Ethan doesn’t end up in the spotlight so much as his sister does, and the things he says have a definitely different quality to them. Not so much funny “hah hah” but funny that it’s coming from an 8 year old. It’s not “cute” per se, but a little surprising anyway. (more…)
Try a box of crayons. From the inventor of the A/C laptop:
“If you need me while I’m on my camping trip, either call Daddy, or draw a picture of me and talk to it.” ~ Mary
Is it a good thing or a bad thing that my 8 year old son is better at making cheeseburgers than I am?
It’s been a nasty year for allergies. I’ve been living off as much loratadine + pseudoephedrine as I can afford, not to mention the occasional dose from my albuterol inhaler. Not that it’s helped much. I’d even gone on a course of antibiotics after my doctor and I wondered why I wasn’t feeling better yet. But I was finally starting to feel like I had things in check. So I was caught off guard when my allergies went into overdrive yesterday morning, complete with a sniffly nose and its sore throat companion. (more…)
This morning on Twitter I posted, “Life is like a game of Tetris. Make the most of whatever falls.” Allow me to elaborate.
I had to laugh when I saw Google’s Tetris logo this morning. Things for me have been more than crazy lately: having to find a new apartment, starting school again, changing jobs, rearranging schedules, figuring out how to make ends meet on a fraction of my former budget… You get the idea! Just when I think I’ve got it all put together, something new comes up.
And when it does, I start humming, whistling, or tapping my toes as my mind starts playing the Tetris themesong again. Because even though it sometimes feels like my world is falling down in pieces, somehow (with God’s help!) I’m making it fit together again. When I mess something up, I work around it. And my favorite part? That elated feeling I get when I clear another row. Life is addicting again.
