Small Talk
Motherhood will always have its mysteries
I didn’t really need to mark March 20 as the beginning of spring. I work at a school. All I had to do was walk by a bunch of sixth-graders. There is no more accurate bellwether of the rising sap.
Stop the madness
So I’m watching March Madness with my husband and suddenly, I need a simultaneous translation.
How’s this for a cliffhanger?
I have just found additional proof that change is bad. Especially when it comes to a TV show I like.

You know those times when you look at something relatively simple that has become iconic and think “Man, I wish I had thought of that!”? I feel that way about Comic-Con.
Small, creepy bugs
Never mind the international strife. I’m convinced we are about to be taken over by small, creepy bugs. If it isn’t the head lice at school, it’s ants at my house, inside and out.

Wild kingdom at her fingertips
January. The mandatory time for reflection on life and lessons learned.
