Groceries, Gas, & Banana Bread

By Suburban Wife | Published: December 12, 2009
Today was a full day.  With three round trips into town. The first trip took me in to see The Daugh­ter per­form in a short play in a res­i­dence home.  But seat­ing was tight and we par­ents were assured we’d be able to see a more pol­ished per­for­mance at the school next week so while the kids [...]

Double Dipping

By Suburban Wife | Published: December 12, 2009
As you know, I home­schooled our two chil­dren for 12+ years.  Now they both attend a pri­vate high school that’s a good com­mute away from home.  The one part of this arrange­ment that I hate despise dread:  lunches.  I strongly dis­like mak­ing lunches 5 nights a week.  If that makes me a bad mom, so [...]

Lately he has started draw­ing my atten­tion to TV com­mer­cials for iPhone appli­ca­tions that he thinks are very, very cool.  So cool that Mr. Even-Tempered’s eyes get all big and shiny and he exclaims, [...]
