  • I'm starting to feel seriously oppressed by The Man

    So FINALLY Mike was accepted off the wait list for Kindergarten. For our local public school. Did you catch that? He was put on the wait list for our neighborhood public school. That we pay tax dollars to. That we moved to this area to attend. Give me a break. But now that I’ve gotten…

  • Unreasonably happy

    This is the boys current favorite song: It means so much to me to be able to share the music I love with my kids. They have asked for this song every time we’ve gotten in the car for days now.

  • Rock on, Dudelets!

    The boys love watching the Talking Heads music video “Stop Making Sense.” The music is great, and everyone in the family likes it. But now we need some more music to watch. I’m looking for good adult music, no bad language, no crowd shots of people smoking pot, and so on. For example: Great music…
