SOS: Please send chocolate!

28May08

Hell itself would tremble in the face of my fury and stress-driven hysteria. The look of pure anxiety coupled with tension strikes fear into the heart of both husband and children. They run from me the way they would run if I was wielding a fistful of butcher knives. But all I’m running with these [...]

another reason why i hate moving

27May08

Because it is so darn inconvenient!  Plus, my husband, in all his well-intentioned and hard-working glory, always messes up my plans.
I had PLANNED to wait until today to pack my handy microwave egg-cooker gadget that looks kind of like this:

Because there was one egg left and I’ll be damned if I throw away one perfectly [...]

the long anticipated moving post

26May08

As of today it’s official. We have an actual destination in mind when we discuss moving!  We’ve spent the last twelve months speculating and dreaming all kinds of crazy dreams. So before I tell you where we are moving….let me tell you where we are not moving! (This is fun, isn’t it? :))
We [...]

Meatfest: Cancelled

25May08

This week in meat: BBQ-a-palooza 2008 has come to an end as SOMEONE (an adult male in my household, possibly my husband) left the BBQ on last night after we cooked our burgers. When we got home at one in the morning from a friend’s house the propane tank was, not surprisingly, empty. Since the [...]

with love from me

24May08

Because I love shiny objects jewelry all of you I am going to share something really cool with you. For Mother’s Day I was given a string of simple beads that I really like. They look like this:

Pretty, right?
Well these beads happen to be made from recycled paper by women and children in [...]

i could go off at any moment

23May08

I was all set to make the official announcement about our move…but the papers that need to be signed STILL haven’t come and because I have a raging case of superstition am cautious, I just can’t bring myself to say it until it’s all official-like.
So, instead, let me whine about the fact that our house [...]

stereotypical

21May08

Something crazy is going on with Kieran these days.  He is cranky and defiant. He screams about every little perceived injustice. He wants to do everything his sister does, even when he is not developmentally capable.  He climbs, hits, and occasionally, he bites.
What is this foul spirit that has possessed my sweet boy?  Two.  The [...]

long weekend fun

19May08

[Edit: I'm sorry if the layout is all effed up here. Need help from husband who is not home at the moment to make stupid wordpress work properly! Check back soon!]
In the spirit of family togetherness we ventured out of London this week and made the trip to Toronto to spend some time with friends. [...]

catch up post

16May08

I apologize for the lack of posts lately. The blog is on my mind but I am a bit overwhelmed with the planning and organization of our upcoming move. I reeeeally want to tell y’all where we’re headed, but until the hubby actually signs a piece of paper, I don’t want to publish it [...]

a line in the sand

12May08

I’ve been wanting to post for a few days now. We’ve been busy with family and it’s been really great to just sit back, relax, and celebrate our accomplishment.  The hubby graduated on Friday and it was a pretty great day, all in all.  He made the Dean’s List and graduated with distinction which came [...]
