Lowering my standards….

What a day! I have been horribly let down by the standards of young people I encounter, including my own young people.
Now, I will generally not write about work, it is not blog appropriate. But what happened today has taught me a lesson. Some kids at school today, well, abused their off campus privilege. [...]

Grace…not!

Today was a big day at work.  Our middle school students were downstairs in the common area, one by one giving presentations on a subject they had picked to study since the beginning of the school year.  They were so cute and nervous.  I gave out more tums to kids today than I have all [...]

Not myself…..

Tell me if this has ever happened to you: To momentarily escape from the monotany and predictability of your life you…maybe….daydream during a song, while driving?
Here’s me the other day: driving home, have so many things to think about that I revolt and decide to, well, not think of any of them and [...]

Zero

Today I got nothin for you. No-thing. Zero. Can’t think of anything witty to say. Or profound.
Except that maybe I could tell you that I love my kids and my son cracks me up. We got caught up in a cheesy movie on Disney tonight… basically some kid hits [...]

My ‘hood

I live in the coolest neighborhood ever. Indianola. I like to call it Indianfrigginola sometimes, because it has a fun ring to it, but there is nothing ‘friggin’ about it that I’ve found yet. It used to be a summering community for Seattlites back in the day so there are cute little [...]

My Bed

I love my bed. I’m like a kid jumping into a pile of leaves when it comes to my bed. Wheeeee! I love it. Soft sheets, heavy, thick down comforter….cozy happy place. Now, it is all about sleep for me and my bed. Other stuff happens there..occasionally, but it [...]

Devil car.

We bought a used Honda last fall. I’m a VW girl. I think you were all made aware of that in my introduction. Hubby wanted the honda. It hates me. I hate it. It was pimped out with a super loud muffler. It even had a sticker on the [...]

River Speak

My son is hilarious. He has natural wit and accidental humor. Here’s a few of my fav’s from his mouth…. and as he comes up with them, I’ll share more:
Post Hurricane Katrina, I’m in a bad mood, kids won’t clean up their room. I say, “You know, I’m just gonna pick up [...]

Yes those ARE my children!

Me: white girl, red hair, freckles, everyone thinks I’m Irish, which I’m not but I work it on St. Patrick’s Day anyway.
Husband: Very goo rooking Asian man. He’s Korean, but grew up in the midwest, so he is a twinkie, yellow on the outside, white in the middle.
Our offspring: Mostly Asian….mostly.
Of course [...]
