Have you ever wondered what might happen if you took a toddler who could eat her weight in strawberries to a strawberry patch? This was before the carnage really got started. Carrie stood in between the rows while I picked (when she wasn’t trying to trample the berries and plants) saying “eat-ing? eat-ing?” and trying [...]
Believe it or not, I just finished the first of my hand-made Christmas gifts. Yes, I know it’s only June, and that Christmas is a long six months away, but after last year, where I had so much left to finish the week before that Christmas basically came and went with more relief than enjoyment, [...]
Woo-hoo! Carrie went pee-pee in the potty tonight! (Yep. I just used the word “pee-pee”. Get over it.) This was all because she was stalling before bedtime. First she insisted on using the potty, sat on it for maybe half a millisecond, then ran into her room. When I followed her and said it was [...]
I seriously need to copy Heather’s sign for my front door. My dogs start barking if the UPS truck even dares to stop somewhere on our street. And if the doorbell rings? They feel it is their duty to bark loud enough and long enough to make sure I know that the doorbell? It rang. [...]

Dear Carolyn, Today you turned 20 months. 20! That’s all your fingers and toes added up together! Sometimes we count to 20. You do really well up to eleven, skip twelve, say thirteen, and then the rest of the numbers all sound like “ah-teen”. It’s a good start, though. I blame it all on Sesame [...]
I found out last weekend that somebody had stolen a bunch of Carrie’s pictures, put them up on a web page, and was claiming that she was Carrie’s mom. (Well, she renamed the child and gave her a different birthday, but that’s about it.) It’s been a week of tracking down all the places (discussion [...]
You didn’t really think I’d stay away too long, did you? I’m feeling better, and the thing that’s making me crazy-angry remains unresolved and therefore not something I can/will blog about. However, I have some Knit Sock Kit Swap questions to answer for my pal, and there are things I’ve really wanted to blog just [...]
I’m sick. Like, stomach bug sick. For the first time since junior year of high school. So between that and a few things I have to take care of over here, it may be a few days before I get back to posting regularly. If I do at all. There’s something going on that’s making [...]
Last night I was at my mom’s house watching a movie, and when I came home my purse had mysteriously migrated to the kitchen table. It was quite late, and Denis was snoring loudly resting his eyes on the couch. I woke him up to tell him I was home, and asked why my purse [...]
