My dad used to joke about people who had multiple piercings as having too many holes in their head, and something about that resulting in a greater chance that their brains would leak out. I used to laugh and agree with him. But today… Could somebody drill a hole in each of my sinuses and [...]

Sick day
I’m home sick today. It started on Sunday evening with the classic runny nose… and progressed to a full-blown head cold. Sinus pain and stuffed ears. I taught heroically yesterday, but was drained after my shower this morning.
I was also supposed to go on a mission trip with my sophomore homeroom this week. Our school [...]

I’m not a vomit!
Sometimes, when kids say something cute, we try to corner them into saying those things again. And again. And again.
So it is with Jet’s version of “I like you, varmint!”.
He’s onto us, though. He won’t say it. Instead, he hollers, “I’m not a vomit, I’m [Jet]!”, and makes you say it using his name instead. [...]

Happy Birthday!
So… Blogger publishes posts with the time that they were started. I started this on the morning of the 22nd, and kept coming back to it all day long. It is now the evening of the 23rd. I thought I would be able to throw this together and publish it and honor my dad [...]

New words
Jet continuously amazes me with how fast he’s learning so many different things. His language development is my current fascination.
He moved up into the Twos and Threes class at his playschool about two months ago, and his sentence structure and vocabulary are much more complex. We noticed the difference in about two weeks.
I love, love, [...]

Whaaaa…t?
It is February 21st, at almost 8:00 at night, and we have the air conditioner on. I’m afraid I might have missed Spring, because it was 86 degrees here today.
Oh, wait! That WAS Spring! Tomorrow it will be 106, and Summer, and I will yet again be paying the high price [...]

Sleeping and groceries and budgets, oh my
Jet is making progress on The Plan. He’s falling asleep in his own bed; most nights we don’t really have to argue with him.
However, he’s become quite stealthy during Operation Climb into Mommy and Daddy’s Bed in the Middle of the Night. I don’t even know he’s there until my alarm goes off at 4:45. [...]

What do zebras taste like?
Everyday Jet and I have pretty much the same conversation on the way home after I pick him up from his playschool. I ask him which friends and toys he plays with, whether or not he colored/ painted/ played play-doh, and what he had for lunch. Today had a twist because he was [...]

Champagne taste on a beer budget…
… this is my problem.
Knight and I are toying with the idea of taking a weekend vacation. We’d like someplace within driving distance, an affordable (but nice) hotel room, and one nice place to eat. I’d like to stay two nights. We are considering San Antonio.
So, today being President’s Day and all, I thought I’d [...]

10 Weird Things About Me
I picked up the tag from Heather to list 10 weird things about me… So, here goes.
1. I have an unhealthy obsession with organization. I like everything to be in its place, all the time, and I heap undue amounts of guilt on myself when it isn’t. I’m working on that, though. [...]
