On the left side of the sanity bell curve
Today has been an enlightening day. After my post about Cara’s anxiety over school, I was ready to get her school stuff sorted out and get on with life. Tucker was home today so we had plenty of time to discuss what we wanted to talk about with Cara’s teacher. Looking back on my post,… Continue reading The Parent-Teacher Conference
Roasted/baked chicken is probably one the easiest–and most impressive–things I cook…other than my Braided Egg Bread; that stuff looks amazing and is a cinch.

It’s not that I exercised my fingers, but my… Continue reading The Structural Integrity of Jell-O

This weekend is Tucker’s “drill weekend”. … Continue reading I Love My Husband
I just got a call from someone from the county concerning Cara’s bout with Salmonella.
