Divorce parties are becoming popular.\ I wanted to have a party when my best friend divorced. Not because it was joyous occasion, but because it was so long in coming that finally having it official meant that she could get on with her life. And that was reason to celebrate.\ What says you all?
I signed the contract to get our basement finished. They start on Monday. YAY!! I’m glad to finally be moving forward on this. After the office is finished, we are going to have a camp out in there since this is why we didn’t have a summer vacation. I think the kids will like an […]
Boy Scouts to pay more in rent. I’m not anti-Boy Scouts, maybe. But they can’t have it both ways: ban certain people from their organization and receive special privileges from the government.\ Kevin and I blogged about this before. I am going to see if I can find those old posts.\ ETA-\ My old post.\ […]
Wow, even as crazy-liberal as I am, this is too crazy for even me: Middle school offers birth control pill. If parents sign a vague, “my child can be treated at the health center” form, the child can receive the prescription. This is shocking to me. It can’t be good for 11-13 year olds to […]
Attention, People of the World:\ My grocery store now has Peppermint Ice Cream in stock. Start squeeing at will, as your store probably does too.

Even though I keep killing off our fish and another one looks to have one fin in the toilet, I tried to get Kevin to buy a bigger fish tank this weekend. He said no. No! To me. His loving and devoted wife. Boo. The tank we have now is angled in the front, like […]
Since Max is now the big 0-8, I gave him the big t-a-l-k tonight, by myself. No book, no Kevin, no video. Max knew a lot about the science of how babies were created: sperm from the man + egg from the woman = baby. But he was stumped when I asked him how the […]
Yesterday, Max named the one gold goldfish we have Dart and the two new tiny ones Beta and Gamma. We also have two silver goldfish, but they don’t have names yet.\ One of the new tiny fish died today. Less than 24 hours after coming into our home. Sniff. Earlier, Brian was telling the fish […]
