Posted on July 4, 2008 by Tentative Equinox North

Wow! That IS more efficient!

Posted on July 3, 2008 by Tentative Equinox North

Warning: content that only a mother could love. If you’re squeamish, STOP READING. I said STOP! All right. But don’t say I didn’t warn you. Griffin, the 4-year-old, woke up in the middle of the night (the reasons for that … Continue reading →

Wouldn’t you like to be a muppet too?

Posted on June 29, 2008 by Tentative Equinox North

If I were a muppet, I would be Beaker. I’m not saying that would be my choice, I’m just saying if I were to fall through an Enchanted-esque magical hole and re-surface on the other side in some kind of … Continue reading →

Should I feel guilty if they’re not?

Posted on June 25, 2008 by Tentative Equinox North

Seen on sign: ARE YOUR SUMMER TOYS INSUPED? I don’t know what that is, but I think I should get on that. Maybe I need to insupe our wading pool and the slip and slide. I’m not sure why, but it … Continue reading →

Fred the Great

Posted on June 24, 2008 by Tentative Equinox North

Diagnosed vs Undiagnosed

Posted on June 19, 2008 by Tentative Equinox North

I chanced upon an old friend a couple of weeks ago. I mean we know each other from a ways back, not that either he (or I) are old. He, (too bad for him come to think about it), asked how my … Continue reading →

High in Fibre

Posted on June 18, 2008 by Tentative Equinox North

Another good one from my Griffin-man. Two good stories in less than 24 hours–this kid is a gold-mine! I must back up a little to give some context. Yesterday, we worked on some colouring pages. He was so pleased with … Continue reading →

Easy Riders

Posted on June 18, 2008 by Tentative Equinox North

I walked with Griffin to the park yesterday while he proudly rode his red tricycle. He’s getting quite good at getting around on his wheels. He probably triked over a mile on this little expedition. “I know, I so strong.” … Continue reading →

Be My Own Stage Manager

Posted on June 16, 2008 by Tentative Equinox North

Writing the post “Overheard in My Brain,” while also being great fun to write, gave me an epiphany: I need to be my own stage manager. The stage manager has a cue-book, with the script, the blocking and all the … Continue reading →
