Stealing French Fries: August 2010

http://stealingfrenchfries.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html

Thursday, August 26, 2010. You know, there's a lot of sense in the order of most things. For example, I find it pretty obviously logical that "God makes you so sick you don't care how big you get and then so big you don't care how much it hurts to get it out." Pregnancy, right? And we all know that if we were handed teenagers when we were new parents that the human species would die out. But there are a few things about the order of our society that just leave me scratching my head. Links to this post.

Stealing French Fries: Too True

http://stealingfrenchfries.blogspot.com/2011/02/too-true.html

Tuesday, February 1, 2011. We were driving home in the trusty van this afternoon. The children had bored of my flashcard drills. so bored that they were finally telling me about their days at school. Quirky has been somewhat interested in this one little girl at school, Ella. He told me at the beginning of the year that he likes "how she has freckles on her face.". Today apparently they had VERY important discussion. It was reported to me like this:. Me: "I have a directory.". February 1, 2011 at 7:18 PM.

Stealing French Fries: ToMAYto/ToMAHto- whatever

http://stealingfrenchfries.blogspot.com/2011/01/tomaytotomahto-whatever.html

Friday, January 28, 2011. It's where I live. And I'm changing it. I've been saying that it is my house. It's now my home. Silly semantics. But they are so very very important, I've decided. I've found myself in a slow and steady slide- and I'm stopping it now. Most ridiculously, I have begun to view all of the things I GET to do as things that I HAVE to do. Crazy! I GET to help build and maintain my family's home. I GET to make my children's lunches. I GET to remove the trash and unwanted from our home.

Stealing French Fries: Don't Go Cheap

http://stealingfrenchfries.blogspot.com/2011/02/dont-go-cheap.html

Wednesday, February 9, 2011. My mom and dad never bought nice razors. So when I went off to college I had this underlying opinion that my roomates were being self-indulgent when they bought nice razors. Of course their legs were smooth and glorious. Mine looked like they had been through a war. Eventually I got over my tin foil collecting habits (did your grandmothers collect used tinfoil into a little ball? I don't know why last week I bought cheap razors at Target. Bad move. Time to go back to the store.

Stealing French Fries: June 2010

http://stealingfrenchfries.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html

Wednesday, June 30, 2010. Today I need to face some anxieties about "business in the home." Tricky stuff, this hiring someone to help you out with the stuff that you should be able to do on your own. And the shame that brings on makes things harder. I'm suck terribly at housekeeping and all things domestic. And I'm trying to come to terms with that tremendous failing but am sucking at that, as well. Over time I certainly don't need that much help. It's been a tremendous luxury, though!

Stealing French Fries: June 2011

http://stealingfrenchfries.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html

Wednesday, June 1, 2011. Spotted a bumper sticker yesterday on the back of some SUV that read, "Got Kings of Leon? Wow I enjoy Kings of Leon just as much as everyone else. but putting a bumper sticker on the back of my car and announcing it to everyone just seems so permanent. That special bumper sticker needed a home. My dad bravely affixed it to the back of the extended roof part of the van. And it started a collection. Nah that's the Boss Man. But I feel like it's too OBVIOUS. Is there anything that's...

Stealing French Fries: November 2010

http://stealingfrenchfries.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html

Friday, November 19, 2010. The Boss Man told me I'd hit the trifecta. The other night. (Does one say "hit the perfect trifecta? Or is that redundant? He came in from out of town all bedraggled and worn out. Poor guy had driven to Louisiana the night prior and got stuck in traffic until 3:30 am and then went to meetings all day and drove back to TX the next night. Pulled in to our house around 11. Ouch. Apparently I had also:. 1 Left the car unlocked. 2 Left the front door unlocked. Links to this post.
