restless mama: November 2007
http://restlessmama.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 27, 2007. Patch, the smelly hound dog, has a new friend of late. A stray dog I named Rascal. Rascal has been coming round for at least a year now. He appears for a couple of days, then we don't see him for weeks or months. He and Patch love to play together but he won't let humans anywhere near him. Poor fella. Last month, I began feeding him. And guess what? Guess he must be "gettin' some" somewhere else. Isn't that a typical male? Monday, November 26, 2007. For the third year running,...

restless mama: May 2008
http://restlessmama.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 23, 2008. Yeah, I've been away for a while. But I have thought about coming here, A LOT. There's a lot going on here, mostly good but let me start with this. My basset hound weighs 66 pounds. They are all hanging in there together. But that's not the point. They both were due for vaccinations which much to my husband's chagrin, I question. But after a lengthy discussion with our Doc, I decided to get a couple for the Brainiac and one for the FC. FC was adamant he wasn't going to get a shot.

restless mama: April 2008
http://restlessmama.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 29, 2008. In a recent conversation with some friends we remarked that sound bytes and catchy slogans really seem to work and grab the attention of American Voters - remember Bush 2 with 'compassionate conservative'? Anyway I was reminded of my bid for Senior Class Vice President of Pine Forest Senior High School in the early eighties. My slogans were:. Fred is Dead, so vote Tracey for VP. My Aunt Myrtle Wears a Tight Girdle so vote. There was another, but I can't remember it. Today is tras...

restless mama: October 2008
http://restlessmama.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 31, 2008. Go Obama. Thanks to my neighbor, Amy, fellow Obama supporter, for taking this photo of my pumpkin. My camera is MIA. Thursday, October 30, 2008. The Firecracker is playing soccer and flag football this fall. Football is a new sport to him but he has excelled. It helps that the most of the other kids are 6 and he's almost 9. At Monday's football practice the coach asked DH to coach tonight's game. DH couldn't but he volunteered me. Nice. Left, right or middle? After the game the ...

Wednesday, October 08, 2008. B decides to take issue with this and we encourage him to speak with the head coach. After a recent game he approached the coach and told him that he wants more playing time. And the coach agrees. Then the B says, I won't be here for the next two games. He joked with the B-. You ask for more playing time, then you say you aren't going to. We were proud of him for taking up for himself and felt like the issue was resolved. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). A mom who loves pl...

restless mama: February 2008
http://restlessmama.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 26, 2008. The Brainiac came home with a note from his teach today. They are doing a talk on puberty and we are invited to attend. Not something, I necessarily intended to discuss with him, but during dinner, he wouldn't cease his incessant banter about Weird Al, so I changed the subject to puberty. Lesser of two evils? Perhaps, this discussion should have been exclusive to the Brainiac. Hindsight is 20/20, they say. It is raining like crazy this morning. Of course, we need it. We. The B...

restless mama: September 2008
http://restlessmama.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 30, 2008. The worst is over "they" say with the gas crisis in Asheville. We have been short for over two weeks now and it got really messy last Wednesday. The lines of cars waiting for gas were ridiculous - 3 and 4 hours long. But I came crawling back on Friday. Sam had an orderly line inside his parking lot with three attendants directing traffic. I waited 5 minutes. No nausea. No anxiety. Just a twinge of guilt. Monday, September 29, 2008. Hurry Up and Wait. When I was in high school...

restless mama: January 2008
http://restlessmama.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 25, 2008. I've spent the last week easing my re-entry into the U.S after a 10 day trip to Cuba, something my other travel companions most likely didn't have the luxury of doing. They had to get back to their jobs and the work left on their desks. I don't have any clients that needed me at their homes, though I am doing some work from home for a few. They went to a college hoops game, to the park, to see the Chipmunk's movie- thank God i missed that! I should go away more often! A mom who ...

restless mama: June 2008
http://restlessmama.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 21, 2008. Mom, do you know anyone who has ever smoked Pot? I guess he figures I know lots of no-so-smart people). Why did you smoke it? Because she felt peer pressure, his 8 year old friend answered. That was a good enough answer for me. I went on to warn of all the brain cells that are lost when you smoke pot. I have no idea if this is true, but I believed it when I was a teenager. I guess I figured my brain cells needed a little room to move about. Friday, June 20, 2008. I'm more than a ...
