The Sandwich Generation

I talked to a twenty-something young man the other day who had never heard the term “Sandwich Generation”. Basically, the idea is that anyone who has kids (whether they’re young or older but who still need financial support and/or who live at home) and also elderly parents who they are responsible for caring for is […]

Charlie Content As Requested

Due to a PD day later this week at work, I ended up with an unusual mid-week day off. But that was okay as it gave me an excuse to take Charlie for a walk and meet the kids after school which was a first…

Music Monday – “Everybody’s got the fever/That is something you all know/Fever isn’t such a new thing/Fever started long ago”

I’m home with a sick kid today (plus had ice cream for breakfast as I have a sore throat myself!) so a rough couple of months in terms of family health continues… Ironically, we only dealt with Covid once (Pace for a week in early October) and, knock on wood, no one else in the […]

Saturday Snap – Spot The Puppy

Sasha buried me in blankets and toys the other night and I swear there’s a puppy in this photo too though he may be hard to spot…

Agribition Supervision

With my criminal record check approved, I was off to be a parent chaperone for Sasha’s class visit to Agribition today. (Good thing it was approved as I had a few moments of “Oh-oh – that’ll get you on a list!” during the day – from accidentally leaving the house with my fly down to […]

Saturday Snap – A Day in the Life

I was off on Friday and had a busy day… 5am  – Charlie wakes us up.  Years ago, 5am used to be the time I went to bed but not anymore! 6am  – watch “Stutz” on Netflix with Shea.  Wonder if therapy is easier or harder if you’re rich and famous. 8am – drive Pace […]

Saturday Snap – Tumbleweeds in the Tylenol Aisle

Good thing the pandemic’s over or else I’d worry about this shortage of children’s medicine! (Funny story – we’re out of kids’ meds at home too and Sasha’s been sick a lot lately so Shea asked the pharmacist and managed to snag a mini-bottle of kids’ Tylenol.  Then we got home and didn’t see it […]

The World Is Nuts (aka What’s Keeping Me Sane These Days?)

One of the questions I answer in my annual “End of Year” meme questionnaire is “What kept you sane this year?” It’s a bit early but it’s been a rough year (and a very rough month) for a variety of reasons I may or may not expand on someday.  But anyhow, I thought I’d post […]

Saturday Snap – Introducing Our New Dog!

Charlie Echo, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. Charlie is his first name and yes, the most obvious name for a King Charles Spaniel (but maybe the only name that could get four-way agreement in the family.) Echo for a lake near where he was born. (And if you’re going full Military Alphabet, I guess we […]
