A Little Chaos Theory

We’ve had several cross-country moves and it never serves to amaze me how many errands are involved in leaving a general location.  Some things can be done over the phone, but returning cable boxes, shutting off certain utilities, and picking up school records must be done in person.  I find it all fairly tedious and [...]

I’ve always wondered how there could be people who have money that they know nothing about.  You’ve probably heard about them - people who had bank accounts that they “forgot” about or who were owed money that they never collected.  I think I have a little better understanding about the latter type of situation now.
While [...]

Toby the panther is missing.  He vanished a few weeks ago and we kept thinking that he’d turn up in some unexpected corner while we packed for the move.
So far that hasn’t happened and Jude is starting to really stress about whether or not Toby is going to make the transition to Wyoming.  They [...]

We had a refill kit for our color printer cartridge sitting in a box I hadn’t sealed yet.  Yesterday while I was at the bank Jude decided that he should pour it over Roegen’s head “because it would be fun.”  After multiple scrubbings, this is still the result (and the color [...]

Tonight, when the boys were in bed after kisses, hugs, high fives, low fives, drinks of water and visits to the potty had all taken place I sat down to sort socks.  You see, we have more socks than I know what to do with.  Seriously.  Every missing sock from the past five years has [...]

I know I haven’t had a lot of scintillating things to say recently, with the exception of the news about Scott being offered a job and FINALLY knowing where we’re moving.  And did I mention that we’ve already found a house, too?  That has TWO bathrooms?  So that potty training tyrants might possibly be a [...]

It’s amazing how perspectives can change on a dime. 
A couple months ago Scott had an interview scheduled that didn’t happen thanks to Comcast.  The position was offered to someone else and we were left wondering what might have been.  At the time we knew that there were stronger forces in play than ourselves but [...]

<I initially posted this blog last night. Unfortunately, there were some server issues and it got “eaten” by the internet. So, if you were one of the few and the brave who saw this post the first time, I apologize. If not, welcome to my life!>
What am I going to do? [...]

Roegen has reached the point where he knows when he has gone potty and doesn’t like the feeling of a dirty diaper. Because of this, I entered my bedroom to see Roegen out of bed holding sizeable turds in each hand. 
I rushed him to the bathroom, where we flushed his treasure and scrubbed his hands with [...]

As I’m sure you’ve noticed I have been playing with the themes recently.
I loved my butterfly theme but unfortunately it wasn’t working with some of the widgets I want.  The autism awareness button and blognet news box were landing all over the place rather than neatly in the column they belonged in.
Then, I experimented with [...]
