The Perfect Thing
“I would give just about anything for a cheeseburger right now,” I said, thinking of that perfect state of meltiness achieved by marrying hot, juicy beef to cool, creamy cheese. I drove on, debating whether pulling into the drive-thru was wise. After a moment, a small voice chirped from the back seat of the car.…

#10Thankful – Are We There Yet?
I am so ready for this school year to be over. I kind of thought when I left the classroom that I wouldn’t feel so stressed about this time of year. I figured without final exams, end-of-the-year textbook collections, and the rest of the things teachers have to do in June, I’d have no worries. I was wrong. Know…

TToT – By the Numbers, Sort Of
Well, it’s been quite a while, hasn’t it? I took an intentional week off for Holy Week and Easter and then all hell broke loose. It all started with some beautiful spring blooming…and pollen. Allergy season entered our lives in full force. So here we are, now three weeks, three head colds, one sinus…

Why My Husband Isn’t Allowed to Go Grocery Shopping
My husband is no longer allowed to do the grocery shopping. It’s not because he isn’t willing. He never protests when we need a store run. And it’s not because he’s bad at it. In fact, in the two years he spent as the at-home guy, the Hub became very proficient at navigating the grocery…

TToT – Birthdays and Life, Part 2
It’s birthday time again! Well, it was. Tuesday was my birthday and it was quite possibly the most absurd one I’ve had in a while – maybe ever. The day started off fine and quite as usual with a Happy Birthday text from Super Sister at 12:01 AM. Always. I love it. I am thankful…

Book Review – Marcia Kester Doyle’s Who Stole My Spandex
Everybody has that friend. You know the one. The friend you meet for the lunch date that ends at 5:00 PM when your husband calls wondering if you’re stranded in a ditch somewhere. The friend you can talk to about anything, because we all need to bounce those topics off of someone else for comparison’s sake. Just to…

A Mustache on Monday
I believe in full disclosure. Translation: I was delighted to fall on the number in the TToT link-up Sarah designated as one to answer these questions because neither of the other two posts I’ve been working on are ready to go this morning. I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling seriously behind the eight ball this…

Finding the Funny at Vikki Claflin’s Laugh Lines
I have finally figured out how to be in two places at one time. Sort of. A while ago I submitted a funny story to Vikki Claflin for her “Finding the Funny” serious over at her place, the hilariously accurate Laugh Lines. This afternoon, for the first time in like a week, I scrolled through…

Rotten Cat Wednesday
This is Cat One. When I took this photo, he was howling at me because the laundry basket was in “his” spot at the foot of our bed. And here he is happy after I removed the offending basket. After the photo, he immediately proceeded to lick himself enthusiastically. Nobody needs to see that. Here…

Wordless Wednesday – How To Go Grocery Shopping
When time is running short, it’s good to be efficient. Kidzilla…unless I take Kidzilla with me after school.
