I started playing Professor Layton and the Curious Village in Skater Wannabee's DS.  There are weekly puzzles to download.  I use TDS for internet at home so I have one of six routers that Nintendo does not support.  I spent over an hour yesterday trying to make the USB Wi-Fi Connector to work and failed spectacularly.  Therefore I brought it to ( Read more... )

My kids have been gone since Saturday and the amount of resources I have used has dropped dramatically:

• Will run the dishwasher tonight
• 2 loads of laundry
• 1 bag of garbage
• Lights on in only one room at a time

I've also been eating exactly how much I cook or taking it to work for lunch, so no food has been wasted. Can I evict them?

The kids have survived having milk reintroduced into their diet and started eating like shit. The urge to eat every item they have been denied for the last six years is obscene. They started a list. Butter has returned to the house, but the still prefer the taste of soy milk. Whatever.

I'm sitting at the pool last night wishing time would move a hell of a lot faster and my cell phone rang. It was this guy and he was asking for Skater Wannabe. Went into total mom mode and started questioning the guy. Seems she won a costume based on this new comic called Dreadnought: Invasion Six. It will be made of spandex which is great ( Read more... )

Since my brother's wedding will take a lot out of me and the girls I thought doing something low key might be in line for their birthday. They are very excited about Dungeons & Dragons right now, so thecoddess offered up zman923 to run an all day game for the girls and some friends.

We recently watched the Dragonlance cartoon which I thought was a great primer ( Read more... )

The short people are ten years old. This is the age many kids grow out of allergies to milk thus it is time to play mad scientist. I took them to Coldstone yesterday and allowed them to have whatever their little hearts desired. My guess is the experiment is a failure. Both children were so gassy last night that I'm surprised the cops didn't ( Read more... )

School doesn't end for another week and one goal has been completed.

• Howl’s Moving Castle Papercraft
• Shuttle Run measures quickness/coordination by performing the shuttle run as fast as possible. The measurement is the time it takes a person to run 30 feet, pick up a small wooden block, run back and place the block down behind the starting line ( Read more... )

I may have borrowed a shirt ot two from a guy during my life that I mistakenly kept, but my child has become the angel of vengenance for those men. Skater Wannabe keeps trying to turn all my cool t-shirts into pjs for her. Like I'm going to let that slob stain my Death Jr. t-shirt with chocolate soy milk. She even tried saying my QC t-shirt was ( Read more... )
