The Original Drama Mama

No, no, this is not some review of a bizarre new strip club where the girls wear space suits and the poles look like rockets…so if that’s what you’re looking for please go away and never come here again.
Or better yet you can go to this website, which is a link a fellow homeschool mom [...]

Recently, I read a little article in one of the many parenting magazines I receive (more about my magazine habit and how I keep it under control later) that asked moms to reveal a “kid-like” trait of theirs. Answers varied from cutting crusts off sandwiches to having to touch everything. So I thought…what kid-like quirks [...]

But a pale lime…or celery? Maybe.
Our mini herb garden, “It’s alive!”
10 days after we got things going, things are, well – going!
All 4 of the pots we planted managed to germinate and show evidence of green growth, it was actually quite exciting!
Of the 5 day germinators, the basil seems to be chugging along better than [...]

Often, you (and by you, I guess I mean me) hear people complain about the way technology is destroying mankind. Not robots harvesting humans for… (what would robots harvest humans for anyway?)type stuff; just the simple fact that the more ways we have to communicate, the less we seem to connect.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, blah-blah-blah. I’m [...]

Looking at the title of this post, I realize “litter” could be read as a noun or a verb…I guess I could mean both. Y’know, like the word “cook” is a noun or a verb.
In the case of it being a noun, “lazy people” would modify the word – telling us just what type of [...]

Indoors, that is. We planted a mini herb garden, and hopefully in a few weeks we’ll have a luscious crop of Basil, Sweet Marjoram, Parsley, and Cilantro.
Hopefully.
The project was simple, and not too messy…we used a gift A.J. had been given for the holidays (to which her original response was, “Oh great. A plant.”  Luckily [...]

I just really found this fascinating, odd…but fascinating.
Keep in mind I’ve had two glasses of wine tonight.
Did you kow that “Snap-Crackle-Pop” is not universal? Nope (at least that’s what Wiki tells me) The following has been cut and pasted from a wikipedia article:
The onomatopoeic noises differ by language:

English: “Snap! Crackle! Pop!”
Canadian French: “Cric! Crac! Croc!”
Spanish: [...]

Yours truly had a birthday in here somewhere.
Now, usually I don’t do cake…it’s really just not my thing. I was that weird kid who didn’t like frosting.
But Beth, my friend who makes all the incredible edibles you have seen me post here, convinced my husband (upon delivering the cake seen in my previous post) that [...]

There’s really not much to say here, a few months ago my husband underwent a procedure and decided a celebration was in order.
And what’s a party without cake?

Also on the menu were cocktail weenies, bbq meatballs, cheese balls, donut holes, and those little sweet pickles.
Yes, you detect a theme.
Congrats to my man, who was man [...]

There are a few places I indulge…things I buy that are luxury items for someone like me who usually only makes a purchase if it’s on sale (and hopefully I have a coupon too).  Among these indulgences are scones and non-fat venti cafe mochas at Starbucks, BabyLegs for Miss G (that’s an addiction I’ll delve [...]
