No Good Deed Goes Unpunished
You have probably guessed that I am a recycler. After all it’s not like I have hidden my feelings on the environment. Well, as the family is getting bigger, and more active and creative, the amount of recycling we have each week has grown as well. So… I bought a nice big fancy recycling bin for...

Good Lord – The Pressure Is Killing Me!
He said it, “You are really funny.” God. Doesn’t he realize that it is hard to be funny, and now that I know that he thinks that I’m funny I feel like I need to be funny all the time. Of course my husband also thinks that I’m funny-strange not just funny-haha, so that makes it easier. He was reading...

Eating, Not Eating, It Depends On How You Feel
I was reading an article in the newspaper a week or so ago. I wish I could remember exactly what it said. Some scientists had done a survey, and came to the conclusion that women and men eat for different reasons. Women eat and gain weight when they are unhappy. Men eat and gain weight when they are...

Shutting Out The World
Sitting at the library on the weekend I glanced around and saw five people listening to their MP3 players while reading or looking through the stacks for books to read. This didn’t include me – I was listening to mine as well, I like to cut out a little of the distracting sounds while I’m at the...

She Said One Little Word and The Whole World Stopped To Listen
In a little café that we took the girls to for a snack on the weekend we got a big surprise. We were sitting around eating our pastries and drinking our coffee and hot chocolate, when Emily decided that this was a great time to practice her knock-knock jokes. Emily isn’t content to just repeat jokes...

“Why Are You Taking That Thing With You?”
I was putting my iBook into the laptop case to take with me to the library (once again let me say – I miss my Toshiba! – even if it is ponderous to haul around) my husband was looking at me while I was winding up the cords to take with me when he asked, “Why are you taking that with you, you could...

Dust, Cardboard and Memories
I started a project this weekend. One that I have been simultaneously dreading and looking forward to. I started to clean out the basement. Our basement isn’t just the repository of all our own personal stuff, from when we were single, then a couple and now a family. It also holds a lot of stuff...

Frankly, I’m Just Not That Lucky
As some of you may remember my lovely, shiny, new laptop has had a bad case of the hiccups (I think that is the technical term) and I took it into the shop. I have the "no lemon" service plan – if they have to fix the same thing three times I get a new one. Well this is the second time and since my...

She’s Got Headlights?
I pulled the phone away from my ear and looked at it for second before answering my husbands highly inappropriate question about our four year old daughter’s “headlights” “Not headlights you knucklehead, head lice. And she doesn’t have it, another kid at preschool does.” “So what do we do?” “We...

Writer’s Block? Or Just Plain Old Lazy?
I have been trying to work on my re-write, but I can’t seem to get much done in the way of progress, I have, however, sharpened every pencil in the house to a dart like tip. Perhaps it is that my mind is elsewhere, contemplating other things rather than focusing solely on the world of my...
