And now for something COMPLETELY different ...

I'll just be hanging out on the porch, waiting for the locusts.

Fancy that

Bagel Tyme.

This guy ...

  "Mom ... Who is this guy?"




"That is John F. Kennedy. He was your grandfather's favorite president."

"That makes sense. He has really cool hair."

What do you mean "uneven tan lines?"

Oh relax, she's fine. It's not broken.

The bad news is: She fell off the side porch this morning and sprained her thumb. She's going to be in a splint (that looks conspicuously cast-like) for a few days.

The good news is: She's going to be in a splint (that looks conspicuously cast-like) for a few days, and her friends will want to know all about how she fell off the side porch and sprained her thumb.

What I learned today ...

I was not cut out to be a stage mom.

Either that or I am the quintessential stage mom ...

So I had to cut out.

Every step we take

We signed up for a spring running clinic last month.

I wasn't looking forward to it, to be frank. 

I like the idea of running ... 

but ... 

After about 10 minutes of actually trying to do it ...

I usually give up.

We signed up because the kids wanted to run as a family.

After yesterday's horrifying events in Boston, however, I've discovered that I'm actually looking forward to the first meet tomorrow. 

I may walk more than I run, but I will be thinking of Boston with every step I take. 

Spring needs to pay up ...

Because it's overdue.

If Spring were a library book it would owe at least five bucks.

And if it were a DVD?

Spring would have owned it by now.
