Daily Drama – Hamster Cannibalism
Reposting this Tale in Honor of my son’s hamster Hannibel…(formerly known as Blaze until my Bad Ass Dad renamed him after the following tale)…Sadly, Hannibel passed away this morning. According to the Pet Store the two gents my son was given as birthday gifts, Chinese Hamster Dwarfs (unlike many rodent species), would live in together …
Daily Drama – Break Week
Are we really sure it is Break Week from school again already? We are? Ok. And ya, somehow I managed to get myself 5 days off in a row. Not even sure how my boss let that happen, but I am seriously considering reporting myself back to work. Today. It’s not that my kids don’t …
party Tale – Post holiday Show
My kids kicked off a post Holiday show which began on Christmas Day and the party has been non-stop ever since. Mini-Me wanted to model all her new clothing for me, cracking jokes the entire time: At a pair of jeans which were a tad too short for her long, thin legs she shrugged and said, “Well …
holiday Tale – “What’s Going on Here?”
Tonite my sweet Mini-Me shoved her brand new Samsung phone in face with her calendar displayed announcing, “Yup, just 5 more days until Christmas,” then turned to ask her little brother if he was” fine” with having a “Charlie Brown tree” since we have no tree at all yet. Next, she tortured me by blasting …
Daily Drama – Handled with Care
Soooo the Worship Chair Committee Head called today to make sure the Poinsettias I had picked up for the Church today will be “ok” with me until Saturday, and proceeded to give approximately 9,000 detailed instructions as to how they should be Handled with Care. I did not take any offense to this. After all …
week Tale – Buck it Up
So I’ve had another two mildly traumatic week partially induced by the pre-and-post election action posted all over Facebook. I do have a habit of over-analyzing things and internalizing stress. My own and that of others. Probably not the best idea. Therefore, I called my very wise father to tell him how I was feeling. “Wah-wah …
Daily Drama – I’m ba-ack
That would be me. After surviving a hellacious week, an amazing trip to Maine, a hurricane, and a couple of days with no power I am back on the grid. Fortunately, per usual, my children keep me grounded and my mini-me always has a way of cheering me up in her quiet way even though she …
Daily Drama – Great Escape
This week’s Hamster Wellness Check did not go well. Not at all. Today, I discovered during a lunch break while working from home both had made their Great Escape. Apparently someone had left the cage unlatched. We won’t even discuss the total disaster they left in their wake on top of my son’s dresser including, shredded paper dresser, …
Daily Drama – Typical Tuesday
So I told my son I loved this morning, and to have a “Great Day!,” yet sent him off to school with no lunch or snack. Oh, I also managed to remove his assignment book out of his backpack. I just cannot remember why?!? Wooow. I did save face by hauling ass to the school …
