Is it time to stress out yet?

Posted on May 13th, 2008

Yesterday was SUCH a Monday.   Would it kill a Monday to sometimes maybe act like a Tuesday?  Or (dare I mention it?) a Thursday?  Apparently so, because yesterday the simple notion that it was, indeed, MONDAY clobbered me over the head repeatedly until I curled into a ball and cried uncle. (…)

How we scored a free lunch on Mother’s Day

Posted on May 11th, 2008

All in all, I’m pretty impressed.  I’ve had a really pretty awesome Mother’s Day.  We went to see “Speed Racer” last night (Oy, the seizures that movie gives a person!) so it was a late night.  Nevertheless, Kile was up early this morning and took Evie off my hands so I was able to stretch out and luxuriate in peace.  And I did, for about an hour.  God bless it.  While the boys fixed me breakfast, I took a quick shower and then came downstairs to hot coffee with chocolate creamer, a mimosa, sausage links and blueberry pancakes.  Hoo boy.
