It is a cool but sunny (so far) Friday here in Crunchville. Friday mornings always feel a bit weird here..what with Adam getting out early from school..there is only really two hours of ‘me’ time….not enough to really chillax, but enough to putter about and get some stuff done. And then it is lunches and […]
When the Inmates Get a Leetle Bit Crazy
And this dramatic recreation of that crucial scene in ‘Sleeping Beauty’…Crunch Style. Kids need to get out…long weekends with nothing planned is obviously too much for them. Roll on school tomorrow.
Is there such a thing as a Scottish Redneck?
I wasn’t going to participate in Better Than A Playdate’s loving ‘adoption’ shower for Tanis our beloved Redneck Mommy. Not out of any lack of love for Tanis or for the crew behind the shower…but I was really feeling a bit stumped on the whole ‘redneck’ thing. I am a city slicker. Been so my […]
Conditions are Deteriorating
That is the filing that is supposed to be in the file boxes UNDER my desk. I originally HAD an excuse for this. See, there was a couple of people that we weren’t going to see until AFTER the holidays and so I hadn’t wrapped their gifts right? Sigh…. I won’t talk […]
Can I Lighten Up Already??
Obviously not. Not only is today VALENTINES DAY, but my son has been invited to a birthday party today. Which is fine..and nice…however, it is two hours of my life eaten away…two hours exactly, as it is being held at the local community centre and they have a strict time frame to the ‘fun.’ The […]
Have I Mentioned How Much I HATE Valentines

My mom and I always spoiled each other with chocolates and sucky cards and that was that. When there were […]
What Happened to my Brain
No seriously… I have been thinking about this. I have always been a bit flakey. My LONG list of jobs that I lost over the years is proof of that. Focus is not one of my strong points. Never has been. However..that is not TOTALLY true. If I am doing something that I […]
Two Weeks
So despite ultrasounds that filled my specialist with confidence that NOTHING was wrong with baby, my Triple Marker blood work came back with warning signs that things were NOT great. So…to Amnio we go. We had genetic counselling with Caity and decided against getting amnio with her….and she was fine. But with losing Scott, (even […]
Things we Should NOT Attempt with Kids..
– Late night shopping at furniture stores. And while yes, the lady did get a sale and probably an okay commission from it…I am sure they were glad to see the back of us last night. Picture….the one child who we ARE buying furniture for..bored and just wants a fuzzy pillow…as seen hopefully in this […]
