Instrument of Confusion

You may be shocked to find out that I’m a little on the…um…shall we say frugal side.  (Of course Shaun insists on using such crude language that he actually calls me cheap!) So, when I find out about a good deal, I’m all over it.
The good deal, in this instance was an EBay store that sold [...]

KT: “Daddy! I’m making a grilled cheese sandwich!”
Daddy: “Really?  How are you cooking it?”
KT: “In the microwave”
Daddy: look of shock and horror

Alien Abduction

It has been pointed out to me that it has been exactly a week since I have posted.  Sigh….I guess I really am getting old now.  I forget such simple things as keeping the world posted on the mundane goings on in my life.  What shall I blame this on?

School Spirit Day

"Wouldn't it be awful if today weren't really Crazy Day? It is Wednesday isn't it?"
Of course I told her it was Thursday then asked her if she needed to go change real quick. I got her for a quick moment. I know, I know…Bad Mama!
I thought I'd add this for the full effect [...]

Catastrophe Prevented

Perhaps you recall the Battle of the Q-tips? Well, it nearly escalated, but thanks to my level headed thinking, I prevented an all out war.
So, I went out in the kitchen wrapped in my towel to get a Q-tip as has become the habit in our house. They weren’t there! NO WAY!! Could I have [...]
