Ahh, just a regular school week, with a major holiday.
Now that the play came off, I feel such mental space. That, and I got a definite answer on my pattern submission (It didn’t make the cut, but the rejection e-mail was beautifully crafted, and she didn’t say I draw Continue reading Ahh, just a regular school week, with a major holiday.

Time change Ameliorations
Last year when I was moaning about the time change throwing me, my friend Annie said she’d put her kids to bed 6 minutes later each night to get them used to it the week before. I thought I’d try Continue reading Time change Ameliorations
Theology 101
Last night K told me that God lives in her closet. I replied that God is everywhere (we call that omnipresent) so he IS in her closet, but he’s also everywhere else too. She sighed, Mommy just wasn’t getting it. Continue reading Theology 101
Theoretically, it was all about the Peppers
B talked his grandfather into 4 pepper plants. So, once we’d dug them up (before the frost, by moonlight and flashlight – B is very persuasive) they arranged to come pick up the peppers. But mostly we hung out. The Continue reading Theoretically, it was all about the Peppers
