Wouldn't you know ... I ran out of eggs as I started baking for tomorrow ... after almost all of the grocery stores closed. Fortunately, there

Sniff Sniff. Baby girl is at her first homecoming dance. She is growing up too fast.

I just love bonding with dd14 over silly facebook stuff - like dog pictures and parent texting fails.

Note to self: A couple of 5 second pulses on the Blendtec would have been fine for gazpacho. 20 minutes to clean up my kitchen after that explosion.

Well, I tried one yesterday and it was, as my son called it, "meh." https://blenderreviews.us/spicy-summer-gazpacho/ I used fresh tomatoes and the recipe called for 3 cups of water. I only put in one cup and it was too watery tasting. I tasted the jalapeno, and a few hints of other flavors, but it just wasn't great. Need to keep trying.

Super bummer. I went to purchase tickets to Fermilab's Physics Slam only to find out that they were sold out. 2nd year in a row. I told my son to buy them over the weekend, not wait until the "100 tickets left" email went out.

"The Devil is My Wingman" was the catchphrase of the day at our Teen Lit Club discussion. I think I see a CafePress t-shirt in the making.

If you were my Memoria Press Latin Posters, where would you be hiding?

Doing the happy dance. Passed my "lead/belay" certification test last night at rock climbing. I've only been trying to pass it for 2 years.

Ds' last night at home. Leaving at 8 to go back to school. I'm not sure who will be more sad, the dog or me!

Taking down wallpaper today. I'd rather walk on hot coals. At least I found my steamer that I had planned on giving away. Why do people put up wallpaper if they aren't going to size the walls first?!?!?!

Why is it that I never remember the Rescue Remedy for me until well after I need it? And how can 4 boys take a 1 hour project (pasting reports to a board) and turn it into a 4 hour project? Off to take the RR or open a beer ... hmmm ... decisions., decisions

It's quiet now. But I am not looking forward to this evening. My poor dog!

I am surrounded by curriculum and I am paralized. I am supposed to be pricing these for a curriculum sale and I just can't decide. I think I may go re-read The Hunger Games instead. Book coma, here I come!

Bummer. My dd's clay dog that she made for her 4H project exploded in the kiln. Although she let it dry for a week, I guess it wasn't dry on the inside. Boo Hoo. It was so adorable - almost perfect representation of our dog.

Tragedy of all tragedies ... Crackberrries (oops, I mean Powerberries) at TJs are out of stock! This does not bode well for dd's climbing competition this weekend. Another pre-competition ritutal undone!

My baby girl is 13 today. I am now the mom of 3 teens. Loving life today.

If you were my copy of the Teaching Company's course on the Aeneid, where would you be hiding?

I don't have time to be sick. Set up for book fair? OK. Pack and leave town for a competition? OK. Sick? Um ... NO, thank you very much!

When will I learn to NOT send email, post or do anything verbal before I have had breakfast, tea, and my shower? Not only did I embarrass me, but someone else as well.

A new right of passage ... teaching my teens how to file their own taxes.

I'm scared. Tonight, I will be taking my lead climbing test, which involves a 15+ foot fall. Not looking forward to that flying through space feeling. Wish me luck.

No go last night. I took the test, but one move that I struggle on came back to bite me. I did take a fall, though and that part was no big deal. I was too mad about missing the move I needed to be nervous about the fall. Although the girl testing me was totally cool about it and let me have several tries, but my belayer short-roped me and I got my knot caught in a caribiner and was just done after that. I'm going to do a few "punishers" on that route (climb the same move ove...

Happiness is ... college boy home for spring break. He really changes the energy of the house:).
