If I am MIA..

My laptop has decided to expire. Pieces of the plastic are literally disintegrating inside it. Buttons are popping off like mad. The screen flashes random colors and the keyboard stopped working, but never fear, I will still be blogging. On a much older and slower computer.

Blog update

Thanks for being patient with last nights' blog upgrade!

Just in case you didn't notice...

This blog is getting a makeover! Arrgh I must say XML is annoying. Back in the old days (when we walked to school uphill both ways) there was just plain old html code. In the meantime the posts are still live so check back often! Feel free to peruse the archives. I will post giveaways later on today.

WHAT!?

YOU HAVEN'T SUBSCRIBED YET!!!!!!!!!!??????

New Blog Name

I changed my blog name in honor of an unsettling experience that happened last week. Actually exactly one week ago today. I went to pick up the kids after school and the weirdest thing happened as we went through the car line.
Some things were floating around ahead of us and I assumed it was those fuzzy pollen things that float around this time of year.

Well I was mistaken.

So here we were sitting in car line, nice warm day so the windows were down, and suddenly we are surrounded by bees. Many many bees. Not a couple, not 10 or even 20, or a hundred. This was a whole hive! All over the car, peering in the windows, hovering outside the rolled down windows.

THE WINDOWS!

I hit the window buttons (with lightning fast reflexes is what my kids said when retelling the story, I like that...Ninja Mom to the rescue ) and nary a bee got inside.
Even so my oldest was a little traumatized and shed a tear or two.

Apparently too many queens are being born and they will divide hives and/or take over and lead the hives elsewhere. A couple different hives swarmed this same day.

Here is a fun find in honor of my new Ninja Mom status ;)
