Today is Jasper Adoption Day. One year ago, we brought home our little 10-pound puppy. Now he's a whopping 70+ (frankly not sure of the exact amount because I hurt my back trying to weigh him the last time). I love having a dog. And I wouldn't exchange Jasper for any other one, even though [...]
Well, we've survived Thanksgiving weekend (so far). I'm not calling it a complete success until we get everybody out of bed and off to school Monday morning after nine late nights and Wii-filled days. Here are a few highlights from the last few days... •I finally put a crowbar in it and got Elfie some new [...]
So yesterday, after we got back from the right-winger pumpkin patch (which I'll write about tomorrow because I just don't have the stomach for it tonight), we had lots of plans. Lots and lots of big plans. Put up the Halloween decorations. Carve pumpkins. Blog. Get ready for our neighbor's party. Instead, Tenzin and I [...]
Today was, well, interesting... Every year since the kids were about 3, we've gone to the Reno Balloon Races. We drag everybody out of bed before the sun comes up, drive down to a big park with a bunch of freakishly perky people, walk around in the dark, and freeze while we watch close to [...]

Thanks to an old friend my Obama campaign days, today we brought home an 8-week-old Labrador Retriever/Finnish Lapphund.How can you be upset at that face?He [...]
Although it's true that 99.99 percent of the world doesn't give a damn what I'm doing, it's possible that the cherished few of you who actually keep up with me here or on Facebook are wondering what the hell happened to me. Did I die? Did I just throw in the towel? Did my computer [...]
The "Scream" TreeSo for about the last 14 hours or so, all I've heard is crap. And I'm just so done. So, so done.There comes a point where you start to wonder if there are any decent, reasonable people left in the world. If anyone's thinking about their actions and how they'll affect other people.

GG of The Glad Gardener is back at World's Worst Moms with tales from the teenage trenches. This latest one about her 15-year-old daughter will make you long for the days when cell phones were those giant, shoe-boxy things that businessmen used while riding in limos. There are some times when my stupidity amazes even [...]
