Sensitive Child Or Hall Monitor?

My daughter , I think, is destined to become a hall monitor. She regularly opens the living room window and yells at the neighbor kids to get out of the street. She yells at people to stop honking their horns, a regular occurrence in our neck of the woods. For some reason, no one can […]

Just Another Wordless Wednesday…

This is the family of Woodpeckers we saw when we went to Oak Glen two weeks ago. The pictures don’t really do them justice. The red was so vibrant. I love seeing nature in action. Mama woodpecker was on a branch right above our heads. Then she flew over to see her family. Waiting for […]

Who’s Acid Tripped, Mushroom Fueled Idea Was This?

Have any of you seen this children’s show, Oobi? Do any of you get it? My daughter is being entertained by hand puppets. Nekkid hand puppets. That sort of talk. And sing. It’s like Teletubbies for 4 year olds. Except…not. This show just freaks me out. They wear little plastic googly eyeball rings as a […]

Things The Diva Said…{Or Did}

I was on the phone with my best friend Carol a couple of weeks ago, walking through the kitchen, when The Diva came up to me and said “Mommy? What is compensation?” Ummm, huh? I heard Carol Ann fall out of her chair, because she was laughing so hard, as I tried to explain compensation…to […]
