As you’ve probably guessed from the clever title of this post, I went to the eye doctor on Monday. That’s not really newsworthy, except it is in my world, where remembering to go to the eye doctor is a semi-big deal because it indicates that maybe my memory is starting to return. [...]

A bunch of my picture links are broken. Why? Is the universe telling me that it’s creepy to post pictures of my kids? Anyway, I know the links are broken but I’m too tired to fix them because that’s how it is — by the time I sit down [...]

So I was thinking about this today while I was working in the garden. It was a nice afternoon, sunny and quiet. Quiet because the kids were out with Clayton and sunny because, well, the sun was out. Obviously. I am the master of a descriptive setting. [...]

I’m reading Heather Armstrong’s book, It sucked and then I cried. That’s the title of the book, the book itself doesn’t suck, or doesn’t suck so far. I can’t really judge it fairly as I’m only on about page 10 because for some reason every time I pick the book up, [...]

I have a longer post to write but no time this morning, I’ll try to do it later tonight, I promise. I promise, as though you care, as though you are actively wondering what gem I will post next and when already. I know, I know! I’m on it!

Tucking The Bun into bed at night always brings on a manic frenzy of “I love you, Mummy, I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU.” Which I know is a delay tactic, but hey, after a long day, a few “I love you”s go a long, long way.

Yesterday The Birdy and The Bun woke up sounding like baby seals on an ice floe barking an SOS to The Universe. Using my excellent Mummy instincts, I flashed back to last year when The Birdy — sounding similar — accompanied me on a doctor’s appointment for something unrelated, and was instantly diagnosed [...]

Time for another one of these, methinks.
1. It’s a beautiful day. That’s got to count for something, right? We’re off to go kite-flying in the park while doing laundry at my Mum’s house. Because no, we still do not have a washer and dryer that is attached in [...]

Some terrible things have happened this week in the blogosphere, though these things happened in the real sphere, in real life. I feel both like I ought not to write about them because there are so many who were closer to these people and their losses that on one level, I feel like it’s [...]

I woke up today — oh, wait, that part’s not even true! I’m starting this post with a terrible lie! Because if I say “I woke up” then that would mean I’d been asleep. But I had not. Nope. Not me. That [...]
