If a picture is worth a thousand words…

Then you’re going to have to be content with a thousand words.
‘Cause I got no pictures.
What a week.
I blame the baby. She started off the week sick and decided to cry off and on during the night a few times, sleep in our bed a few times, kick people in the face a few times [...]

You know that saying, “People who live in glass houses, shouldn’t throw stones”?

I take it literally.

Very literally.

Curse you all-glass, totally see-through front doors!

We were sitting down to breakfast the Saturday before last.

The dog started barking.
Mr. French went to the door.
They appeared to be either sales people or Jehovah’s Witnesses.
I was wearing this.

I really wanted to take a shower.

My bedroom is on the other side of the all-glass, totally see-through front doors.

Newsflash: Evidence found to suggest author and daughter might be related.

Have you ever had one of those moments when everything becomes slow motion as you try to grasp the air, trying to stop what you know is inevitable?
Yeah. Me, too.
And it was kind of a lot of sugar to lose too.
I was going to title this: “Grasping at Straws” and then I thought, it’s more [...]

Our maple tree is aflame but my living room is not.

Don’t you love fall?
You were all (all four of you, thanks for playing) good guesses. I didn’t really give you much to work with.
Since I’ve been thinking about it for well over a year, I’ve considered a whole range of colors for the living room and front hall. It’s a very open floor plan (you [...]

What you can’t see won’t hurt you.

Mr. French went out to the car last week and made a little discovery.
He had his suspicions.
Just to make sure it wasn’t the boys, he brought them out for a consultation.
He asked them if they had or knew who had torn this tissue into little itsy bitsy pieces.

C looked at it thoughtfully and said, “No, [...]

Yesterday

Yesterday was the conclusion of Operation: Paint the House.
And by “House”, I mean the entryway, hallways, living room, and around the window in the dining room. (Oh! and the laundry room door. Don’t forget that.)
Everyday, during naptime, late at night, early in the morning, just painting. Or getting ready to paint. Which, frankly, takes as [...]

Bored? Too much time on your hands?

So, Nocturnal Queen gave me a bloggy award! How fun is that?
The rules are that you’re supposed to post about it and then you’re supposed to award Fifteen! more blogs that you discovered recently and then you can see where this is going.
So I thought I’d change the rules a little and give you some [...]

I think I’ve finally figured it out.

Everyone says, when you have a girl, that they’re so fun because you get to dress them.
And I’ll admit, I didn’t really get it.
I mean, you get to dress boys. And they’re cute.

But now, I think I get it.

It’s fun because you get to put her in clothes that you would never wear.

Like magenta leggings.

Raise [...]

Wait a second….

I thought that coffee bag was empty when I put it in the trash.

And I was pretty sure that box of orzo was closed and on a higher shelve.
