Drowning In The Carpool
The first few days of school in September are ideal for walking to and fro school. The weather is typically delightful; we are still afresh with energy and enthusiasm for the brand spanking’ new school year. Donning their immaculate new sneakers and backpacks (and the triple stroller), we cheerfully embark on our brief walk to school. Fast forward about a week or two, when the shine has worn off. The sneakers are scuffed, the backpacks are heavier, and the enthusiasm has waned. Late. Every morning of recent weeks has been a car ride in the ole’ mom-mobile rather than a walk through the neighborhood. And even then, we cut it…

Open The Floodgates…
Sometimes, the noise level in the house detracts from being able to string together words into sentences that create posts. Today, it’s not so much the noise level INSIDE the house, but OUTSIDE of it that’s distracting. To be specific, it’s really the noise ON TOP of the house. I’ll explain. It’s obviously been a busy summer; hence the recent lack of posts. Some of it’s the normal buzz of activity. That and the copious amounts of water that seem to be accumulating in my house, in places that water just shouldn’t accumulate. It started with the downstairs toilet. We’ve got two bathrooms in the house; the main floor bathroom…
