There is her blog, some dip recipes with her introductory comments, a piece on blogging and another piece on snacking called "Natural Selection." Fish around. It's worth it.

When I bring it home, I write on the top lid where I found it (e.g., Publix, Ansley Mall). If you can't find it, ask your grocery store manager to order it for you. Will try the popcorn recipe perhaps tomorrow afternoon.

"You can go grocery shopping, but you HAVE to be back in an hour!" I figured I could nurse for an hour straight till he got back. And, it's true, it's still no fun being left alone. Especially now we have three. I can't help feeling that anything my husband does without the kids is a bit self-indulgent. Working in the yard--What are you REALLY doing? Taking out the trash--How long can it possible take! I say this through clenched teeth, sometimes banging on the window, and with the full knowledge that I'm being crazy.

My own husband is leaving us this weekend for his first ever Half Marathon and I can only imagine the buzz he will have when he gets back to run a Full Marathon and how much I will both hate and admire him for doing it. And the lonlieness you feel when they leave, but we unfortunately never have the peace of the big bed that you do, as my 8& 5 year old will not just relax with me ever, though I try. *sigh* Oh, that I wish that he'd gotten that job at Wondertime so we could hang out while the hubby's run... we could eat Cheetos and chat and the kids could play........Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13539865067588585735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31773345.post-25992491329466844642008-04-22T16:18:00.000-04:002008-04-22T16:18:00.000-04:00I wanted to say what a chord your Wondertime post ...I wanted to say what a chord your Wondertime post struck.

The logic is that he'll do the housework that is super-obviously in desperate need of attention (like a sink that has become convex with dirty plates), but is always about two weeks behind me on the tasks that are a little less in-your-face, like overflowing laundry baskets and empty underwear drawers.
