keep passing the open windows

My husband just emailed me:
“tonight, at some point, I want your body.”
My response:
“And you think I’m sexy?
Come on baby let it show?”
God, I’m funny….

Last night the kids went to a volleyball tournament. Chris had an evening appointment, so I had the house to myself. Yay!!!!
So what did I do with my time?
Cleaned house and cooked.
What an exciting life I live!
I made Alton Brown’s pizza dough for dinner (for tonight.) I substituted “rapid rise” […]

Earlier this nine-weeks my daughter was struggling with her grade in social studies. She has been bringing her textbook home, studying, and working diligently on her folder.
Last night she said “Mom, guess what I got on my social studies test?”
Me: “A 97%?”
Reagan: “Yes, on the short answer part. On the essay […]

Last night I went to the “Taste of Home” cooking show with my friends Katrina and NHBC. We had a good time. In an eye rolling, OMG, kind of way.
The show was….how should I put it?
Rudimentary.
For example, the host explained the difference between a clove of garlic and a head of garlic. […]

Saturday night I took the kids, Tay, Rea, and W., to see a performance by the BBQ Kittens, an improv group that performs shows similar to “Whose Line is it Anyway.”
On the way there we met Chris to switch cars. During the Chinese Fire Drill Chris dropped his OUR cell phone. […]

My daughter was in quite a mood this weekend. In her defense, she was recuperating from being sick most of last week. On the other hand, gosh, she was being awfully, awfully awful.
Saturday Chris was gone most of the day. During his absence she started referring to him as “The MAN you […]

I think my nephew F. may some day be a multimillionaire. He’s eleven and the most entreprenurial member of my family, by far. He collects items on trash day to repair and re-sell. Once he took an instrument to the shopping center near his house and played it to collect tips. […]

This morning I’m feeling a little “off,” a little fuzzy headed. My idiocy was just confirmed by the following internal dialogue while checking my email:
“Oh, a Freecycle email urgently needing a bassinet. I wonder who plays the bassinet? Did a child just join band? Or did someone suddenly have a whim […]

Yesterday we did nothing presidential. Reagan and a friend went ice skating. And, silly teenage girls they are, wouldn’t wear gloves or coats because that would be “dorky.” Freezing, apparently, is “cool?”
While the kids were skating, SS, Taylor and I went to run errands. First stop, Vallartas for […]

Yesterday I wrote this entry, but didn’t get around to finishing it:
“For Valentine’s Day I wish I had:
a clean car
a clean bedroom
a clean bathroom
Noticing a trend? Apparently we are slobs. Especially me.”
Today I’m a bit sad because my husband didn’t get me anything, WAY WORSE, he didn’t do anything for the […]
