Well, the boys are working diligently. So not all of Monday is negative.

Red Pants Happy Dance

Red Pants Happy Dance

Just withdrew from course with TTUISD. Such a waste of money.

You might live in a small town if everyone knows who "Beefy" is.

Dear Son, you chose to put off several projects until today. You must complete them even if your brother is done for today. Love, Mom. p.s. This is why procratination sucks.

Second day back at school, boys got up and right to work. I am amazed. Now to teach them how to make coffee...

The child waiting for his dad to take him to the hospital to check out what appears to be skull fracture from yesterday's adventures randomly called out to me, "Mom! Watch me jump like a jaguar, spin like a jaguar!" I don't know how much more of this my heart and nerves can take. Are there any sedatives safe for children? What about body armor for 4yos?

If I had a rocket launcher...

Kale chips: Proof that enough olive oil and sea salt can make anything taste good.

I shouldn't have read the thread about paranormal activity...in a magazine I was just reading, I thought the headline said, "State Fair Offerings Include Live Demons." It actually said "Live Demos." Ooops!

Why do I turn back into a 14 yo when I visit my mom? :)

Our exchange student arrives today!

Too bad making a packing list doesn't get the bags packed and the van loaded.

So the kids tell me there are tadpoles in the fire pit ...

There seem to be a lot of people here who could do with a Tarot reading. :(

I'm glad I picked up a new digital camera, I can't find the old one for the boy's to use.

The kid's at camp this week. Not sure what to do with myself now.

Three cheers for Justices Kennedy, Breyer, Ginsburg, Sotomayor and Kagen.

Blueberry freezer jam turned out delicious!

All FB friends reposting GMO rants with logical fallacies have been removed from my news feed. Ahh, I feel so much better now.
