Hey all. I just got back from dropping the Pie Dudes off at their first residential camp (meaning they’re away from home on their own for a full week at camp). It was a very, very long 10 hour drive. Good news: I gassed up on the way back for an unbelievable $4.06 […]
≡ Disney World
A continuation of the thoughts posed [here]. Between the ages of 6 mos. and 10 years, our family packed up the station wagon and headed to Silver Lake State Park in Michigan. But then in my eleventh year of life, our summer vacation plans took an abrupt turn - south. We packed up our […]
≡ Ahhhhh Summer!
Today consisted of scheduling and filling out forms for summer events and activities. Why anyone needs my email address on an emergency form is beyond me. I’m guessing it’s for notifying parents of an injury that didn’t result in emergency medical treatment. Another portion that was disturbing was the unilateral release of photos, video footage, […]
≡ Mom’s Summer Camp
Going along with the theme Anne started, and for the same reasons, here is the itinerary for our summer camp this year: “Typical Camper Maggie” by Crocidillicus on Flickr.
≡ Let’s Ramble For A Moment, Shall We?
A bit ago, I wrote a post titled The Death of Tinkerbell. If you recall, I was spouting off about the ghastly expense of going to an amusement park (yeah, right, who’s the most amused here?). And, if you recall, I wrote another post in preparation for a school field trip to a more local […]
≡ Crossing The Line
My second favorite redhead, Catherine, blogged about this and immediately tears were streaming down my face. I only watched this one video, it’s part 2 of a series, but for anyone who has kids (present, past, future) or you are a kid, this is a must see. Be part of the change! […]
≡ Seven Reasons I’m Scared
1. I’ll be with 3 kids, all boys, on the precipice of adolescence (I’ve already heard them comparing notes or possibly bragging about vocal pitch changes and body hairs, so this can’t be good), for an entire day; 2. We will be spending approximately 5.5 hours in the car. I have a […]
≡ Mother’s Day 2008
Mother’s Day wouldn’t be possible without my husband. Yes, I’m well aware of sperm donors, as Dr. Phil likes to refer to those out there that qualify as “dead beat dads,” but in my world, few qualify in that category including my own. So thank you, dear husband, for giving me a gift […]
≡ The Things Kids Say
Z-dude: “Hurry up, Ry-Guy! Help me here!”
Ry-Guy: “Why? What do I care if we get that done or not? You were the one who was supposed to do it!”
Z-dude: (heavy sigh): “But don’t you want to go?”
Ry-Guy: “Go where?”
Z-dude: “To Applebees!”
Ry-Guy: “So what do you need me to […]
