What We Don’t Talk About

      No Comments on What We Don’t Talk About

One very cogent and true complaint I see of modern life is how we have this online medium to present a picture perfect life. Fights are glossed over or never mentioned, each child is more picture perfect than the last, and isn’t everything enviable? Everyone is perfectly in love with the love of their life, and everyone is shitting rainbows… Read more »

I had forgotten what happens when I cross Batman, the world’s neediest cat, with my lap. I get him putting alllll his weight on his pointy little feet and digging deep into my chubmeats. I just scared him off with a pained hiss because, for some reason, he though getting a claw tangled in my leggings was a great idea…. Read more »

Om Nom Nom

Smallhausen has pestered me off and on for some time to take her to ‘crochet’ with me. To her, that means going to the pub where I go to Stitch ‘n Bitch; she’s been there once for a daytime fundraising event, but otherwise, she’s not come out since our group moved pubs. So I thought about that today, and with… Read more »

Yeah, I Don’t Even Know

For those who have noted the spider willies with bemusement — I saw it on Facebook this morning and it gave me a chuckle. Well, and a reminder that it’s a constant legit fear of mine, ha ha. If I could stand to sleep with my face covered, I probably would to try and avoid spiders and their willies (or… Read more »

I Never Said It Was a Good Idea

      2 Comments on I Never Said It Was a Good Idea

The persistent headache was carrying on today, and by the time Z got home, I was ready to flee. So I did! I told him I was going to and why — headache pain + children = need for space. So what was my brilliant outing idea? Parking up on the other side of the village to test Z’s theory… Read more »

My Day in as Many Words

      No Comments on My Day in as Many Words

I… survived? Survived the day, somehow. The headache BS continues to persist, but at least the kiddos were pretty well behaved and not adding to my distress. Which is to say, nothing caught on fire, Littler got a nap, and I managed to get work-work done. Well, and more Pokémon, but that was a given. I further managed a bit… Read more »

Ha Ha, Whups!

I meant to write this before I went out, but I forgot. Oh well. Today was our first day back at work-ish. I was home with the kids, as I tend to be. Smallhausen wanted to get her nails painted, and to go out for walks, and all sorts of things. We ended up doing none of the above because… Read more »

Oh Yeah, We Had a White Couch…

      No Comments on Oh Yeah, We Had a White Couch…

Once upon a time, Z and I thought it would be a good idea to by a white/cream couch. Even with having a kid. Two kids and two cats and years later, we had a less-than-white couch. So Z decided he was going to do something about it instead of resting and relaxing. Oh yeah, and he bought some new… Read more »

Competing Interests

I am currently trying to make myself sit down and knit things that were supposed to be done before or during vacation, ha ha. Alas for my knitting, my Pokémon addiction returned to its roots; I’d downloaded Pokémon Yellow for DS Virtual Console the day before we left, and dived back into it head-first. I’m so pleased with it that… Read more »

Home Sweet Home

      No Comments on Home Sweet Home

We are home, and with no puke-based incidents! The littlest slept most of the way between ferry and home, so we managed to put off feeding her until we were safely back on terra firma. I think she was understanding of this, as she tried to sate herself with squash rather than demanding food. But yeah, we made it in… Read more »
