"Perhaps I'm old and tired, but I always think that the chances of finding out what really is going on are so absurdly remote that the only thing to do is to say hang the sense of it and just keep yourself occupied." -Douglas Adams
Lately I’ve been thinking that I desperately need more hours in the day. Seriously a 27 hour day would be awesome. But I’m realizing that maybe it’s not that I need more time, it’s that I need to do less. (And then everyone yells at their monitor, “well duh!”) I’m sure most people know this [...]
Katie … … is not awake. … is annoyed by PTO fundraisers.

Things have been humming along pretty well. The kids’ schedules are coming together (scouts, sports, etc) and I’m adapting well to being out of the house 2-4 hours a day at college.

Nowadays professors have strict rules about cell phone usage during class and for a good reason. In one of my first day classes, I watched a girl [...]

I was really hoping to ‘take today off’ from running around like a crazy person (trying to use up those precious kid-free hours during the school day) and just sew* but I think I still need to spend at least an hour today running around like a crazy person. Today’s errand list includes trips to [...]
So the kids’ first day of school went well. The second day went alright too even though one of the twins has already ‘misplaced’ her lunchbox. That is one of my least favorite parenting tasks, finding lost things that should have been put away but weren’t and now no one knows where they are. Oy… [...]
