Are you gonna write a post about me, mom?
This morning, The Boy informs me that his stomach feels weird. Fever? No. Visible rash? No. Could it be post-nasal drip and he'll feel better after he eats something? Possibly. So, I take the gamble and send him in to school. I get a phone call a little after 10:30 from his teacher telling me The Boy has an upset stomach and, after chatting ( Read more... ) -
Birthday celebration, part deux.
Dinner was not incredibly busy last night, so The Husband brought The Kids up to MG for a birthday dessert. They had cut to closers right before their arrival, but I only had two more tables after they showed-up, so it wasn't all that terrible. At first, The Girl made her requisite request for mac&cheese, but was eventually persuaded to have ice ( Read more... ) -
So what if I'm a few hours early?
Happy 3rd Birthday to The Girl! It's amazing to look back a year ago when she was just turning 2 and see how much she has grown since then. It resonated with me more-so while at the Spring Instrumental Concert at The Boy's school. I was pregnant with The Girl during The Boy's kindergarten year and gave birth weeks before our first experience ( Read more... ) -

$121.00
Is what it costs to make 10 batches of dirt cake. On sale, the ingredients came to about $10.00/batch for a total of $100.00. Then, throw in the cost for 10 buckets to put them in at $1.99/bucket + tax for about $21.00. Grand total: $121.00. Of course, I have the receipts to submit for reimbursement. And, I am getting reimbursed for this. I'd ( Read more... ) -
Let them eat dirt (cake)!
A few weeks ago, the managers were having a meeting at one of the booths. One of the things they were discussing was the aforementioned entry regarding the May 1st protest. The other issue of importance was Mother's Day. It's apparently their 3rd most popular/busy day right behind Valentine's Day and New Years' Eve. As such, I am scheduled to ( Read more... ) -
Yard Sale Results
So Saturday came and went, with relative success, I might add. After getting home from the restaurant at some late hour Friday night, The Husband and I stayed up until 2am Saturday morning with general tidying and pre-sale organizing. I had also been informed on my on-the-way-home phone call that, not only were my parents coming up to visit for ( Read more... )
