This might be a whiny, ranty bitch session about education, so if this is not near or dear to your heart or you wanna tell me to suck it up… move along because today I own these feelings and I need to get them out. However I will try to stay coherent.
Thanks to the itunes Man
Going through the morning routines today, The King asked me if I spent $113 on itunes? Wait, what? No…. why? Because there’s a 113 bucks out of our account for itunes and 111 the other day. I think we’ve been hacked again. I’ll check it out.
Easter is Quiet Around these parts this Year….
Easter with little kids is a lot like Christmas, the anticipation of the Easter bunny’s impending visit and the egg hunt and the chocolate haze we find ourselves in by noon. But this year, the Easter bunny got a last minute memo to say that Grand Master D and Miss Gremlin would be sleeping at their sister’s place. Miss Gremlin …
A Family Who Eats Together, Walks Together.
New York is a walking town. If you don’t like to walk, seriously don’t come here, you’ll be miserable. Trust me I know. The first time I came I was 16 weeks pregnant with Miss Gremlin.

Just Your Average Saturday on our Planet
Saturdays are quiet around here… Today we just hung out and recovered from the birthday awesomeness. It wasn’t really very different from any other Saturday because we usually do the same thing… It snowed…
You Know You’re Firmly in the Next Stage of Life When Your Baby Turns 9

Madrid by Iphone and the train to Barcelona…
We spent a couple of days looking around Madrid while the King did the business. It rained the whole time but we still enjoyed the sites. The kids even tried Spanish McDonald’s.. verdict? It’s the same.
Where My Kid Clears the Plane… and not in a Good Way
I think I’ve mentioned before, Miss Gremlin has sketchy personal hygiene at best. I try, I really do but she’s just a grub. As these things often go we were on the plane, nicely settled in… but then I could smell someone’s feet. The stench wasn’t too bad but it was starting to waft in our direction. That creepy foul …
Who Knew I Had Hoarder Tendencies…..
I have never thought of myself a a hoarder. Sure I have things from years ago but I still use them, wear them, need them. That’s not a problem. I can throw stuff out, I do it all the time. I regularly go through closets and cupboards and clean out clothing and kitchen appliances.
The Stitches Came Out Today-A Not So Humourous Hump Day Post
In lieu of a humour picture or some funny quotes, today I’m going to show you Miss Gremlin getting her stitches out. Less funny, a little more gruesome but still interesting.
