I found the first pussy willow!

Dear John,

Thank you for the lovely gift, it was a nice surprise to see after a long day of grocery shopping, baking, cooking your dinner; not to mention the long month of dealing with a cranky night working husband and PMS'ing "pre"-teens. I can take a hint, I understand that I have been a bit grumpy, but I am sure mad is much to strong of a word. Sure maybe hostile, quarrelsome, resisting; or maybe antisocial, cold, cool, disagreeable, disapproving, distant, frigid, or icy; but mad? Maybe you meant crazy mad, but really you and me switch spots and we will see who is the grounded one.

I apologize for making you feel disregarded, forgotten, ignored, or overlooked; but promise that as soon as your socks and underwear are folded, the cat box is clean and the the summer toys are washed I will be feeling a bit more like my self; maybe a bit more caring, compassionate, considerate, cordial, doting, forgiving, friendly, kind, warmhearted; and if you are really lucky ardent, fervent, passionate, warm; amatory, amorous, erotic; enamored, infatuated, lovesick; mushy, romantic, and sentimental.

Your loving housewife?
Heidi

PS- please, I am not quite sure I am feeling it. Please send another bottle (or two) and the rest of dirty laundry...and don't forget to feed the cat.

***I was going to tile this post "Parenting in the 90's" but it is not the 90's anymore (took me 8 years to figure it out), I must have blinked. I didn't know what to replace 90's with ....what is it? the millennium? in the 10's? I am so confused now....

Pretty Amazing

We, JD and I, have been wanting to get our girls interested in trying this, hence this project, but the task seemed too great and we were lacking the play dough that particular lazy Sunday. An old Homer buddy of ours had the time and motivation and play dough to do the project with his girls and they created a pretty amazing piece of work! Maybe someday, we will try.....

Now I wasn't there or anything but doesn't THIS seem a bit excessive?
