We are on our way to the hospital
It’s today that Herb gets his tibia broken.
————-
Update. Got back home at 10PM. He’s okay. Long story later. I’m still shaken and hyper. What I would do without my mother, I do not know (she cared for the Kid all evening, listened to my many phone calls and complaints when I returned, and even freakin’ […]

Forget Vinnie the Chin

Comment mélanger une belle-mère
Ce matin je me suis levée, groggy comme à l’habitude. La porte du Petit Coco était fermée. Oh-oh. Dis-moi pas qu’il est encore couché! Aie! Il doit être à l’école dans quinze minutes! D’habitude quand je me lève il est en train de mettre ses bottes! Oh non! Tout mais pas ça! Je cogne à […]

Sneezing Extravaganza
Katcher was sleeping on our bed. Tao jumped up and decided his big brother would play. Next thing I know, Katcher is growl-meowing like only a big tough-looking wuss can. I didn’t intervene — he often *screams* when he plays with Moocah and it doesn’t mean he’s not enjoying it (it only means he enjoys […]

Welcome to my World
Two nights ago. A susual, I wake up in the middle of the night because I’m freezing. Why? Because Herb pulls all the blankets off me (and proceeds to roll so he has most of them *under* him), and by the time I pull back, there are two or three cats on top and my […]

Face it, you like talking about yourself
So go help out Darren Barefoot and fill out his survey on “Why do you blog?” He will be giving a talk on the topic at Northern Voice in Vancouver (February 23 and 24th). What’s fascinating is that I can think of many, many reasons, and that apparently everyone has very different ones. If you […]

Cornicochon
Un jeu très populaire chez nous se nomme « Mess With The Anglo ». Non seulement c’est drôle, mais il est difficile d’y résister. Surtout que j’invente des mots. Confuser, par exemple (je me suis inquiétée d’entendre Petit Coco l’utiliser, mais il avait compris que ce n’étai pas un vrai mot et m’a regardée comme si j’étais […]

Longue histoire, fin triste
Le tout commence il y a plusieurs années. Une fin de semaine de tourmente, pendant laquelle je loue un appartement pour moi seule. Je voudrais bien déménager quelques trucs, alors une amie et moi prenons le métro, question d’aller chez ma mère emprunter sa voiture. Ma mère est partie pour quelques jours. Métro, autobus. Arrivées […]

Surgically yours
Last spring, when Herb completely severed his Achilles’ tendon, I was blogging elsewhere and wrote down the entire ordeal there. Sorry, I’m not up to rehashing that particular bit of past. Lucky you, however, you will get the follow-up story. The background is this: on April 20th, Herb started running and his left Achilles tendon […]

A-hem
Addendum au billet pérécédent.

Chiâlage et repentir
Je suis chiâleuse, je le sais, c’est vrai, je l’admets, voilà, c’est dit. Par contre… l’avez-vous remarqué? Il est un sujet sur lequel jamais je ne vous livre de plaintes et de désespoirs. Un sujet qui fait grincer des dents et gémir de détresse, oh, disons une bonne partie de la population. Vous devinez? (Si […]

Godfather Reflections
So my 2007 resolution for us is to watch two movies per week. So far so good on the number issue, but we’ll have to make an effort, because so far we’ve pretty much only watched movies we had already seen. And unfortunately, we watched “An Inconvenient Truth” in 2006 (pretty much as soon as […]

My Very Own Monkey
I’ve long been calling helpers “monkeys”. When Herb came to help me at work (way back when) during the weekend to do some mega-filing, he was my monkey. When I was told I could hire a receptionist and helper, I was thrilled: I could get my own monkey! It happened to Herb too, once. Of […]
