Like in a newspaper’s picture caption. Many locals make fun of our county’s newspaper; pointing out miscellaneous typos, erroneous information and errors, but today’s typo in the following picture caption is kind of a big oopsie: The line for the H1N1 virus snakes through the parking lot at the County Fairgrounds Wednesday afternoon. Obviously our […]

Just a little update to let you know my mouth is finally feeling better and yesterday I was able to indulge in food and got to actually enjoy the feeling of being full for the first time in an entire week. No thanks to our local doctors, though, my husband made me some sort of

I know I promised to stop whining about my sore mouth, but it’s amazing how little focus I have for other things when I’m not eating – all I can think about is pain and food, but sometimes I think about food and pain. The good news is that today when I woke up, the
The flu season is upon us, and it’s obvious. In our family, we are teetering between two outbreaks of illness. Last week, it was hand, foot, and mouth disease (not to be confused with its fear-provoking counterpart, foot and mouth disease, which is only found in animals).

Darn it, I am sick of this! Some time last week, I came down with a nasty canker sore. I don’t remember what day it was, but I remember that by Friday, I was already sick of it. We took the kids to the county fair and the demolition derby on Friday, which was great
I knew it was going to be a busy day today before I even woke up, and I was dreading having to get up early. I am very lucky (thanks to my wonderful husband) that I don’t have to get up early every day; I’m not a morning person. But today there was an early

I’m not going to pretend to know the latest texting lingo. I know ASAP and TTYL and even oic, but that’s about the extent of my in-house texting-acronym dictionary. Not that I care too much – it doesn’t even make me feel old or out of it because texting itself is amusing to me; not
