Our house is filled with contractors this week. It sort of ruins vacation time. Originally I was planning on taking Jack out of the house completely for fear of lead paint dust but I ditched that idea as it just seemed too hard and there is actually no lead paint up in the attic where [...]
Once upon a time there was a little chair who couldn’t walk. So he used his legs to hold people who were sitting or standing. and it didn’t have feet but it wanted to jump and go fast. the end.
I’ve always been a bit half assed. It’s a little bit lazy, a little bit not caring, distracted, spacey, not living up to my potential. I think, that’s how it feels anyway. I’m flakey. These two classes I just took we re A LOT of work. time consuming, many things to remember 101 overview type [...]
Once every two months you send me my twice monthly newsletter. For exactly $10,000 I will take exactly 10 minutes of time to write you the proper code to fix that. FFS, Minnie
Should I have another baby?! I’m trying to decide. Jack is such a nice 3.5 yr old. What if we have another baby and it’s all wrong? Also, I’m 36.5. Obviously not too old to have another but still… I’m feeling a bit old. Too old to buy and wear these shoes even though I [...]
Our cats continue to be awesome. We took Foxtrot to the vet last week though since he seemed to be listless and did not A. attack our faces or B. attack dangling pajama strings or C. attack his sisters. He had a high fever and was dehydrated so they gave him s a shot of [...]
This morning with hands on hips Jack looked around at his messy breakfast area and said, “what is all this shit?”. Nice! I win! Yesterday Jack had his first dentist appointment. Last week I had a dentist app and started to talk it up to Jack and I made him an appointment to see my [...]
Every time I go to make hard boiled eggs I have to look up in my Hints from Heloise that my mom gave me when I moved out of the house. Well, honestly, now I just look on the internet but I do stil have that book and I do still consult it occasionally! What [...]

Wow! I’ve had a pretty nice day today! Last week and earlier this week was very very busy and stressful! Today I woke up early and watched the sun fill up our nice room while I read Tarzan on my phone. Then, Jack came in and scared the crap out of me. We ate breakfast [...]

We ordered 40 pounds of tomatoes from Terra Firma Farm and set to work canning them last week. Or was it two weeks ago?! It was our first time canning tomatoes and it went well! The tomoatoes were so pretty I had to take lots of pictures. Whoever packed this box for me lined them [...]
Fuck this noise. The dirt in our backyard is rock solid. Also, I keep digging up plastics bags with rotting stuff in them AND kids clothes. Why are there kids clothes buried in the back yard? Am I about to dig up a dead body? I can’t fucking take it! I also dug up a [...]
V’ger died this morning or last night, I guess. I went in around 12:00am and she was curled up in my drawer and I gave her some food. She looked up at me and I petted her and then I went to bed. I think I knew something was wrong because she didn’t get up [...]
This house kicks so much ass. It’s is so pleasant all day long. For some reason, probably having to do with light quality, it is awesome to take a shower in the laundry room downstairs even though it’s filled with junk and tools and you have to squirm your way through to the weird janky [...]

I just realized I don’t know anyone else going to BlogHer Food. Anyone?
Some one who lived here a long time ago liked roses and plum trees. The roses are hoary and gigantic and the plum trees are so old that they are dying and will never produce fruit again. Actually we had an arborist come in today and he cut down most of the plum trees, some [...]
This week is my week to cook for Jack’s new school, which I will blog about a bit later. I have to cook a meal, and transport it, for 9 toddlers and 4 adults. This is stressing me out on a few levels. First of all, we just moved like 2 days ago and I [...]
