Blog Etiquette

Monday, August 28th, 2006

Here’s a suggestion to you experienced bloggers out there. Someone needs to write a book about proper blog etiquette. Is it OK to make a comment on a post that does not pertain to the subject of the post? Can you email your commenters, or is that an unconscionable invasion of a […]

I’ve converted!

Friday, August 25th, 2006

I have a new obsession - my list. Before, I would have a list and I would look at it and prioritize what is most pressing and do that first and henceforth down my list. Well, NO MORE! Now I have a new method! I do things from the top to […]

Rose Petal Warning

Monday, August 21st, 2006

Word to the wise:
Rose petals will stain when crushed on fabric, so if you’re planning a romantic encounter involving rose petals, keep that in mind. Nobody told me and I am now suffering the consequences.

Links to Childhood

Monday, August 21st, 2006

My son would sleep with a towel all the time, if we’d let him. This started from times of sickness, when we would strip him down to his diaper and wrap him in a towel that could be easily thrown into the washer if he vomited on it. He must have decided it […]

Crazy Mommy Lullaby

Wednesday, August 16th, 2006

My kids make me crazy
Crazy dizzy with laughing
Crazy squinty eyes as my hand swings down for the swat
Crazy dragging my brain along behind me like a duck toy tired
Loony Bin Mommy
Won’t you put me down for a nap?
Read me a […]

99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall - Today’s Worship Service

Wednesday, August 16th, 2006

Do you ever stand in church on a Sunday morning and feel like you’re singing 99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall (or This is the Song that Never Ends…) because each chorus is being repeated 99 times before the worship team goes on to the next one? It occurred to me recently that […]

Tsk. Tsk. Tsk.

Tuesday, August 15th, 2006

Now, I’ve broken the rule I gave myself. This blog is for thoughts, not reports of activities. However, since I already wrote the whole post up (the dying happy one), I’ll leave it and compromise with myself by trying to write a thoughtful post now.
Hmmm… Give me a minute.
Aha! […]

I can die happy now.

I had a GREAT weekend. Really. I just loved it, and I’m not sure why it was so wonderful. Seriously, it was one of the best weekends in years.
Friday evening: Hubster took the kids to the park and grocery store (with a list I gave him, of course) while […]

Resenting Authority

Thursday, August 10th, 2006

I have a problem with authority.  I admit it.  My husband pointed it out to me a long time ago, and I’ve found out he’s right.  Well, a couple of days ago, as I was commenting on someone else’s blog, I got a clue as to why.  I told the blogger, “Whatever the scenario, don’t get pushed […]

Thought from a brain-dead woman

Wednesday, August 9th, 2006

I’m really tired tonight.  I don’t think I have a brain to think.  I’m completely numbed by potty accidents and dish pile-ups. 
I almost deleted yesterday’s blog, but my husband convinced me to leave it.  He said that’s the point of blogs, to be able to express yourself without repercussions.  I think even blogs have repercussions.  […]
