  • A day late to the party, but the kids have hijacked the computer this week and I’ve been coughing so much I haven’t cared to be on it anyway….however…..bright and early Saturday morning and I’m feeling fine-ish and they are sleeping so it’s MINE.  ALL.  MINE.  And I’m joining in with Jen and her weekly…

  • It was a brisk one here this weekend…no snow, but with lows in the 30’s and highs in the 50’s, that’s a little on the cold side here in sunny FLA.  On the bright side, the cooler weather made it positively perfect for a fire in the backyard on Friday night.  Some of us even…

  • It’s been an interesting week and in light of Sede Vacante (no Pope at the moment, in case you missed any/all of the news), it’s a somber time as we wait on the conclave to decide our next Pope.  Historical.  Fascinating.  In light of this transitional time, I thought I’d do my version of 7QTs with…

  • To flu vaccinate or no….

    An interesting debate to be sure and I’m curious to see why YOU have to say about this.  Of course, this won’t be all serious, I do have some funny-ish stuff to report as well 😉 So, a few months back I heard Mac and Katherine on Catholic in a Small Town podcast discussing Katherine’s…

  • Don’t worry, the WHOLE post won’t be a play-by-play of all the sick deets of our household, just the funnyish bits and lo, they are a plenty. Our swell journey o’ sickness began Saturday afternoon when our oldest son phoned for a pick-up from his skate day…..at 4:30!!!  For this kid, who will skate from…

  • A little fun on Sunday

    Apparently this Harlem Shake is all the rage, so I wanted to pass it on to you for your enjoyment….there’s a bunch of videos out there, but these are two of my faves.  Gotta love having a 13 year old in the house to keep you up on the trends, yo! Harlem Shake Army style:…

  • Just another day…

    Valentine’s day, meh.  We don’t really do it up here.  Usually just a little sweet token for everyone and the classroom valentine swap and that’s about it.  As Hubby says, “Everyday is Valentine’s Day around here!”, ummmm ok…….LOL!  In my younger years, I was pouty when I didn’t get my trinkets or sufficient sweetness, now…
