Cooter is enjoying his drama program. Each week he heads through that door and doesn't look back. Well not much anyway. When he is on stage delivering his lines (yes, he's already memorized them! what a relief), he will glance over and smile with this "nailed it, did you see that?" look on his face.… Continue reading Catching Sight of Him

Asking for Directions
I found myself able to etch out an hour or so yesterday evening to make a serious grocery shopping haul. It's been a while since I've spent that long in a store stocking up. I made a rookie mistake from the start. Cart choice. The cart I chose was too small for all I needed… Continue reading Asking for Directions
The Bug or the Windshield?
This morning I was thinking of a line that I first heard in a Mary Chapin Carpenter song about twenty some odd years ago. Some days you're the windshield and some days you're the bug.

When I went in for the first time in quite a while on Friday, meeting with the realtor, I knew we… Continue reading Why I Want to Wear Black
Where is the Grownup?
Some days I feel like this. Today has been one of them. I am sitting at the Med Stop with my middle one. She has been running fever since Friday night. I guess this is Round 2 of what the littles had two weeks ago. Waiting on the results from the strep swab now. It… Continue reading Where is the Grownup?
