This whole Halloween thing has me a little riled up (internally). Yesterday at the grocery store the clerk asked me if we were taking Elsie out for Halloween. An innocent question—which had the potential to be answered with corresponding simplicity. Like ‘Yes!’ Or even ‘No!’ Or to elaborate just a wee bit, ‘Not this year.’ [...]

Cute things this one did yesterday. Cute thing #1: backward walking. A skill which hails from her father. Yep. Simon ran home backwards for an entire year when he was in grade seven. That was the year he got a timer for his birthday. To time his backward running naturally. I am so proud. Cute [...]
Dear Stephen Harper, I am sorry to report that yesterday evening my grandmother officially deemed you a sissy: “He’s a sissy!” (That’s how she said it. It was that plain. Ouch.) Why sissy? Well, I’m afraid it’s your indecision regarding the partaking of the H1N1 vaccine. That’s right. It’s your sitting on the fence that [...]

If you recall… Esther bumps into me on Yonge Street. She is searching for Carlton. I walk her down ’cause I’m going that way. As we walk her story comes pouring out. She has just come from Princess Margaret. Or maybe it was Sunnybrook. She looks to me for the answer. Plus her yellowing teeth [...]
FOR THE WEEK OF OCTOBER 18-24, 2009 WHAT I’M READING: The Possession saga continues. It’s a very long book, and like I have said repeatedly my attention span is short—a statement which irritates some mothers. Why degrade our kind with this ‘mommy brain’ talk? I say accept what is true. Our brains have slipped. There [...]
How’s your positivity challenge going, Rebecca? I’m so glad you asked. Well…I’m interested in your life. Well…it’s hard. Oh. I’m not very good at it. Oh. But… But… But I think I’m becoming a different person. That’s pretty major. Thank you for acknowledging what is major in my life. No prob. My life too, right? [...]

I tried to post yesterday, but was deterred by server problems. Did you notice? Hence the reason I’m still on Thanksgiving even though it has probably long past in your minds. But I didn’t get to share my thoughts! I DIDN’T GET TO SHARE MY THOUGHTS!!!! I am currently having a tantrum if that wasn’t [...]

Did you know red heads are going extinct? News to me. This is a video I uploaded all by myself. Not to mention I added a score. I rock. Anything I do on my Mac that doesn’t involve Simon is a victory. …but because this was a solo endeavour, the title of the video is [...]

Sadly, I had to revert to my old theme. For now. There are too many things Depo Square can’t do for me in this moment. We might be get back together in the future. Thanks for your thoughts though as I consider my evolution. On another note, I have 85 days left in my positivity [...]
