I am trying to purge.
Not sure if it’s because of…
a.) my daughter’s obsession with American Pickers
b.) trying to decide if we’re going to put our house on the market
c.) my hubby watching Hoarders online.
Anyway, it’s a good thing.
I managed to get through the books in our dining room.

Last night we took the family to “Wicked!” The celebrated Broadway musical has made it’s way to our tiny pebble and even has a lottery for people wanting the coveted tickets.
It was amazing.
(Except for my supposedly great seat choices. We were all moving this way and that because I think everyone in the row in front of us was over 5’9″ and we are all vertically challenged…) My five year old is begging me to see every play and musical that comes to town. Hamlet is playing at the Rep and he even wants to go see that.
I adore Gregory Maguire’s books. They are amazingly… well, wicked? Very twisted and enchanting. Painful and beautiful stories. I was really wondering how Wicked (the book)
Gorgeous musical.
Go try defying gravity!
Okay,
So I am going to try to participate in Crunchy Chicken’s “Freeze Yer Buns” pledge.
The challenge?
Pledge to Freeze Yer Buns
To sign up for the challenge, add a comment to this post on Crunchy Chicken and pledge what temperatures you will keep your thermostat. (Also comment on my post here!)
Why?
To try and lower our normal heated temperature in the colder months to conserve energy, and lower the amount of CO2 we put out into the atmosphere. She is a tough one and pledges 62 in the day and 55 at night.
I am not sure I can do that cold.
Well, I could but my skinny kids and cold-blooded hubby probably can’t. We shall see how low we can go!
Maybe I should start knitting again….
I have been a parent for 13 years.
So far we’ve had 3 broken bones, several bad ow-ies, but no stitches (amongst my three kids.)
I can’t claim that anymore….

Youngest kiddo had a run-in at school with a door frame…
Three stitches total!
He didn’t cry or flinch during the whole ordeal. What a tough cookie. He said that now he looks like Frankenstein in time for Halloween.
My kids have gone to two charter schools and two magnet schools. (They now all go to a fabulous charter school.) We are lucky that in our area we have choices (even though I didn’t feel like our local school was one of those.) I think the main point of the movie was that we need to become active in fixing this problem (volunteer, campaign, donate, get informed.)
Fantastic movie. I really encourage everyone even slightly interested in education to go see it.
Opens tomorrow most places!
