As the holidays approach, I think we all get in the mood for some festive recipes. Luckily, Chef Ood has been in the kitchen whipping up something totally new and exciting.
No, it is not that cold in our house. Remember Ood is also a fashion expert; everybody will be wearing fleece hats indoors next season. [...]

tired.
For the first time in many weeks, I think I’ll turn in before midnight.
As soon as I change the laundry, start the dishwasher, clear and wipe the counters and table, sweep the kitchen, look at the homeschool agenda, lay out the kids clothes for tomorrow, make sure everybody is tucked in, and turn down the [...]

Here’s a photo of Pi from five years ago, shortly after we moved here.
Pi submerged herself in the bog that was our yard before we had grass. I still am not sure what kind of mother allows this sort of behavior, or worse, what sort of mother has no regrets when looking at this photo.

Partly because the Baby is now mobile, partly because it’s winter so he’ll be indoors most of the time, and partly for revenge over the vomit, I finally “winterized” the Fuzz.
First the worm pill. Open wide! He loves this part.
Next the pedicure. He’s just grateful I’m not poking a worm pill down his throat anymore.
And [...]

Re: Thanksgiving
I could make a list of all the things I’m thankful for, and it would be long. I would put sunshine, internet, and Mr. Clean Magic Erasers that can take permanent marker off maple cabinets. We have freedom and all of life’s necessities like running water and microwave ovens. I am thankful for Dutch [...]

Watch out, Fuzz, you are on my list. I already have your worm pills, and a bottle of lavender baby shampoo. Your time is coming, there is no escape. MWA HA HA HA HA!

I looked at the list of eight songs from a couple days ago and thought, no, no, that’s not it at all. It needs some Annie Lennox. Every time I listen to her, makes me want a hair cut. (Especially the wigs in this one.)

I asked Isp what he wanted for his birthday dinner. He started to automatically quip, “Pizz–” but stopped short and revised hiself, “Yams! We never, never have yams. Why don’t we ever have yams?”
“Are you saying you want yams for your birthday dinner?”
His face brightened. “Yes!” He ran off giggling.
Who am I to argue with [...]

Katie at No Assembly Required tagged me for Crazy Eights.
I’ve never actually done a meme before. This took a really long time. I missed my NaBloPoMo deadline. I hope you’ll listen to every song, because that was the killer.
8 things I’m passionate about: At first I thought, how can I come up with eight? As [...]

And thus spake Ood (4):
“I have to wash my hands so I don’t get spear.” (staph)
“A pokeek!” (peacock)
examining a cut on his finger: “Those little round red things that are dark in the middle will come out!” (Yes, red blood cells.)
“Mom, even when you do nice things, you are still a bad guy!”
me: “Yeah, I’m [...]
