Something Wicked This Way Hums

Posted on September 7, 2017 by

Putting the Chart Before the Horse

Posted on August 29, 2017 by

So it seems the charting has begun in Felix’s pre-K classroom.  I can’t say I’m surprised.  I suppose I had hoped the new teacher would have stuck to her guns a bit longer, but hey – I’m just a dumb … Continue reading →

Memes Like Old Times

Posted on August 23, 2017 by

Do y’all remember that old movie, something about Bodysnatchers?  As I recall, it’s basically the classic scenario where aliens descend and use mind control to take over people in an attempt to ultimately conquer the planet. I think those bodysnatchers … Continue reading →

I can feel anxiety creeping up on me.  It’s fairly diffuse but I can feel it getting stronger.  It’s all kid-related and due to the imminent changes. Today will be the last day I pick Felix up from his play … Continue reading →

Girls Just Wanna Have Fund

Posted on November 16, 2015 by

I’ve been AWOL from the blog I suppose.  Work has been busy.  On top of that, I’ve entered into that sphincter-tightening state of mind in which one realizes that the holidays are careening headlong into one’s life.  I mean, Thanksgiving … Continue reading →

Lesson Than Zero

Posted on October 23, 2015 by

Put Your Peddle to the Metal

Posted on August 26, 2015 by

Yeah so school.  I really am in a better place about much of this since I last talked about it (https://larva225.wordpress.com/2015/08/21/when-you-wish-upon-a-start/).  That doesn’t mean there’s not still frustrations and angst.  That also doesn’t mean I’m not drinking a bit more … Continue reading →

Stella has now been going to her new school for nearly a month.  We’ve been so anxious after our experience at the Stepford Academy, but so far so good.  In other words, I have not been summoned to The Office.  … Continue reading →
