A Tangled Yarn of Thoughts Being Unravelled…
We are enjoying an extended weekend this time around due to a local holiday and it's been fun. With family swimming time (which largely include splashing about and running after MLM to make sure he's got this swimming vest on before jumping into the deep end of the pool), nice long lunches, a rather lazy...

Well most parents who're reading this are going-DUH! But for the uninitiated and those who just "love" kids, here are some telltale signs that a mini-adult inhabits a particular dwelling.

Red's grandmother passed away this evening. She was a week shy of her 97th birthday. She was quite an interesting person and while I did not love her, I did like her. Quite a bit. I think it takes a lot of forbearance to not give up the will to live when everyone who was... Continue Reading →
As a parent I find that I am plagued by expectations. Whether or not I mold my behavior accordingly isn't the matter at hand but I find that I am so much more susceptible to having expectations from my child, about my child and basically it's a never-ending story. What started off this particular line... Continue Reading →
