“Through humor, you can soften some of the worst blows that life deliv­ers. And once you find laugh­ter, no mat­ter how painful your sit­u­a­tion might be, you can sur­vive it.”

My Brain on Kids

by beth on November 8, 2011

Some­times I start to write a sta­tus update or response on Face­book then I delete it because I real­ize I started it 10 min­utes ago before my kids inter­rupted me with some story about “who did what when and with whom” akin to the game Clue. “It was D-man in the base­ment with a Lego!!” And by the time they stop with their tall tale I no longer remem­ber what my point was and so I delete, delete, delete. 

Oddly enough the same thing can hap­pen in a gro­cery store and then I’m that woman who walks around know­ing there was that one item I didn’t put on my list because I was sure to remem­ber it only to have no idea what I’m sup­posed to get or even why I am wan­der­ing around. Then there is the ever elu­sive mys­tery of where I put my keys! It is a won­der I ever fin­ished grad­u­ate school let alone func­tion any more.

Blackberry Jam

I bought this Trap­pist Black­berry Jam from one of the local mar­kets here.  I am in heaven over it right now. I orig­i­nally bought some for Michael­mas to eat and tell the story of the Devil & the Black­berry bush. And after falling in love with the jam, I had to have a lit­tle more. It is per­fect with my cof­fee served up on a toasty piece of Mike’s home­made bread.  It would also make a lovely gift for any­time of the year and per­fect for Christ­mas. Also, can you believe it? The end of  the year will be here before we know it!
