I go online sometimes, but everyone's spelling is really bad. It's... depressing.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

She ate broccoli last night. Apparently if it's mixed with homemade Mac and cheese she's okay wit it.

Our wings are not tired.

The food thing can be a huge issue.

Yeah, we all go through food stages. That is one thing I refused to fight about. (well, really I didn't waste energy fighting with the kids about much of anything.) They get hungry and they eat.

Yeah, I'll eat just about anything if you put it in homemade M&C too!!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Way to adult, askye!

I left the house with a friend and her toddler and we went to the park! Yay, sunshine! Though it was a little colder than the other day. Wish I could stay outside in it for longer but the kiddo needed his nap. And my friend's place isn't positioned right to get much sun.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Mr. S isn't terribly picky about food right now(it seems to be anybody's guess whether he'll eat the vegetable du jour.) Dinner time has other perils, with him throwing things, like cups, utensils and food.

We seem to have skipped over the part of fall I like, where it's 70 and sunny. It was in the 50s today. Yuck.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You guys, if I do one thing this weekend (and I'm hoping to do very little this weekend!), I have got to install my new thermostat. I got it over the summer, and meant to install it before it was time for heat, alas. But my mother is gone all day, so it won't bother her if I end up turning off her power as well as mine, so SATURDAY IS THE DAY.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

I am pretty thrilled to have gotten to the point with Jane where we have three kinds of meals that she will actually eat some of: pasta with tomato sauce; rice and yogurt (and some sort of actual food for the rest of us, like dal or curry or chili); and the vegetarian family special from a local chain, which includes mashed sweet potatoes and corn muffins. She will generally also eat cheese and fruit, and sometimes a PB&J. This is like twice as much as she'd eat a year or two ago!
