Updated with long lost picture………Originally Published July 29th…… Kids do weird things, lets face it. Our family is not immune to the strange habits of the small to medium child. When they start climbing the walls, you have to wonder if everything is ok, will it be ok and what the hell do I do now? Wall climbing: climb (klm)
The Weight of the World
Here it is again, that one day of the week the whole world hates. ….MONDAY ……The energy, or lack of, is palpable. Everyone is tired and cranky, in a rush and usually late. Things always seem to go wrong on Monday mornings when you’re trying to get organised.
Don’t Put Chocolate in your Hoohaa- Just Trust Me, OK?
You might think that not putting chocolate up inside yourself would be obvious ………..I’m a smart lady and that would seem like a given right? but I’m here to assure it’s not. When you’re young and silly, you are apt to try new things. This is good because new experiences help you grow as a person. This is also …
The Aging Face and the Youthful Heart
It’s my birthday today and although I’m happy to grow another year older and I’m not really concerned with my onward march through middle age, I do see the years catching up in the mirror. I see my mum and my grandmother looking back at me in different parts of my face. It’s funny how that works. One day it’s …
I Survived My First ‘Real’ Subway Breakdown
I had my first bonafide, actual, stuck in the tunnel subway ride on the weekend. We were headed downtown for some awesome family weekend activity, when between 86th and 81st the train came to a screeching halt. Now I wasn’t too concerned to start with because as millions of strap-hangers know, the MTA sucks. Trains stop, then go and some …
Did You Ever Want to be a Turtle?
Today is yucky, it’s pouring rain……total cats and dogs pouring! All the lights are on in the house because it’s so dark. Little Miss Gremlin is home sick and Sir Lickalot is pacing like a caged lion but refuses to go out onto the terrace and I’m puddleducking* outside for no dog. So here we are ……..set for one of …
I Need You to Take This – PLEASE
This has been stuck in my head for days, actually days and days! Don’t even ask. It won’t go away no matter what I try. It’s all consuming…………..so I’m giving it to you, in hope that you shall take it and love it and pass it on and I don’t have to have it …….ANYMORE. You’re welcome……and……..I’m sorry 🙂
Reason # 73 for Being Crazy
Sir Lickalot has a girlfriend, He doesn’t see her much because we can’t handle the stress but when he does, he’s an all or nothing boy! Miss Vegas belongs to the Princess and when she’s in da house, it’s total KAOS. The kids want her attention, Sir Lickalot wants her attention. I just wanna reach for something fully bodied and …
I’m An Excellent Driver
Back in ’98 we acquired a 1967 Red Mustang Convertible. I say acquired because around that time we had dealings with certain people who had abilities to make things appear. Not illegally, just unconventionally 🙂 It was an odd time, the late ’90’s, with private jets and long cars and hotel penthouses but that’s a whole other story……. The Red …
