About Me


Definitely quirky.
My life is utter chaos.
I am not glamorous
There are those who purport to love me anyway.
I am sometimes frighteningly, intimidatingly intelligent, but I lack common sense.
I adore rich vocabulary, maths delight me, and my knowledge of useless facts is astounding, but I'm hopeless when it comes to keeping my life in order.
Mostly, I lead the mundane life of stay at home mom. Although, watching my children learn and grow and be children is often far from mundane.
I never knew you could sled down stairs in a laundry basket!
I had NO idea how difficult it was to remove an entire tube of toothpaste from the curly blonde locks of a wiggly toddler.
I didn't know a tree frog said 'a-rabbit! a-rabbit' when it led a charge as general of a frog army.
I never even considered the appeal of dumping entire bottles of ketchup out on the living room floor, but watching it happen (in that moment right before yelling insued)it sure did look like fun!
I'm gonna need more coffee before this is over.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:



Other mommies.
Other writers.
Foodies.
Music junkies.
Humorists.
Unitarians.
People who think I'm nifty.

If you think you might qualify and would like to be added to my friends list and/or would like me to read your blog, please drop me a note and tell me why, in your own words.

Better yet, go read my blog and leave me a comment and I will be more than happy to reciprocate.

Otherwise I will assume you are a spammer who has not bothered reading my profile and I will kick you to the curb like last week's roast chicken carcass, picked over and boiled for stock.

Really Weird Videos Of The Kids

One of these videos is from last summer.  The other is what I found on my computer screen when I got up this morning. My kids are so weird.

Tuesday Morning Socks And Coffee

First off, I wish they'd separate writing and poetry.  They aren't the same.  I'm not one much for poetry.  Blargh.  Sappy nonsense.I mopped the kitchen floor this morning.  The contractor finally fin...

I Was Happy, Now I Am Sad. But Still Kinda Happy

Yesterday was a good day.  After school, Sam and I went up to the no-kill shelter here in town to look at dogs.  We both felt an immediate attraction to a 2 year old pit-mastiff-moose mix -- 100 pound...

Linus

Awful news. Linus slipped out the front door while my son was coming in and ran into the road and got hit by a car. He died moments later in my arms while I stroked him and told him what a good pupp...
