You do YOUR job, and I’ll do MINE

As any parent knows, mornings can be rough. Kids need to be fed, dressed, hygiene attended to, the various items of the day – lunches, homework, jackets etc. all settled upon. Depending on the number of children, this can look like a zoo. Now, add the fact that it’s morning, and people are moving slower. [...]

A Request

My readers run the gamut. PR people read it, friends read it, online friends (read: we haven’t met in person yet) read it, strangers read it. I don’t think any family actually reads here, but I know some family know about it.
I hold certain views, that I haven’t fully fleshed out here on the blog. [...]

Absolutely Beautiful

They are all younger than my 4th grader. Goodness, the talent in those little girls.

Please help me understand

So, President Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize.
This is something that I do not understand. I really and truly don’t.
The deadline for nominations were a mere two weeks after his presidency started.
To date, while he’s had lots of meetings, nothing has been accomplished. I’m not saying it won’t be – but it hasn’t [...]

Health Care Bill on the Internet?

Dear U.S. Government,
I would like to provide my services to you to post the proposed health care bill on the internet.
I’ve thought about it, and I am, indeed, prepared in my home office for such an undertaking. I would need about 3 days and a babysitter. And maybe lots of coffee. You [...]

The 10 month interlude has begun

School has started. This is where I get 10 months of daytime solitude. You know… When Poe gets a job that is.
School started two days late due to the Station Fire. The air quality around our little town is much better today – although this morning the smoke smell was still [...]

UPDATED: Local Media Failed Me in the Station Fire

I’ve updated some information below.
***
For those that know me, a short personal update. We’re OK. My mother is holding her own in terms of the smoke, although it’s really really bad today and this might be the day that takes her to the hospital. We’re out of danger of embers now. [...]

More information on the Station Fire

Now I’m starting to be the eyes and ears of friends and family who are living away from our town, and their parents, etc. still live here.
Here are photos I took on Thursday.
Here are photos I took on Friday (today.)
I’m going to hit up the hospital and drive a bit and get some more pictures [...]

Break interupted by flames

So – I’m on an internet break til the kids start school next week. Except that my area had a fire start yesterday, and now it’s kind of scary.
So. Yes, we’re ok. Our home is safe. I’m not sure I can say the same for some friends and parents of friends, [...]

Dear AOL, I Am Not a Freak

*Note: Some graphic biological information ahead. And another note? I’m ticked and therefore ramble.*
Dear AOL,
I was reading what passes for your headlines today and saw your article, “Dual-Womb Mother Shocks Doctors.” I had to click. Because I have Uterine Didelphys.
Thanks a lot, AOL. You have made me look like a freak. [...]
