The Stars and Wipes

Y’all, I had the best meeting yesterday with Stella’s new teacher.  As you probably recall, we had a horrendous kindergarten year with a horrible demon of a teacher I referred to as the Harpy.  After loads of meetings during the … Continue reading →

A Midsummer Fight’s Dream

Posted on July 28, 2016 by larva225

Is it just me, or are most young children borderline schizophrenic?  It makes sense to me.  The constant jabbering to themselves, the odd noisy outbursts, paranoia manifested as an intense fear of threats to life and limb – like dead … Continue reading →

Goodbye Booby Tuesday

Posted on July 27, 2016 by larva225

No, this post has nothing at all to do with ta-tas.  Sorry.  I’m sure there are at least a few disappointed folks out there. This post will be discussing more of my son’s antics.  He’s been setting booby traps all … Continue reading →

You Bear It Well

Posted on July 25, 2016 by larva225

Will and I figure Stella is old enough now to start really helping out around the house, earning an allowance.  Remember those giant bears I got at Costco/Voldemart?  I decided that would be good fodder for a  practice run at being … Continue reading →

A Sight for More Eyes

Posted on July 22, 2016 by larva225

Maybe I should have been named “Sybil.”  According to my son, I am something of a collective.  He now refers to me as “my family,” pronounced “famiwee” of course.  When I pick him up from school he hollers “hey my … Continue reading →

You Do the Hokey Poke(mon) and You Turn Yourself Around…

Posted on July 18, 2016 by larva225

So who’s the last person in the world you or I would ever think would play this infernal game?  That’s right.  Me.  Well, maybe a close 2nd to Kim Jong Un.  Then again….  In any case, Will started it by … Continue reading →

Push and Bull

Posted on July 15, 2016 by larva225

Y’all, I have been utterly uninspired lately.  Maybe it’s the news and all the bullshit that seems to go on these days.  Maybe it’s the summer doldrums.  I get snippets of my usual brilliant flashes (eye rolling), but nothing ever … Continue reading →

Wine and Dandy

Posted on July 12, 2016 by larva225

Enough, Whole 30 “eating plan.”  I’ve endured 30 days as of today.  I think, however, I’m quitting about 6 hours early.  Here’s where I stand: 13 or so pounds down.  Not bad. Way more awareness about how much garbage I … Continue reading →

This Is Not a (Pro)Test

Posted on July 9, 2016 by larva225

I’m not going to get preachy or judge-y.  Last night got kind of scary. There were protests over the Alton Sterling shooting that happened here a handful of days ago.  This latest protest was along a major thoroughfare in town … Continue reading →

Damn Chowder

Posted on July 8, 2016 by larva225

2016 is going to be the Summer of Dammit.  It’s only early July and thus far it’s been one dammit moment after another.  (And I am not discussing current events.  Enough people are “sharing” uncontrollably about that.) It started with … Continue reading →
