House of Crazy: Scenes From My Marriage
http://houseofcrazy.blogspot.com/2009/01/scenes-from-my-marriage.html
Friday, January 09, 2009. Scenes From My Marriage. Jack and I wanted to watch a DVD last night, but the remote control had disappeared. We are the proud owners of the world's shittiest DVD player, which cannot be worked manually at all. (Unfortunately, we bought it new for 20 bucks after rebate, which was such an awesome deal that neither of us can bring ourselves to replace it.). Maybe you took it upstairs," grumped Jack, who gets a little nuts when he can't find something. It's still in the house.".

House of Crazy: Amazing Grace
http://houseofcrazy.blogspot.com/2009/05/amazing-grace.html
Sunday, May 10, 2009. I don’t believe in god or any higher power. Never have. My parents were both atheists, so I take my nonbelief for granted, like my blue eyes. So it might surprise you to learn that this is one of my very favorite songs:. Amazing grace, how sweet the sound. That saved a wretch like me. I once was lost, but now I’m found,. Was blind but now I see. And all of this times two. Amazing grace, indeed. It's a pretty song, for sure. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Who You Callin' Crazy?

House of Crazy: March 2009
http://houseofcrazy.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 05, 2009. The other day, The Peanut and I were having a serious conversation about her dimples. “What are they for? 8221; she wondered. “Why doesn’t anyone else in our family have them? 8220;Your Aunt Jessie had dimples,” I told her. The word flew out of my mouth like a startled bird. The Peanut didn’t miss a beat, and was already chattering about another exciting topic: how JJ has a penis and she doesn’t. But more than anything, I wanted to take that word back. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

House of Crazy: December 2007
http://houseofcrazy.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 22, 2007. The Peanut has issues with Santa. And by "issues," I mean she finds him absolutely terrifying. It started when I took her to a Christmas craft show a few weeks ago. There was a room set up for making your own gingerbread houses, which I thought she'd really enjoy. But while we were waiting in line, Santa walked by, ringing some jingle bells and belting out "Ho Ho Ho! But Peanut," JJ protests, "Santa's going to bring us presents! He can leave them outside.". Although I'm a wri...

House of Crazy: March 2008
http://houseofcrazy.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 11, 2008. In a past life, I studied hibernation in ground squirrels. I still find the process incredible: the squirrel literally drops its body temperature to ambient. Curled up in its burrow, it feels like a dead thing: cold, lifeless. Its heartbeat and breathing have slowed until they're nearly undetectable. Then Spring arrives, the squirrel warms up, and life begins again. Now you can start catching up on everything you've missed. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Who You Callin' Crazy?

House of Crazy: Out of My Head
http://houseofcrazy.blogspot.com/2009/05/out-of-my-head.html
Sunday, May 17, 2009. Out of My Head. I have been spending too much time inside my head of late. Jack is out of town right now, which means I need to work extra hard to stay engaged and present in my life. JJ and The Peanut joined me in bed early this morning and we spent a leisurely hour reading, cuddling, and sipping coffee (or hot chocolate). The day dawned clear and unusually warm, so we ate a quick breakfast and headed for the beach. It's a very good day to be out of my head. We found a couple of pi...

House of Crazy: My Own Brand of Crazy
http://houseofcrazy.blogspot.com/2009/01/my-own-brand-of-crazy.html
Wednesday, January 28, 2009. My Own Brand of Crazy. The simple activities of everyday life seem pointless and exhausting. But when I'm in motion, I cannot rest. Sleep eludes me. I perform tasks at a frenzied pace. I revel in ticking off the most boring items on my to-do list. Shower? Check Scrub the shower tiles with a tootbrush? Check Make gigantic pot of vegetable soup? Check I plow through my day at an inexorable pace, unable to pause to catch my breath. I just hope it's enough for them. Jack = my hus...

House of Crazy: September 2008
http://houseofcrazy.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 04, 2008. From The Peanut Gallery: First day of preschool. On the car ride home, right before falling asleep: "I love preschool so much, I couldn't believe my ears.". Wednesday, September 03, 2008. JJ started first grade last week, and the tears that have been shed since then could fill an ocean. I thought this transition would be easy. After all, he went through kindergarten at the same school, he knows every single kid in his class, and the drill isn't that much different. He burst ...

House of Crazy: February 2008
http://houseofcrazy.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 25, 2008. We went for a walk this afternoon and passed a yard that was full of plastic spoons. A shitload of spoons, maybe 200 of them, handles stuck into the earth. I don't know if it's some new-fangled (or old-fashioned) aeration technique of which I've never heard, or if it's the work of a crazy person (I'm leaning toward the latter), but JJ and The Peanut thought it was the most amazing thing ever.
