Gone Baby Gone

October 29, 2008

Yesterday, as the kids and I were returning home after a quick trip to the grocery store, that obnoxious beeping sound interrupted the song on the radio.  You know the one I’m talking about right?  The one that is ALWAYS followed by “this is a test of the emergency broadcast system”.  Only yesterday, that message [...]

Llama Llama Spit At Mama

October 27, 2008

I had a talk with the inclusion specialist at Cassidy’s school today. I’m not entirely sure of what all an inclusion specialist does but she basically monitors the needs of all the special education students and supervises the paras (aides) who work one-on-one with those students. She met me in the parent pick-up area immediately [...]

Twenty-Ten No More

October 21, 2008

One year ago today I turned twenty-ten.  It was tough on me.  Really tough actually.  I’ve had a year to get used to the idea of being, well, you know, thirty’ish.  And I can honestly say that this year the date on the calendar (you know, the one proclaiming I’m suddenly even older) hasn’t been that [...]

Don’t You Hate It When…

October 20, 2008

Don’t you hate it when your mom insists that the oral thermometer couldn’t possibly be right and therefore inserts that *^%#$ anal one when (and where) you least expect it?!  Sheesh.  Give a kid a break whydon’tya? Shelle over at Blok Thoughts is holding a “Don’t You Hate It When…” contest this week and the prize [...]
