I feel now is a good time to remind people:
mar-see-ah:
It’s the INTERNET and your mom circa 1995 was right and not everyone is who and what they claim to be.
Okay OKAY I admit I am not really your adorable younger librarian sister. I’m a fraud. I pay these random cute neighborhood kids to pretend to be my children a la Help Wanted Kids and I spend my days trying to think of interesting things that might be happenning to me if I...
So - the other day I had a raspberry truffle cake ball and just now I read a post on my dash about someone being so totally over cake balls and now all I can do is think, “cake ball, cake ball, CAKE BALL!”
Or really any sort of chocolately cake thing would make me happy. Anybody feel like stopping by the library with a big chocolate raspberry cake for me? In ball or cake form -...

Because otherwise sitting down to dinner I realize I haven’t eaten all day and it’s too late to prevent the incoming migraine.
So ... my children just had a screaming fight...
Kaylee claims only she and Pippa are being followed by aliens.
Pippa claims I am being followed too.
Brandon (who is acting as Skinner to this Mulder/Scully combo) says that “if Pippa says mommy is being followed then we should proceed as if she is just to be on the safe side.”

You have Meijer in Illinois? I love Meijer (err…despite the old milk, although, I suppose if it’s within it’s expiration date, I might be more worried by how long Nesquik chocolate milk can stay good)! They make the best chocolate-chip cookies!
Yes! I LOVE MEIJER! And I was on my phone so I don’t...
Important fact of the moment
Pippa pronounces “Koala” like “Kolala”
So Kaylee overheard something about a cat that was...
And that would have led to a dark dinner conversation except she wanted to know what portured means and wouldn’t let us define tortured instead. She got SO ANGRY at us.

Wait, TONIGHT is the World Premiere of The Voice?
I swear I’ve been seeing commercials for that show for years
And a random world peace
I mean - I’m a fan of world peace and all but it came outa nowhere.
Overall I liked it.
Like a Prayer always makes me cry
And I am also always a fan of a good gospel style choir
Ok, I'm always a fan of a good drum line.

Is this Greek or Egyptian Mythology?
That guy has Loki horns and those guys look Roman.
I asked Pippa what she wanted for snack
“A biiig cup of ranch!”

Ok, so Brandon and I were talking about whether...
And I was all, “let me warn you - I can’t even make it through the trailer without getting all verclempt. I mean - last night I was scrolling through my dash when a gif of Katniss screaming ‘I VOLUNTEER!’ came up and I started crying!”
Except I wasn’t. I couldn’t even tell him what I saw on my dash because even remembering that gif got me choked up.

Guys, I'm raising a little Machiavelli. This same...
K: Pippa, can I have the doll you're playing with right now?
P: No!
K: Let's play a game! Pippa, say "Kaylee, here. Have this dolly."
P: Kaylee, here. Have this dolly.
(Kaylee takes the doll and Pippa is happy.)

“Kaylee went to the store and she bought candy COMMA cheese COMMA apples COMMA...”
– Kins pointed to a comma and asked what it was so we had the comma talk (with necessary mini rant about the imortance of the Harvard Serial Comma) and this was her example sentence of how to use a comma properly.

“I don’t like wearing my glasses all the time because when I am wearing...”
– So I’ve been worrying about whether glasses for Kaylee is the right thing because my mom always said that when she got her glasses she was SO happy because suddenly she could SEE, ya know? But Kins won’t say if her glasses make her see better, she doesn’t understand clarity and...

– Real actual historical fact that I really actually just used in a conversation about real actual history. I haven’t really slept much in 40 hours. That is my only defence.
