Pink sky in the morning, a sailors warning. Pink sky at night, a sailors delight.

No tornadoes here yesterday!  Since we are at a high elevation the storm kind of skirted around all sides of us.  The sky was pretty crazy...bright sun on one side and black clouds on the other for most of the afternoon.  After the last storm passed around 8 pm the sun came out like it was the middle of the afternoon.  About a half hour later it was just breathtaking.  The pictures can not do it justice.  It was like the sky was saying, Phew!  Thank God that is over. Then stretched out it's prettiest clouds.


The storms took all that horrible humidity and put it where it belongs...the beach.  Inland Massachusetts and New Hampshire are having perfectly beautiful DRY weather.  After yesterday being so muggy and hot this is a welcome change.  The only problem is that with the storms leaving so did my husband, flying out to Wisconsin VERY early this morning.  I hate being alone at night and know for a fact that I will wake up a billion times tonight.  Funny how when your husband is actually IN the bed you bitch about him snoring, stealing the covers, groping at you all night hogging your side, but when he is not there...you can't sleep.  Maybe the other man in the house will do me the honor and sleep with his momma tonight.  Yes I am pretty sure he will oblige.

One last side note.  My little Noah attends a preschool program that is what they call "integrated."  That means that there are children in his class that are all over the development spectrum.  Many of the kids in his class are on the Autism spectrum and some are physically delayed.  I was told yesterday that Noah is a terrific friend and a great advocate for one little girl in his class who is in a wheelchair.  Making sure that she has anything that she needs.  When I asked about her wheelchair the other day Noah said to me very matter of fact, "Well Mom that is the way she was made. That's all."  He is such a compassionate little man, makes my Momma heart proud.  Love him so much.

Shit talking up all night

We are having a very slow moving day today.  Partly due to the fact, well totally due to the fact, that a entire bottle of Cupcake Red Velvet wine followed by a glass of my favorite boxed Merlot causes me to agonize over every single task this blah morning.  Therefore the children are not dressed, neither am I and you know what?  I don't care.  Truth be told the kids seem just fine and dandy with the whole wear your pajamas to lunch trend I have started.  I will walk the dog in my pajamas and wave to my neighbors looking like a total bag lady and who cares.  I was spared the headache but must have exhausted all my energy last night pouring endless glasses of mommy's little helper for me and my bestie.  Totally cool with that.  The best part...undressed babies means cute little butt cracks all over this house.  Adorable.  Don't believe me?!  Have a look.  Love it.  Noah is rocking his sweet mismatched PJ's because the kid simply refuses to wear anything that remote

Burning down the house (well the yard)

The only color in the whole yard.  Well except for white, bark, and evergreen.  Welcome to New Hampshire in the spring!! Today we got to tackle some of the tremendous overgrowth on one side of our house.  There are some wicked (Boston thing...I know) vines that are strangling the life out of all the trees.  They look just like snakes (which makes my heart race just thinking about it) that wrap up huge trees and then reach out and attach to the next closest thing.  Well we tore those bastards up today, Dov actually, but I was a good cheerleader the whole time! We started out by the rules...ya know just burning stuff 4 inches or smaller but before the day was over I wouldn't have been surprised if Dov decided to tear down the porch and throw it in there as well.  Funny thing that fire is, just kind of sucks you in and before you know it your acting like a little pyro, yeah hey lets burn all the crap in the yard-throw it in there you pussy!  DO IT! As I looked at these pictures I r

I guess I am welcoming a shit storm

Every time I go to Market Basket, or as I like to call it HELL ON EARTH, I pick up the New Hampshire Parenting magazine.  I pick it up because one I am to cheap to subscribe to a real parenting magazine that is more then 5 pages long and two because maybe there will be a idea for something to do with the rug rats locally.  In this particular edition the editors note was quite interesting...enough so that I was able to read it out loud to my husband and he didn't just nod and pretend to care while staring at the Ipod screen. It was about how the largest teachers union in New Hampshire recently banned field trips to the State House due to the fact that you are allowed to carry a gun while in the State House.  Now hold your fire all my anti-gun parents out there, but this is just ludicrous.  For years the State House has hosted a read-a-thon and many politicians and local celebs have come out to read to groups of kids that are there on school sponsored field trips.  This will no long
