Oh, the action around here!
He couldn’t just stand by and watch me attempt to kill another washing machine. So, my husband Pete took the sheets and blankets out of my hands and redistributed them in the washer before pouring in the detergent and pushing the start button.

Happy Anniversary to the Couple Who Didn’t See That Coming
He couldn’t just stand by and watch me attempt to kill another washing machine. So, my husband Pete took the sheets and blankets out of my hands and redistributed them in the washer before pouring in the detergent and pushing the start button.
“Happy anniversary,” Pete said and kissed me on the cheek.

I hate to start a sentence this way, but I’m going to: I remember when…I produced a video for one of my high school classes, and I had to cut with scissors and Scotch-tape together the film to edit it. The “soundtrack” involved me hitting the tape recorder at the right time when the film projector started up.
Ah, the 80’s. They were the dark ages of home video.
In the end, I made a crudely edited video, shot at my school and set to The Ramones’ “Rock and Roll High School.” No dialogue or voice… Continue

Here’s my own wish for an hour-by-hour forecast:

Carpool Diem and My Big Book Launch
In the shower this morning, I started counting down until summer break like I'm a fourth grader or something. I don't know what came over me, but it probably has to do with Wednesday, which looms over me like a logistical nightmare with saxophones in tow.
This Wednesday, both of my kids have two activities each, and I have carpool. Three of those activities overlap, and the location of one was moved across town so that I have to be in three places at one time. And yet, I am just one mother with… Continue
