This is post number 98 I believe, and I haven’t posted since Saturday’s quick pic from JC’s swim lesson. I can read your minds. You’re thinking, What is going on over Continue reading

“Yeah Blue, I’ve Got Two!”
This week my soon-to-be eight-year-old son M. performed in his school play. About a month or two ago we started getting handouts with song lyrics and dates and scripts.

Are You Smarter Than a Third Grader?
JC’s math homework asked the following question: Kira shares a plate of brownies with friends. Her friends each have 2 more brownies than Kira. There were 33 brownies in all. How many friends are there? Hmmm. Neither my husband nor I could figure this out. I even ran it by some friends who were baffled Continue reading

The Daughter I Never Had
Being the only female in the house, I am The Minority. I’m the sole representative of All Things Female. Since I’m one of four people, I guess that makes me the twenty-five percenter. I AM THE 25%!
