  • A Hundred Times Soda Fairy

    My son has been asking for the soda fairy more and more often. It has started to become excessive so we said no tonight. He’s had three cans of soda and another soda from Culver’s. It’s getting late and he doesn’t need another. He does not take No well and he is not taking it…

  • Clouds

    Ben and I walked to the convenience store again today. The sky looked really weird so I took a couple of pictures. The first is going to the store, and the second is coming back from the store ten minutes later with the camera turned 180 degrees. Sometimes natural art is better than anything I…

  • Three Hours of Sleep

    Since last night’s blog post I’ve gotten three hours of sleep. The child was up all night with me and me with him. His brother went to sleep at 2 am. He fell asleep on the couch at 9 am. I was able to nap a little after that but everyone needed to be awake…

  • Medication and self medication

    I just finished an infused soda. I have started my two hour fast. Then I can take my night meds and see what the drug interaction is. In the Revised Edition Dungeon Master Handbook there was a table. The table was run on a d100. Each percentile had a reaction between two potions. At 01…

  • Cleaning for my Sons

    I just clipped the toenails on my youngest son. But that was the grossest thing I did today. I spent five hours cleaning the computer of another son. The youngest does know how to clip his own nails. His older brother doesn’t know how to clean his browser history. Gross!

  • Quiet Sunday

    I’ve been fairly productive today. I’ve helped keep track of boys and the cats. I’ve helped with laundry. I’ve done my scripture study and hymns. We sold an old phone to be recycled for a whole dollar. I even had time for a shower between video games and social media. Nothing too awesome or weird…

  • Missionary Visit

    A pair of full time missionaries from my ward showed up unexpectedly this afternoon. We talked for about an hour. They’re good “kids.” Twenty somethings. Straight out of Utah. We talk about life, The Church, the church apps, my lack of orthodoxy, and Stephanie’s Druidry. I also tried to explain the “empty holy” to them.…

  • Replacing the Yellow

    I made art today. I chose 8.5×11 for the canvas. Drew a Soda Volcano. And printed it. The yellow cartridge had to be replaced when this was done.

  • Diaper, Bath, and Soda Fairy, Please

    That is a phrase I did not expect to hear three times a week even a little while ago. Words have power and those were Ben’s words fifteen minutes ago. His dirty diaper is in the trash, his soda is in the fridge, and he is squealing happily in the tub.

  • Waking Up

    When my alarm went off everyone was asleep so I turned it off and went back to sleep myself. An hour later Ben needed a diaper, but I lay back down after that too. The next time I looked at my phone it was two hours later and I was very late getting Alex ready…
