Tank You Very Much
I’m going to diverge wildly and focus on the pet situation around our house. Once upon a time, our pet family consisted of 3 cats. Sadly, due to age, we’re down to one. A few years ago, Felix expressed the idea of having some fish in his room, so Santa brought him a 5 gallon tank. His MyMom (me, of course) took him to the pet store where he chose 2 goldfish and a snail. He named them Big Jeffry,…

To Eat Their Own
This is going to be one of those ADHD posts, which has been one of my most common threads throughout this blog. In case you somehow missed it, I’m the mom of 2 ADHD kids (and the wife of an ADHD husband). ADHD is one of those things that make things a bit more complicated than perhaps you’d find in non-ADHD households. I truly did not understand the impact that ADHD could have on the person with…

Things Aren't Always What They Theme
Things Aren’t Always What They Theme
So I’m trying to get back into blogging. Look at me. This is the 3rd one in a week! No, seriously. This is one of those exercises whereby I hope to pull my creativity and energy up by their bootstraps. Sitting down to write about stuff channels a different part of my brain and allows me to remember things that might not have seemed important at the time, but were nonetheless. I want to go back…

Trip Van Winkle
Lest you think all I ever do is bitch and moan, which going back through my past 5-6 posts, I could understand why, I did want to start sharing other stuff. We have actually been out and about in the world, trying to make up for lost time and the opportunities for new experiences we lost during COVID. We just went and saw Stomp. I didn’t even know it was still touring. The kids loved it! We…

Tape Expectations (or Waist Not, Want Not)
I need to share my Friday night with y’all. I don’t know if it will make you feel amused, angry, sad, or some combination of the three. I’m still sort of trying to figure out my own feelings on the matter.So it was Friday – yesterday – after the hell of yet another flooded carpool. I swear, someone somewhere disturbed a tomb or stole an idol doll and the spirits are PISSED. Carpool is downright…

Here Are Some Deep Seething Exercises
I’m not sure why I’m posting this today, exactly, only that it’s one of those times where I feel like if I don’t spew some of this out I’ll burst. Here’s Felix demonstrating his feelings about the state of things So what’s been going on? Well, to summarize, COVID raged through my kids’ summer camp at the end of June. They didn’t even make it 2 weeks before it happened. First, it was Felix’s…

Note to Selfie
Greetings, salutations, whatever. Things have been a struggle lately. I’m not going to lie. First it was trying to get used to the idea of everything being back to “normal” so very, very suddenly. So many people, so much talking. I don’t know about y’all, but that has been hard. And what about the 180 degree about-face? We went from creeping around behind masks and wiping down our groceries to…

Better Isolate Than Never
Reentry continues. Maybe it’s just me, but I’m seriously struggling with being around so many people. I don’t hear about any studies looking at that, but it’s a damn thing. We’ve all been isolated for a year or so, and it’s now kind of creepy and irritating to be out with the heaving masses. I had to fly recently due to a death in the family, and while logically I knew I was as safe as possible…

Lettuce Shop of Horrors
So how are y’all doing? It’s been challenging, thinking about a blog during all this. I had a one-year anniversary of our lockdown post all mapped out in my mind. I even had a title, “Lend Me Your Years,” but then I ended up getting my vaccine on that very day: March 13th. That was a surreal day. I got the Johnson and Johnson, so one and done. And fortunately for me, I’ve not clotted. That’s…

The Luck Stops Here
Y’all know I’m a science-type person. I pretty much always scoff at superstition, “old wive’s tales” (with the caveat that those wise ladies often knew what the hell they were talking about, even if they didn’t have the fancy jargon and data to explain it properly), and generally anything not measurable by modern technology. All that being said, I’m taking no chances right now. After the…

These Roots Are Made For Walking
No, this isn’t a post about poor hair upkeep. I’ve long since given up on that and embraced the gray. This is a post about my annual Christmas aftermath. I adore Christmas. I’m one of these people that does a lot of gift acquiring early and always is fully decorated no later than the end of Thanksgiving weekend. This year, I even started putting some odds and ends up earlier than that, as we…

There’s Snow Place Like Home
Since it’s officially December, I suppose we can get into full Christmas mode without pissing anyone off. I’ve been racking my brain trying to figure out fun and special things to do to round out a rather un-fun – albeit special year. And in case it’s not obvious, in this instance, special doesn’t mean good. It’s the opposite… kind of like when Hitler was chosen as Time Magazine’s Man of the…

Bleeding the Witness
Do y’all remember the Noid from the Domino’s Pizza ads in the 1980’s? Avoid the Noid and all that. I guess the promise was if you chose Domino’s, you wouldn’t be annoyed by late pizza. If you’re a Gen Y, Gen Z, or Millennial, you won’t remember that and it sounds stupid. It was. But it’s really the perfect introduction into a description of my morning. Stella was exposed to a known positive…

Weird and Loathing
Like everyone, we’re gearing up for Thanksgiving. Obviously it won’t be quite like the Thanksgivings of the past. That’s ok. I’m trying to make that ok. Last year, we were at the beach with my mom and stepdad. It was probably the best week I’ve ever spent at the beach, and it was definitely my best Thanksgiving. That’s been one of my COVID “if I had a time machine” touchpoints.
Stella is…

Bubble or Nothing Yes, I'm still here. The COVID hasn't gotten me, nor has the latest 16 or so hurricanes we've had around here.
Themes Like Old Times
So things continue along, and things continue to be strange.
This has been Christmas in July Week at my house, as I love a good theme week. It has been the most successful theme week so far, although Japan Week kicked some serious ass. There is a small tree in the living room. We’ve made air-dry clay ornaments. We’ve watched A Christmas Story, the Grinch (original), and Charlie Brown. There may…

A Little Pickle In Your Throat
I’ve been wanting to write. Truly. But what in the world can I say?
2020 has been beyond surreal. It’s already/only July. I’ve got nothing major to report, which I suppose is a very good thing. If I did have something major to report, it would likely not be good. Everyone in my little corner of the world is alive, physically healthy, and bored to tears. It’s hard to even talk to people…
