“Don’t ever throw Cheerios on the floor again, Charlotte. I don’t like picking them up.” “Your sun tea is spicy, Momma, try it!” “Dude, you just spit in it. I don’t want any!” “Sunburns don’t hurt, Momma. I don’t need sunscreen.” (Spoken by the dear son who once blistered his shoulder when I missed a […]
Well, then.
We switched cell phone providers a month and a half ago. My new cell phone drops calls constantly. The rest of the time people cannot hear me for the awful reception. Often I cannot dial out. I called to complain and they are sending me a new phone to see if that fixes the problem. […]
Don’t put all the eggs into one bucket…
…if Ruby’s carrying them to the house. “I won’t run, Momma. Can I carry the eggs?” We’ve been through this before. Running to the house with a bucket full of eggs makes for pre-scrambled eggs: dirty-style. So I let her carry the eggs into the house from the chicken coop this morning. One egg survived […]
Those clock hands are just so confusing. But I know what you mean anyway.
“Mom. Mom. Mom. Ruby’s asleep, and Charlotte’s asleep and you’re asleep and I don’t want to sleep, So what can I do? Sorry for waking you up though. You can take another nap after you tell me what I can do if you want to.” “Thank you, Sterling. How about coloring a picture?” “Or you […]
I like your perspective.
Back when I was single (in my teens, mind you) I had this perfect ideal for who my husband would be, I didn’t pick thin. Nope, I wanted one bigger than me – by a lot. I did not have any desire to rival my husband for size – or worse yet, beat him hands […]
Happy Birthday, Liberty Skye.
Photo compliments of my parents. She’s celebrating her birthday in South Dakota! Liberty is 8 years old. Happy birthday, Baby Girl. I love you.
Sewing machine: 6. Me: 0.
So the skirts flopped. I’m blaming it on my machine’s bobbin tension with the elastic thread. Mom’s bringing her machine down next week; we’ll try it again. Then we’ll all know: is it the machine, or is it me??? Shirring has gotten the better of me every time I’ve tried on my machine. 6 projects […]
My scrambled frame of mind right about now.
Blaine is traveling for work for a few days. Liberty and Eden are in South Dakota. Boy, does life feel strange right about now. It took three days to get enough dishes to fill the dishwasher. I’ve done 5 loads of laundry since Monday. Usually I’d be on #10 at least by now. Two of […]
To whichever child did the little science experiment in Daddy’s boot:
To whichever child did the little science experiment in Daddy’s boot: Putting your sister’s spit-upon outfit inside your father’s boot was a successful science experiment, I suppose. The mold growth was impressive for less than a week. But for future reference, clothing isn’t an appropriate test subject. Goat’s milk molds quickly. And doing that to […]
Go away, Mr. Salesman.
Two traveling salesman knocked on my door Tuesday afternoon. It was in the 23 minutes I had to unload the groceries, change the baby’s diaper and all three kid’s clothes, plus my own, and head to town to meet Blaine for his birthday supper out. They told me they needed five. I said I didn’t […]
