After a four day weekend, Ada is back on her school schedule…as a Kindergartner! She’s in the same classroom with the same teachers that she has had for the last two years. She’ll be with some of her same friends, some friends will be gone, and some new friends will come in. All we had [...]

Mom Blogs Suck

Jun 11th, 2010 // In: Posts // By: // Comments 3

I’m having a hard time adding things here because it just isn’t interesting. That’s because my day isn’t interesting. My life is just house, kids, house, kids, house, kids, taxi service, kids, sometimes my husband. I’m tiring of it. I want to travel somewhere interesting. I want to take my camera with me. I want [...]

The 360 has gone Ford on us

Apr 2nd, 2010 // In: Posts // By: // Comments 1

Our XBox broke, and now that I can’t play FFXIII, I want to play FFXIII*. It isn’t a big deal, actually. The DVD drive quit working. None of the standard troubleshooting issues have worked. The solution: Mac: Our warranty expired in December. Me: Drats. Doesn’t that mean though that we can go ahead and break [...]

Final Fantasy XIII Achievement: Really Long Attention Span

Mar 21st, 2010 // In: Posts // By: // Comments 0

Final Fantasy XIII is really beautiful, as everybody says. It is also really boring, and the dialog is grimacing. I should have learned from the past. When did the Final Fantasy series go downhill? Does anyone remember? Paul? I was trying to recall this fact with Mac. Was it Final Fantasy IX or X that [...]

Saturday with Ada

solar system puzzle Ada’s last dance lesson was today for this particular class. Next Saturday is her recital. They keep parents out to remove distractions for kids. I’m fine with that. She practices at home. We get to see the entire class perform next Saturday. It will be fun to watch them all. After class, [...]

Ada has been home sick the last two days, coughing and fever. She woke up today without fever. If it stays away all day today, then she gets to go back tomorrow. I don’t want her to be sick, but I’ve also been able to sleep in the last few days. Both Jay and I [...]

The Console Trifecta

One weekend when my brother came to visit, he brought his PS3 and left it for me to babysit while he was in the middle of a move. We got our Wii about a week after Jay was born, and have had our 360 for even longer. I never bought into the PS3 because it [...]

Friday Afternoon Hookey I took work off just a tad bit early today. Okay, like 1.5 hours early today. However, I worked until 8:00pm last night, so I felt justified. The weather was beautiful. Mac had a meeting in KC, so I had to go pick up Ada. I asked her what she wanted to [...]
