On April 10, 1982, I grew up. Or maybe it happened in the very early morning hours of April 11th. But on that night, I crossed the threshold into adulthood, even glimpsed what it might yet be like a few years down the path when parent and child roles morph and merge and somehow I [...]
Feeling A Little Cocky On The Blogging Front
Posted by: LSM on: March 30, 2008
I just had my best week ever as far as blog traffic here in Suburbia. I’m also due for a record month as of close of blogging day tomorrow. If someone from South America would just link on over, I’d also currently have readers from all seven continents within the last 100 visitors here.
Am I a [...]
Adventure Guy and LSM’s Day Off
Posted by: LSM on: March 29, 2008
I almost feel guilty about what a nice day it’s been. And I have crappy weather to thank for it!
Adventure Guy and I went out to dinner last night with his mom and step-dad. Adventure Guy’s step-brother and his wife joined us as well. We had a fun evening and got in at a reasonable [...]
What To Take
Posted by: LSM on: March 28, 2008
My great-aunt Ethel gave me a lot of things, the most important of which was the knowledge that, to her, I was the most special little girl in the whole world. In those long-ago educational psychology classes I took in college, we talked a lot about how whether or not children have a sense of [...]
No Crystal Ball

It looks like soon we’re going to need some name changes around Suburbia. And I’m struggling with the reasons: Dancer Girl decided earlier this month not to try out for the pom squad and will not be continuing with dance, and now Gym Girl insists that this season will be her last as a gymnast.
Dancer [...]
On The Shallow Side

Adventure Guy likes films. Note I said films and not movies. A few years ago I bought him a Netflix subscription since we don’t always get all the films he’d like to see in our local theater. He graciously allows me one choice out of the three movies he’s allowed out at any one time.
So [...]
At Least We Won’t Go Hungry
Posted by: LSM on: March 25, 2008
I know a woman whose grocery list is an Access database organized by aisle and expected price. Mine? Not so much.
I did, however, have a grocery list waiting for me today, residing on the front passenger seat of my car just like it did yesterday when I ran out of time to actually go to the [...]

Excellent! Lotus has provided some fodder for blogging on a day when I needed inspiration. It’s hard to get back into working after such a nice vacation. Fortunately, today is a professional development day for teachers, and it’s a bit quieter than usual around the district.
But, back to the topic…birth stories. While I haven’t been busy [...]

Happy Easter!
Posted by: LSM on: March 22, 2008
For those who celebrate Easter tomorrow, I hope you have a wonderful day. Here in Suburbia, I’m still doing laundry!
But, I am closer to being prepared for the holiday than I was earlier in the day. Behold the Easter sugar cookies.
We have lots more, but the icing is still drying so I can’t [...]
