I just realized that today marks six months since I woke up from the coma. Huh.
I still get to the top of a flight of stairs and am impressed with myself. I wonder when that will get old?
I’ve been finding lately that I’ve been getting these sudden flashbacks (for lack of a better word) to [...]

We got the class lists for the kids today. They send them out to us ahead of time so we can all freak out before school starts, instead of after. Asher was the only one I was really concerned about, given his ‘issues,’ and he didn’t get the teacher I wanted, but got one who [...]

I’ve been sulking because I couldn’t find my card reader and I had some great pictures on my camera. I couldn’t think of anything else to put on the blog but the pictures. Of course, now that I have the pictures downloaded, I can think of lots of other things to blog about.
I rejoined Weight [...]
Raining, pouring

It’s been hot and humid all day, with a huge breeze. I love such weather and opened all the windows as widely as I could. I also did a lot of laundy, because it is perfect laundry-drying weather. The game is, though, to then get your laundry in before it starts to rain. Because a [...]

J and I have been doing a lot of Olympic watching. I’m not much into watching sports normally, but I do like the Olympics.
I have to confess, though, that as I watched Michael Phelps win his gazillionth gold medal, I wondered what it would be like to watch the Olympics if you actually had athletes [...]

I was just downstairs doing laundry. I opened the box of Oxyclean and some of the powder flung up into my eyes. My first thought was that it was only a little bit and wouldn’t hurt. My second thought was: OW OW OW OW.
I charged out of the laundry room (in the basement), ran at [...]
Hanging Out With the Boy

So Boo was still in daycamp this week, even though Asher was already home. It was pottery camp. She was very keen on it. I kind of figured that was a third child thing – happily going off to camp – but I had dinner with a friend who told me her third hates going [...]
It’s raining again …

I took Jasper for a walk yesterday and had a chat with the owner of a bouncy retriever/sheepdog mix while Jasper played with the dog. We commented on how nice the weather was and I then said, “Coming out now was a good idea because it is supposed to rain later.” We both then had [...]
