the fact that the day’s over halfway over and I haven’t managed to perk up yet. Of course, I […]

I asked Sam to rinse out his dessert bowl after dinner. He did a mediocre job, then handed it to me with a sincere, “Well, that’s the best I can do. Maybe you, as an expert, can do it better for me?”
He also would like to add that he believes firmly that writing […]
