Scribbles & Towels

September 15, 2008 by Elaine

Post Haste

September 12, 2008 by Elaine

I think most people know that I post the night before. It’s just the best way for me. You know, to do it after the boys are in bed and when my mind is clear as mud. Last night though, I went out. With the girls. With other Moms to a local festival that was…

Momma Said There’d Be Days Like This

September 9, 2008 by Elaine

So yeah….uh… yesterday wasn’t exactly the best of days. Want proof? M’kay. That is (or was) the front end of my vehicle. And yes, it was my fault. And yes again, all three kids (including the one I baby-sit) were in the car. It’s okay, everyone was fine and the kids barely even knew what…

Do you ever find you and your spouse looking at each other on a Saturday morning and saying, “So, what are we going to do this weekend?” There are many weekends when we are booked up and end up with very little “free” time but this weekend was an exception. Thank goodness. We had time…
