I don’t care if it’s baby steps or marathons. Just curious!

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 hereby (mostly) forgive Dave all his reluctance to leave voice-mail. I’m not a believer in shooting the messenger, especially when he’s calling not to tell me that I’ve lost my credit card and he’s willing to return it, say, after his shopping spree. No, this is much better!
I’m a pinball wizard, […]

Really, though, it’s good. I like it dipped in salt, like my mom taught me to eat it. I don’t believe I’ve ever managed to make a convert, though, and it’s possible that my family is the only family to eat it […]

I like the mystery nightly weight loss weirdness, where you go to bed wearing PJs that are just on this side of “I can still wear these”…and wake up with them having crossed over to the other side.

Just because I’m feeling silly:

PJs!

Pajamas!

Jammies!

Whatever; I sleep naked!

You are truly bizarre.

(Those will be made this evening, probably.)
Still need to wrap presents; maybe I can get Eric to take Sam out somewhere so I can wrap them while Gabe naps.

Gabe wants desperately to make cookies, for some reason. I have no idea why he’s thought of this, since I can’t imagine he remembers making cookies last Christmas and he hasn’t made cookies with me since then to my recollection. Still, “let’s make Gabe cookies, Mommy!”
And because the cupboards are pretty bare of […]
