Last night my 3 and a half year old was playing 'store," one of her favorite pretending games, and so she was giving me things to ring up, since I was the "payer lady." As I was totaling her items, she pulled out one of those return postcards that come inside magazines and handed it to me, then asked, "Do you take competitors coupons?" Her Dad and I then proceeded to laugh our heads off for the next ten minutes.
I guess it's no secret I like to shop and as a...
The girls and I went out around 7 tonight to enjoy the late evening breeze. My youngest was running through the sprinklers, but when her sister went to turn the water down, a mama bird came flying out of our Camilla bushes. Every time my oldest went near the faucet after that you could hear the mama bird protest. I figured she must have a nest nearby. A little while later, the mama got really upset and I saw a baby bird fluttering around on our porch, followed by my cat who had up to...
My 8 year old tried to tell me, but I was busy writing an e-mail. Those few extra minutes ended up costing me a lot more time in clean up. Needless to say, my 3 year old went straight into the bath tub while I hosed down the kitchen.

Whatever the case, I have been having major baby longings lately. I suppose it's inevitable. My almost 4 year old is growing out of babyhood. In fact, she reminds me daily that she's a 'big girl' and seems to have given up naps completely.
So when I see the rolly polly legs of babies and the tiny clothes in stores that no longer fit...
It's been awhile since I've sat down to write. I was out of town for most of one week and my Dad had surgery which threw off last week, plus the holiday. But lately it's been hard to blog because my house is soooo hot during the day. Needless to say a swamp cooler doesn't work once it's over 90...and 108? FORGET IT! So, we divide our time between Barnes and Noble or other well cooled places. And, as I have every year since birth (minus the 2 summers I spent living elsewhere) I curse my...
