We got a bit of snow yesterday and last night. As I was gazing out my window I told my father-in-law how pretty I thought the snow was. How it looks so clean and new. How it sparkles when the sun or moon light hits it just right. He then looked at me and called…

The Whole bunch of Tattle Tails
We are at an interesting point at my house right now. We are some where between being a whole bunch of Tattle Tails and a whole bunch of Take Care of It Ourselvers. Which may not sound like a terrible thing except that we are constantly going overboard in one direction or the other. Shush…
Eyes in the Back of Moms Heads
Growing up my younger brother thought that our step-mom had eyes in the back of her head. He was constantly getting caught for his transgressions. Of course me being 2 years older, and much more mature, I knew that he was just being sloppy and getting caught! I remember a whole week when he stared really…
Scrapbooking!
I like to scrapbook. I rarely do it. Because it takes time to pull out all my supplies, find the pictures I printed eons ago, then match pictures to different papers, and stamps and punches and embossing both heat and dry embossing. I have a ton of supplies to do scrapbooking. It takes time, and…
The Other Saltana
I have known for some time now that I may have made a mistake in naming all 3 of my similarly featured female children names that all start with the same letter. This fact really didn’t hit home with me until last week. My 93-year-old grandmother just comes right out and plainly states “I can’t…
Dear Santa (2)
Dear Santa, Now Santa, you know how much I like surprises. And most of the time I really do! This year you really out did yourself. Not in a good way either. Three out of five of the H family got the flu. Not cool! Even one of my cats managed to puke in…
Dear Santa
Dear Santa, I am formally filing a grievance, lodging a complaint, of filing charges against Billy the Elf. Yes, you remember him. The Elf on the Shelf you sent to us a few days after Thanksgiving this year. Since his arrival he has been lazy and just getting into general mischief. I have solid proof of…
Conversations Overheard
As I picked up Shush and Al from preschool today I announced that Cole was coming over to play with us for a little bit so his mom could run some errands. I overheard them having the most interesting conversation in the back seat of the minivan. Shush announces that she is going to hold…
Cookies Please!
My mom and sister-in-law have been making cookies for the last 3 years on Black Friday. I know to some that sounds like blasphemy, not being out and catching all the good deals. I HATE shopping from Thanksgiving till Christmas. I live a mile away from a busy mall and I have to fight traffic…
Happy Monday
(sung to the music of “Holding Out For A Hero”) Where have all the good gloves gone And where are all the mittens? Where’s the street-wise Hercules To fight the rising odd mittens? Isn’t there a white knight upon a fiery steed? Late at night I toss and I turn and I dream of what I…
