Moving to the other side

I just had a conversation with Jamie about Cory that was prompted by a) his incredibly surly mood even after – finally! – a full night’s sleep, his first since the time change, and b) the fact that he was clutching this framed picture of Cory that he had asked to be printed and framed [...]

Angel child / Devil child

Jamie is typically very well behaved when we are out of the house and around other people. Other people’s houses, restaurants, etc. This was even true when he was a baby – on his worst days at home the best thing to do was to always leave the house. Usually, he perked right up. So [...]

Phew

That’s me sighing with relief that this week is almost over. There are lots of VERY IMPORTANT events happening at the college MD works at this week and he’s been going nonstop along with the rest of the team there and people that have flown in from all over the country to get the food [...]

FIVE!

My boy is turning 5 tomorrow! I’m trying to figure out how to talk about him without dissolving into a little puddle on the ground. Sure, he’s mouthy and stubborn and opinionated. He’s in super bossy mode these days, telling me with a smirk in his voice, “I KNOW you’ll do [whatever it is I [...]

We actually [...]

I whipped these out in record time, taking less than 24 hours to make the second one. They don’t entail a lot of knitting, but that’s still fast for me.

Too bad I was so busy IMing Little Wit about how I was going to finish these socks today and how awesome I am to pay [...]

But sure are fun!

Playing with goo.
Chasing Jamie around the yard with the hose.
Playing video games.
Taking a walk while Jamie masters the scooter.

All things we did on Sunday instead of getting work done.
I think the both parents working thing really takes it’s toll on me in the summer. While the rest of the neighborhood is wide [...]

We went to the Arts Festival on Sunday and to my surprise, Jamie asked to have his face painted. He’s always vehemently refused when asked. They were doing gold masks and he was adorable when they were done. He had little black ears above his eyebrows and long whiskers below his eyes, with some other [...]
