  A lesson in humility…
  Family News (5)

  What have I learned this week one might ask? Well no one is humbler than me at the moment and I have not one, but all three of my children to thank for this character building experience. This has the potential to be a long post, but if there are other mother's out there willing to share, girlfriends... I'm ALL EARS! Let's start in the order in which the events occurred shall we? Friday is a snow day, and the buses are canceled. I thanked the heavens for allowing me a morning in which I need not hit the ...

  The Exhaustion Epidemic
  Culture, Family News (0)

  Go and read this article right now.  Go and don't come back until you're done.  I'll wait. It's a very good bit on something that I know Nikki and I have been noticing for a while now; we are always tired.  When we aren't sleeping, we are getting worse at taking the time to relax.  We end up going hard, harder to get "there" and then completely shutdown for a spell.  It's not very healthy for sure.  We are in a period of going crazy now, getting the house ready for Christmas and shopping, etc.  Nikki has some jewelry shows too, ...

  Please give me back my lunch hour

  I will never have the time I spent on this Flash game back, so whatever you do, don't click on this link. It's a fiendishly difficult game where you try to spot the differences before the time runs out.  Some pictures stumped me for a good long while....  Wilson, this game is right up your alley since it's all about the subtle differences in a series of photographs.  I expect big things (I made it to level 27 before fiscal responsibility kicked in).  I'm not sure if there is an end or what happens since I have physically torn my eyes ...

  The halls are decked and the boughs are hollied…
  Family News (1)

  Court and I decided that last night would be the night to carry out the family tradition of popcorn, chocolates and decorating the tree. What fun! The kids all had a great time and for some odd reason our tree appears a little leaner this year. The whole thing didn't go down without incident I'm afraid. I said to Court, "We have too many ornaments for our tree". Little did I know that it soon wouldn't be an issue. You see, if you let Cael help decorate the tree, you are usually down a few ornaments ...

  I, for one, welcome our new dolphin overlords
  Apocalypse Soon, News, Stupidity (0)

  When I saw this news article about researchers finding a dolphin with "legs" I immediately remembered reading an article in the Onion that rings so incredibly true it's amazing.  The Onion's take is hilarious and worth a read, it had me crying the first time I read it: "I believe I speak for the entire human race when I say, 'Holy f@$*,'" said Oceanographic Institute director Dr. James Aoki, noting that the dolphin has a cranial capacity 40 percent greater than that of humans. "That's it for us monkeys." Indeed.  It's funny as hell, but it's also very cool that they have ...

  Senseless Violence? We’ve got it.
  News, Stupidity (0)

  If you need another couple of reasons to be glad to live in Canada (although it's not quite the Canada it used to be, it's still Canada for now) I would be happy to oblige with a few links this afternoon. First off, a story from Texas about someone who takes bathroom cleanliness very very seriously. It seems that someone noticed a non-washer (you know the kind I'm talking about, and you know who you are) and waited for them outside in the parking lot in order to stab them multiple times. I can sympathize a little bit with ...
