Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
Here's the plan: Monday I will print out the homework assignments from the 4 teacher's web sites (nothing for Drama or PE). We will look at them together and rank them in numerical order of due date/amount of time needed for completion. I know he already is warming up to this idea and understands it... Continue Reading →
Yesterday I got a peek into what I think may be at the root of SportBoy's homework woes. I fear it is genetic. That picture up there? Could easily be his dad's or even his grandfather's (dad's side). We have long joked about his dad's "piling system" which, as far as I can tell whenver... Continue Reading →
Are you flashing back to the 80s? Coolio! When did Daylight Savings Time start so dang early? Ok, I think I am vaguely aware that they changed it up, but really, this was EARLY! Thanks be to twitterland I was not caught unawares but really, I also had NO CLUE until Saturday that it was... Continue Reading →
Seriously - those of you with kids, you may begin kissing my feet now. Unless of course you already knew about this dope site that I will share with you which will make you not just hip, but also badass, gnarly, phat, wicked and yes, even awesome. All synonyms for "hip" and described in the... Continue Reading →

I’ve been a baseball fan longer than I can remember. My first girlhood crush was on a baseball player (Carlton Fisk then of the Boston Red Sox). I followed every season from about 1974 on religiously. I collected baseball cards. I’ve watched a LOT of baseball over the years between MLB games and youth baseball... Continue Reading →
If you followed the team from last year, then you know the score was not good for our team 😦 Though it is better than the 0-30 drubbing from last season. So, I guess I did run out of wishes for the year XUP! The scenario is that they again made it to being one... Continue Reading →
Conference Champs again! 16-0 game. No touchdowns for #55 today, but it doesn't matter. The team played awesome as usual. The even more awesome part is that the other team from our league also won at their level so we have two division 1 conference champs and we will be playing back to back again... Continue Reading →
Trees: I know. Lame. But hey, I got the idea for this post at night so I had to make do finding the required pictorial subjects in my house. Flowers: Courtesy of MusicMan. Something about someone gave them to him (I have no clue so dont ask), and he knew I would like them. He... Continue Reading →
OK, no you don't since I have no pictures of the event. Because I am bad that way. But I promise that even though it is 9pm I am grinning ear to ear. And I have been since about 3pm. Which is around when a pass went up in the air to a certain #55... Continue Reading →
