Even with my feminist parenting, the ills of society are creeping in. Today Meredith told me that she wanted to play golf when she is older, but she fears that only boys play golf. Later, Allison told me that she was sad because if we went to McDonald’s for lunch, she couldn’t get a spy [...]
tears in a mall
Published in March 26th, 2006
Today I ran to the mall to see if I could find bedding for the new bed. Allison was the only offspring that cared to join me. We had a lovely afternoon, including her trying on clothes (and me purchasing an outfit for her), and lots of misc shopping. We saw the cutest little hermit [...]
living in luxury
Published in March 23rd, 2006
We bought a king-size bed, and a huge honking pillow-top mattress. Now where to buy bedding for this beast? I want a comforter that is AT LEAST 110″ wide, and I would prefer larger. If it isn’t 110″ wide, it won’t cover the mattress. I would love to find one that is 120″ wide! That [...]

Allison wants me to teach her curse words so she will know what NOT to say.

Hi Jess [[[waving]]]
I took the girls to see Curious George today (JESS watched Lydia for me, isn’t that cute??), and I realized that Meredith is Curious George, and Allison is the man in the yellow suit (she hates that though). Meredith acts before thinking, she’s into everything but not because she is naughty, but because [...]
ALL ABOUT JESSICA
Published in March 15th, 2006
Jess claims I don’t write enough about her. I tell her she doesn’t do cute things anymore….and she isn’t that adorable anymore.
Jess bought a car last night. A white minivan. A teenager’s dream! $500 though! Can’t beat the price.
Jess found an apt today.. she filled out an application and will find out tomorrow if this [...]
Lydia gets into the act
Published in March 11th, 2006
Have I quoted Lydia here yet? Today she said/did the funniest thing I have every heard/seen. Lately she has been a terror. Seems like every time Meredith is playing with something Lydia wants it. Lydia has been seen knocking down castles as Meredith plays with blocks, and Lydia is often known to grab a [...]
not the mommy
Published in March 10th, 2006
Today Eric came home from work early (his last day at current job!), so we could go get our KS driver’s licenses (its a done deal now), and he was teasing me, stomping around the house saying, “clean up this house woman, its a pigsty”…when Meredith says in this real attitudish voice, “Daddy (like daaadddeee), [...]
