New and improved!
If you were wondering if I'm a nice mom or not I just gave a kid a giant container of mixed nuts and told them to sort the nuts. Bwa ha ha!

Yesterday I taught one of the kids my organization system for holiday cooking and baking. Their eyes got big as they realized my genius and then they made us corn dogs.

Perfectly timing my trip to Arc to occur after the tempting coffee shop is closed. 💸

It’s a great time of year to keep a pop in your car because it’s the perfect temperature.

Someone asked Dad if he was going home for Thanksgiving. I’m ready to tear my hair out.*

*Because Dad is never coming home. Not when home is with my mom and he’s in a nursing home.

Kids are not pleased I’m staying for the encore.

I've warned everyone that the TV is MINE in about fifteen minutes. I've been waiting for a year and a half for Ken Burns and I'm not missing it for any of their shenanigans.

Yesterday when I was out and about I ran into someone I really like and admire and then proceeded to spew out a word salad that not even the best wordsmith would be able to decipher. I feel like an idiot.

I’m not impressed

I’m so very cozy!

Husband turned on the heat this morning. It smells weird in here.

Tonight’s live broadcast at Ted Mann is fantastic.

What does a 14yo want for his birthday? I’m totally stuck and it’s in a week.

Does my oldest need an engraving kit for his birthday yes or maybe? I can’t guarantee he won’t threaten to pin down his siblings and try and tattoo them. Or himself.

Got all ready to go today and one of my autoimmune diseases flares up and I end up going nowhere.

There was about a twenty minute part of today that was so much like a Sunday afternoon at my parent’s house. Football, diet pepsi, popcorn and my brother and I making semi-inappropriate jokes over in the corner. ❤️

Happy November!!

Tonight we’ll be drinking tea and hot cocoa and eat candy and biscotti in the basement with all the lights out.

Happy Halloween to all but especially the kids who vomited last night and can't go trick or treating.

Halloween mini totes were just put out on the floor at the Trader Joe's by 494.

I’m trying really hard to make supper and it’s just really hard. It’s just pork roast but there are so many obstacles and my brain can’t figure out a way around them.

My Dad is able to leave the hospital now, but not strong enough to go back to his care home. He's going to a rehab place by Cedar Lake and we're going back to me driving my mom there every day. Who is the goddess of patience? I need to make her offerings.

I opened a bag of candy and I've eaten so many I feel ill. I feel my self control has gone the way of my jawline and simply disappeared.
