Doomed
So about a week ago the youngest child, Cindy Lou Who, came down with a nasty cold. Yesterday The Lovely Rhonda started to feel crappy, and today she spent all day more or less in bed and says she doesn’t know if she’s EVER been this sick. I just sneezed four times in a row…

That time I unfriended someone
So the other day one of my FB friends posted this: And they captioned the post with something about nail salons, tanning beds, maxed out credit cards and financed BMWs, indicating that they felt that a lot of people who receive food stamps are somehow able to afford a rich lifestyle. And I chose not…

Crowning glory
So a few years ago I was driving along minding my own business eating a Milk Dud and a cusp broke off one of my six-year molars. Alas, I had no dental insurance, so I had it examined to be sure it wasn’t going to just fall out of my head and then went on…

This thing that happened today
So this evening I took it upon myself to finish the project I started yesterday. Yesterday evening I got a wild hair to clean the minivan, Moby Titanic. It had been a while and the filth level was teetering on the brink of acceptable levels of sloth. It’s one thing to say, “Oh dear, sorry…

Ode to Buttsong
Found on the back porch: Buttsong One early morning I heard noise from Debra’s butt. “Debra, you have a buttsong!” “What?!” “There’s no such thing as a buttsong!”she yelled out loudly. So, “Yes there is” I yelled on back, “You just don’t know!” So we spent the whole day arguing, laughing to and fro. Now,…

The eve of the thing in the place
So tomorrow morning at the most ungodly hour imaginable we will be harassing our children into clothes and stuffing them in our friend’s van for the quick trip to the airport. The housesitter has been engaged, rides to and from have been arranged, tickets printed, clothing packed, lists checked and rechecked. I’m not sure it…

We went to Chuck E. Cheese yesterday
With predictable results. Sadly, they didn’t fix the printer until just before the last one.

Listen to my butt song
So this morning the middle child, hereafter referred to as “the middle child,” woke up all giggly and came into Grone Up Land to roust me and the wife out of bed. I mean, it was already like SEVEN O’CLOCK IN THE MORNING ON A SATURDAY, get up already! Guy! Anyway she clambered up onto…

Crazy Cat Lady
So I have this extremely affectionate cat. His name is Heals, or as I call him Healsie, and he’s a black and white tuxedo cat. You’d think he’d be more dignified than he is since he’s wearing a tux all the time but he’s definitely the farthest thing from suave and debonair ever. This morning…

Why I Cannot Clean The House Except Under Tremendous Pressure
So it’s Thanksgiving next week, and as always we are booked solid until Thursday morning. The Lovely Rhonda is working her four-day stretch, ending on Tuesday, so she’ll be relatively useless on Wednesday. I say that completely without rancor because her workdays are twelve hours long and sandwiched between forty minutes’ drive each way. We…
