Okay, today we had errands to do: drop off the saxophone at the repair shop, mail packages, have a form notarized, drop off b.g.’s mittens. All these are quick stop errands where I can run in and leave Lydia in the car to supervise. She’s going to be twelve in a couple months. She can […]
Okay, I have a special electronic key for opening electronic lock boxes when I show houses. It’s not that I have any appointments to show houses at the moment–it’d be fun to help a buyer, but never mind. That’s not the point. I put my supra key somewhere for safekeeping. Yah. Smart, I know. So

Okay, late last night James found me in the kitchen and asked me to buy him two things today: a white shirt, and a pair of black dress pants. ??? He’s going to a school dance this weekend, and from what I gathered from the usual very brief James conversation, Little Jay had taken the
They were as loud and hilarious as ever tonight, going to play Game boy in Tim’s bed. We said prayers, kissed goodnight, and then the racket began. The shrieking and laughing and loud thumping were outrageous. I was painting the bathroom in the family room, and that’s a hard room to paint. It’s tiny, the

our most excellent friend Okay, our friend was scheduled to come here tonight to hang out with us while his parents go out for dinner with Dan and Alicia, and John and Dannell. The kids were thrilled, haven’t seen him in about a month, much happiness. I used it as an excuse for them to

Oh my gosh. Tonight m.c. was here, along with t.c. and l.c. and they ran all over the house playing. John wanted to check out Heidi’s burned house, and he was on solo child care, and coming to the grandparents’ is a good outing. Plus he was delivering Little Jay home to us from college
Okay, this is an actual question Kari asked me last night: “Would you love me if I had a purple unibrow?” ??? “Well, considering I loved when you when you had no teeth and pooped your pants? I’d say yes.” There was some laughing, and she said, “I’m working on growing a beard!” James: “Good

a random kid…they’re not sure who he is The kids are playing softball, and last night was picture night. We took them all over there, in their softball shirts, and photos were taken. Seemed fine. Well, this morning I had an email from Tim’s coach, saying pictures were tonight at 7:15. Weird. I emailed him
