Terrible Tuesday: sigh
For a short month, February sure is long. Unadorned links! The Spaced-Out Challenge that ate Manhattan. It’s very big. Mother’s milk made to order for boys and girls. Got an important decision to make? Dim the lights. From the Stuff Christians Like Pinterest Board. It is necessary to have living sperms to get pregnant for […]

Terrible Tuesday: Birthday boy edition
Bulldozer turns 9 today. Nine! How did that even happen? It. Goes. So. Fast. He’s getting a Kindle for his birthday. He knows he’s getting it, and he even picked out the case for it, but I told him if doesn’t act surprised I won’t give it to him. We have to maintain our little […]

Terrible Tuesday: ditch the plan
Uncooperative computer, delayed day because of freezing rain, general mayhem. This day mocks my plans. FINE! Roll-with-the-punches links! A bittersweet story about a man who has fed thousands and thousands of people in Houston for three decades. I really hope someone(s) step up to take his place. “Schooling ain’t learning.” Although this is talking specifically […]

Terrible Tuesday: Weather mood swings.
Sunday, the highs were in the mid-70s. Yesterday the lows were in the high-20s. It’ll be in the 60s again by Thursday. We may get snow next week. It’s making me woozy. Hot and cold links! Speaking of cold, a neurobiologist thinks central heating may contribute to obesity. Hmm. Homeschool Barbie! I giggled. A British […]

Terrible Tuesday: Avoiding the chaos
For over a month, I have been putting off cleaning my guest room/office. It was a mess before the holidays, but it also becomes a storeroom during Christmas as we shove extra boxes and whatnot (lots of whatnot) in there. It is, to put it bluntly, a disaster zone. Moreover, there are some important papers […]

Terrible Tuesday: Winter fantasy
I have a dream that a huge winter storm comes and cancels all of our appointments and games and activities and what have you for two weeks. And then I wake up and remember I live in Texas. Oh well. We’re busy, but it was 70 degrees this weekend. It’s all about the trade-offs. Dealing-with-it […]

Terrible Tuesday: Stinky edition
The good news is we got the gas leak fixed and the permit issued yesterday. The bad news is apparently the permit office didn’t get the permit to the gas company, or possibly they did, but it didn’t make it through the system to actually get our gas turned back on. The upside is that […]

Terrible Tuesday: stick a fork in 2013
Anyone else glad to see this year in the rear view? Space links! Did you get a telescope for Christmas? Are you wondering, “What now?” Well, wonder no more! The Spaced-Out Challenge tells you how and where to begin exploring the universe. Sign up for alerts from NASA to see when the space station flies […]

Terrible Tuesday: Bake all the things
It’s baking day! Pecan pie, apple pie, French Silk pie, and cranberry bread are on the agenda. We’ll also be participating in the greatest of all Thanksgiving traditions: exploding cranberries. Preparatory links! We saw Day of the Doctor on the big screen last night. It. Was. Awesome. Take a quiz to find out which Doctor […]

Terrible Tuesday: A relapse
A couple of weeks ago, I announced an end to our hideously Terrible Tuesdays as we dropped a speech therapy session and Sprite’s softball. This week we have to have speech today because of a field trip on Thursday. So while it’s not hideous, it’s still a pretty darn ugly Tuesday. Tuesdays are the days […]
