The Sky has Opened and All Heaven is Singing...

HALLELUJAH! My almost 5 yr daughter (K) picked out clothes and dressed herself in a MATCHING OUTFIT. Is this possible? Well, technically, no. White shirt with red polka dots around the neck. Matching polka dot pants. Orange, Clemson Crocs. Okay...Close enough. I'll add a picture out here as soon as I can get to my home pc. Punky Brewster's protege lives in my house. You'll see that she's come a lo…

Attention ladies: Stop making me look bad!

Without a whack upside the head, my husband claims that I'm an anomaly in this world. I'm a woman who also happens to be a good driver. I believe him because I'm totally NOT fashionable (my sister used to dress me in high school) and I can't cook to save my life. I figure that being a good driver might be one of my strenths considering the vast number of things I'm not good at.

Someone should 'green' the daycares

Someone (other than me because I have no time--an excuse that's excruciatingly original, eh?) should 'green' the daycares. 1. There are a million diapers a day pitched in the trash. a. I think there are specific rules about how often kids must be changed--even if they haven't messed up their diapers.

Many thanks...hope you can read what I wrote.

Would it be wrong to do e-thank you notes from now on? I did an evite for the event. It seems appropriate that I follow-up with e-thanks. Right? T was baptized about a month ago. Yes, I am super-slack. I'm just now writing these bad boys.

BPA and Bottles--Are you 'in the know?'

I'm not sure I'm 'in the know' but I thought I'd put this out here. From Wikipedia:

My husband is out of the country right now for work. He left last Thursday. Last Thursday I started a full time, contract position after being laid off and then on maternity leave since 01Aug. Friday, the daycare was closed for an "in-service" day. So, I made a stellar impression right off the bat! ;-)

Getting a new car seat and rearranging the seats in the car(s) can be a bit of a hassle. One of our cars is a teeny, little Civic http://automobiles.honda.com/civic/ . Though it's a few years old, it is great on gas and thoroughly dependable. However, it's no place for two small kids and their massive car seats. We are doing a lot of rigging and weight loss surgeries right now.

I was out past 1 a.m. this morning for fun. Good t…

Most days look identical to the one before it. I get up early. I take care of kids. I cook. I wash clothes. Occasionally I clean. I bus people to and fro. We watch boring tv and then we go to bed far too late. We wake up tired and annoyed every morning. And the day begins again... Wash. Rinse. Repeat. Kind of like the instructions on the shampoo bottle (Thank God they are there when I have a blond…
