Here’s some of my earlier writing…
Mad
Yesterday afternoon, while I was trying to do some paperwork, Maddie REALLY wanted my attention. "Mom, can you help me build a fort? Mom can you play a game with me? Mom can you watch a movie with me?"Getting rather impatient (because I hate paperwork and really...
Stuff
- I think the fruit flies are almost vanquished. Almost. One taunted me as I came up the basement stairs this morning, and a few more met their fate in the vacuum cleaner just before my bath.- I have to go back to work tomorrow. Holiday's over. Sigh.- Yesterday, Julie...
I am woman, hear me VACUUM!
I have declared war on the fruit flies. I am a one-woman army with a vendetta. Just picture a female Rambo, but with a vacuum hose and a bottle of balsamic vinegar as my weapons. I will NOT be beaten!Alas, the flies, they are a-multiplyin'. They are taunting me with...

Pinch me, I must be dreaming
Tonight at the mall, I let the girls pick out a bathing suit for me. I tried it on and bought it. Just like that.Do you KNOW how remarkable that is?!? ONE bathing suit! And it was on the clearance rack too! There was no stack of discarded bathing suits taunting me...
Random Summer Thoughts
