I saw what you did there.

I did too. It's a line that always makes me cry, although less so when said by a fly.

Nevaeh is actually the 35th most popular girl's name (in 2011), with 6030 babies named that. The miss-spelling, Neveah, is also in the top 1000, and 290 girls were named that in 2011.

Apparently some Christian rock dude named Sonny Sandoval named his daughter that in 2000, and tens of thousands of people thought it was a good idea. [Edit: after watching his appearance on MTV Cribs.]

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

How do you moms (and dads, but it seems to be a mom thing with my friends) a) get your kids to do the homework and b) not explodiate with rage.

Noah does some at after care and some at home. Grace does all her homework at home. I just basically sit at the table with them and tell them what to write and when. there are high fives with each page finished.

Noah does not like homework at all. Yet we have a DK math for first grader's book and he has done, oh, maybe 80 pages of it in the past week. And then he decided to make his own. So I think we might say, "If you finish your homework then you can work on your math book." Grace is not so motivated nor as able to work independently.

I bought 3 yards of fabrics to make hospital gowns for Grace. If we have to continue to go to the hospital, then she will at least get to wear what she likes and have stylish fabrics -- she chose rockets for one, owls for a second and then a cool remnant that has woodcuts on it.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I know I mentioned earlier that a co-worker was giving me some venison. OMG...some? A huge cooler FULL. There are breakfast sausages, game salami, fillet mignon, bunches of steaks, and I've only dug through the top couple of layers.

I tried to offer him home made cookies or something in return (before I realized how much there was) and he said that it was thanks for all the help I've given him all year. I prepare one report a month for him...takes about 5-10 minutes a month.

DUDE. That's awesome! You won't need to buy meat all year!

I keep trying to get my coworkers in AK to send me salmon or crab, or give it to me when I'm there, but so far no luck.
