I am on active Glamma duty tonight while Sarah and Dusty have an evening out together. It amuses me that they still ask me if I can watch Lennon on the days or nights they want to go out as a couple. I wonder how it has escaped them that it takes all I have [...]

Moves like Jagger?
I have had Maroon 5's song, Moves Like Jagger in my head for the past few days. Unfortunately, it has been more like a Weird Al Jankovic version given my labyrinthitis. In my current version the main chorus line replaces "I've got the moves like Jagger" to "I've got the moves like Grandma" - pitiful, I know. [...]

Penciled-in…
On Friday, the birth of my grandson, Lennon Daniel, was "penciled-in" for June 15, 2012. I say "penciled-in" because Lennon Daniel did not do the penciling and he seems to be the one who has been pushing the envelope all along to get out of his womb early. Shocking. A member of my clan that wants [...]
