Tuesday, June 6, 2023 I decided last week that we should have a pizza party in the cul-de-sac. On Friday, we put up a sign on the group mailbox inviting people to rsvp to Keith’s phone by noon on Sunday. It was short-ish notice, but I just decided to have a party and we needed […]
Monday, June 5, 2023 Today I was having low blood pressure…because huh. I mostly did nothing, which is a pretty perfect thing to do on the first day of summer vacation. (To be honest, there was a sub job posted this morning that I would have liked to do. I woke up half an hour
Sunday, June 4, 2023 Sean had a car smoosh last night. Benjamin was out dealing craps at the senior party at the high school. Sean was driving a friend home about 11:30pm when a car turned left in front of her. Smoosh. It was a very young driver who had gotten her car the day
Saturday, June 3, 2023 Keith wins a best dad award today, and it isn’t even Father’s Day. After Alexander tried and returned the shoes from the first Bubba Gump’s expedition, Keith really went on the hunt. Nike doesn’t make the shoes that Alexander has been wearing (out) anymore, but Keith found some (very lightly) used

Thursday, June 1, 2023 I did not have to work today! Very exciting. We got a text from Sean saying, “This was so cute!” I was intrigued. Then the story followed. A kid knocked on their door a few minutes after 8am and said, “The bus just went right past me. Will you take me
Wednesday, May 31, 2023 Happy our anniversary! We bought more flowers, went to see the Little Mermaid (what was with that rap-y song?), and watched TV. It was just like every other day of our marriage – lovely.
Tuesday, May 30, 2023 About 6 weeks ago, the company that provides substitutes for our school district announced an incentive program. They had one last spring that gave us the opportunity to work lots of Mondays and Fridays and for special ed departments to earn bonuses. I got several. It was fun. This year was
Monday, May 29, 2023 Happy Memorial Day. We went to a garden center to look for perennials. We didn’t really find any, so we bought a whole bunch of annuals. Then we walked around, wondering where to plant them. It was very fun. The very first hole Keith dug he pulled out a spade full
Sunday, May 28, 2023 When Alexander moved into his house 4 years ago next week, he found out that the shower didn’t work in his bathroom. He wasn’t too concerned, because there is a shower stall in his basement (next to the toilet) (both just in the one room of the unfinished basement) that he
