Did that catch your attention? Or am I just getting silly from all the paint fumes?
This is a popcorn ceiling.
I have them all over my house, and the ceiling in the kids’ bathroom needed to be painted.
Most people with an ounce of sanity remove the popcorn stuff and then paint.
I am not sane.
I have painted [...]

That things are starting to fall out of my ears.
My end-of-the-school-year forgetfulness is in full swing, and this is not a good thing.
My son has a t-shirt that says it all “May I be excused from class? My brain is full.”
I need that t-shirt, if only to wear as an explanation for my increasingly erratic [...]

Today I bought a box of storebrand frozen fudge bars for my snacking pleasure. I must say they are delicious. As I was slurping one down I read the box, which is what I frequently do with the food that I prepare or eat. Under the bold heading of “12 Fudge Bars” it said “A Quiescently [...]

On my personal day I caught myself thinking about how I was lucky to have gotten out of winter relatively healthy, without having had to take a sick day.
Damn…
Karma has such a way of slapping someone right in the face, you know?
I had to find a substitute teacher for my classroom today, because I needed to [...]

I’m borrowing this love and hate theme from Reflecting for today.
Love: My friends who shared a coffee/tea date with me today. Thanks for the pick-me-up.
Hate: Having to color my own hair. However, in the name of saving money, I have done it.
Love: The gal at Cost Cutters who cut my hair. Thanks for listening.
Hate: The [...]

What a creative title, huh? On with my list.
~Glitter, glitter everywhere. I’ve learned that if you add glitter to a preschooler’s art project everyone will want to make one.
~The Sandbox Season Opener. Truly one of the first signs of spring in our play yard. The sand was flying today!
~The Dress-up Corner. How cute is a [...]

Today I recognized a parent of a former student and called her by her name, and asked how her 2 older boys were by their names. She told me that I was amazing for having remembered all of that. I thanked her, of course, but as I walked away, I realized I should be thanking [...]

Get your minds outta the gutter people. Honestly! It’s about the song and I have another question for you.
Did the monkey chase the weasel around the cobbler’s bench or the mulberry bush?
You know:
All around the cobbler’s bench (or mulberry bush) the monkey chased the weasel,
The monkey thought ’twas all in fun,
Pop goes the weasel!
My father in law [...]

Duck, Duck, Goose?
or
Duck, Duck, Grey Duck?
Just a random question (now survey) that ran through my thoughts this evening as I was blog hopping. Hubby and I grew up in different states (locations, but probably states of mind too) and have had this disagreement (friendly, of course) for 20+ years.
What’s your preference?
Mrs. V (who seriously needs to not [...]
