The thing is, I love this blog. I can not bring myself to delete it. But I also can not bring myself back to the bloggers table. I've tried, over at fun Frieda. That was supposed to serve as a sort of "behind the scenes" for my etsy shop - but even there I feel like a stubborn mule being led dragged up the mountain. But, lotsa good memories, here.

I'll be focusing more of my attention here, now. For those who are used to seeing "theflyingmum" in your comments, be aware that it is I, "funfrieda," now being wowed by your wit and insights.

Well hello there, bloggy peeps! Too much has happened around the flying household to possibly cover, but in a nutshell; started volunteering at the public school we enrolled Ben in last January (love-love-LOVED his teacher!), got the bug to re-enter the educational field (re-activated my expired teaching certificate, applied for a part-time teaching job), summer started, swimming lessons,

Did you ever have one of those days when you thought you'd be in the shower by 8:30 am and out the door by 9:30 am, but instead you sit down and make three bracelets to put in your etsy shop. And then you have to photograph them, and then edit out all the bad photos. Then you decide that a piece of black velvet would make a nice backdrop for the bracelets, but the velvet looks like it has been

In honor of the coming vernal equinox and in a rather late - though no less shameless - attempt to promote my stuff, I am hosting my first ever giveaway! The lucky recipient of the goods will get a small (8 3/4" x 5 3/4") journal/sketchbook covered by me in a lovely imported paper of robin's egg blue embroidered in an all-over scroll design with silver thread. I'll also include a four season's

Ben has been sick lately. A lot. He was sick a week ago, and then again last weekend. He was fine and attended school all week but was sick both weekends. Fine during the week, sick on the weekends - the boy has got it seriously backwards! And we had plans this past weekend. Plans that had been postponed from the previous sick weekend. Plans that involved the pet store and ice cream. Poor guy.

Which is what happens when you don't have a sewing room or studio. And the natural light that floods this particular corner of the house is wonderful. I'll be adding those journals laying on the table to the Etsy shop - reluctantly, I might add, as I really love that yellow and green paper. The green design is flocked, so it feels like velvet. Very lovely, tactile paper for a journal. The

Hi, thanks for your wishes of wellness. It seems that cyber-whining is karmically bad mojo as I ended up with not just a little sniffly, drippy cold - but a face-achingly sleep prohibitive whopper of a sinus infection. It's on its way out (knock wood) thanks to a self-imposed dairy product embargo and a neti pot. I will spare you the details of the neti pot, but honestly? It does a better job of

Ben picked it up at school and brought it home to me. You know, "The Crud." The virus that has you running to the other side of the house for tissues with your head tipped back so as not to drip. How my nose can drip anything while it is so plugged up is a mystery that is, frankly, too gross to solve. My ears are also plugged, and I find that I am coughing so unexpectedly that I now feel a

In June, 1986, I graduated from Western Washington University with a BA in German Ed. The BA was in German, and I had what I think they called a "Professional Studies" in Education. I had completed all the University requirements in the Ed department to qualify me for my certificate to teach German at the secondary school level: 6th through 12th grades. Two years after that, I received in the

Are you getting tired of the Halloween post yet? I am. I've been working on a post with a little bit of what's going on around here lately, but until I'm finished, here's some useful information that I thought would be nice to share.

There was a thin layer of frost on my car before we even went to bed last night. When I got up this morning, it was 29 degrees. A good six hours of freezing temperatures have effectively ended the garden season, but I ventured out early this morning to see what, if anything, could be salvaged. What a gorgeous morning! Yes, frost on the tomatoes, but also... frost on the pumpkins!

This has been a great year for our fruit orchard. And while the start of the season always seems to catch me off guard, (apples now rotting on the compost heap...) by now I'm getting the hang of it. The canning jars, lids, and rings take up temporary residence in one corner of the kitchen, the canning kettle gets jockeyed around the stove and counter tops for lack of available surface space

Lately I have been trying to figure out how to end this blog. And a little bit of "do I really want to end this blog?" Yes, and no. I don't know. All through the day, I make mental notes for future posts - but the thought of sitting down at the computer, like I am right now, well, it's currently way down at the bottom of my list. A very, very low priority. It has been a busy, eventful summer.

THIS is an excellent book. It's been Ben's fave for the past three years. Today, while reading "The World of Micro life," Ben stopped to ponder: "Bacteria is an animal, right?"Me: "Mmm hmmm"Ben: "Then, if I stop taking care of my teeth, I'll have pets!"Whoa.Aaaaaaanyway...

Well my bags are (not) packed and I'm ready to go... So ready. In all my 20 years in the travel industry, I have never, ever been on a cruise that was longer than a day and didn't involve catching fish. Granted, I am in the flying end of the travel industry spectrum. Nevertheless, I AM SO EXCITED! We'll hit Juneau, Sitka and Ketchikan, and will be joined by 12 other family members from both

Just a quiet, rainy day - doing laundry and listening to this and this. Perfect rainy-day music.School ends this Friday. It's been a really good year - I like the school and I've met some really nice people whose kids are also enrolled there. I'll miss the daily visiting at drop-off, and hope that the tentave playdates actually pan out.We already have a LOT scheduled for the summer; Alaska cruise

It's Clothesline weather again! Yay!Does anyone else's kid continually use their clothes as a napkin? If so, what are you doing to remedy this? Because seriously, I'm thinking about converting Ben's wardrobe to "Tie-Dye Everything."A later start than I'd hoped, but with any luck, we'll have some fresh veggies this summer!(Pssst it's almost time for Folklife :)Ooo, ooo, I think one of my favorite

I am, at heart, a happy person. I know this, because sometimes when I am exercising and my heart is really pumping good, I can feel the happiness all the way into the core of my being. Not endorphins, happiness.But there are things that can cloud my happiness. Usually some small thing - perhaps something someone said, or the way they said it, or the way they looked when they said it... you get my

It's over. The Auction for Ben's school was last weekend, and I am officially exhausted and now have that achy-might-be-coming-down-with-something feeling. Just in time for work this weekend. Nice.But we did it! And we managed to make a tidy sum of money for the school. The school exists solely on the tuition payments of 6 full-time students and about 37 part-time preschoolers. I mean: the rent

Remember this? well this year is different, so far. I mean, I was dreading it, because I remembered that post - and also I think I may have something, uh, hormonal going on. But to my advantage was the memory of last years frustration and the realization that I'd better have plenty of "things to do" for the sake of BOTH of our sanities. So yesterday we spent a couple of hours at the local

Yes, the auction - a fund-raiser for the Montessori School that Ben attends - is in 2 1/2 weeks. People (including us) just got their invitations last Friday. After reading mine, I noticed that the directions to the event were printed on the back of the R.S.V.P. card and, while the "Free Babysitting" was advertised, the location of the babysitters (at the school, not the event) was not.Yesterday,

Yeah, so, this is pretty much how I look these days. That was a pretty good hair day too. I recently started getting "regular hair maintenance" (sounds like I'm talking about a car, doesn't it - *sigh* it's been a while) and I'm still getting used to using all these "styling aids" (roundy-brushy things and hair dryers) and "products" (anti-frizzy things and shine enhancers)It's a lot more work

The fact that my six year old son knows which Muc*nex to take and when ("...bubblegum or grape during the day, orange cream before bedtime...") seems a little worrisome to me.

Go Ask Alice The holidays were busy. I think we can all agree on that. I know many of you eased off of blogging a bit from Thanksgiving through the start of the year. But I'm not going to use that as an excuse for why I completely stalled out in November. In fact, I'm not going to offer any excuses. The plain and simple truth is that I started to dislike blogging.

Cold - like a forgotten and rediscovered half-drunk cup of coffee. The question remains: re-warm it in the microwave, or dump it down the drain? Me? I like iced coffee. Game on.

One of the radio stations that we listen to is having a Desert Island Disc play-a-thon this long Veteran's Day weekend. Basically, they asked listeners to send in their lists of 3 cd's they could listen to for the rest of time if stranded on a desert island with a "kick-ass" (solar powered?) stereo system. This weekend the station is playing one song from each of the three cd's from the lists

Happy Birthday to Me - Part II: Insignificant Other I'm not really sure how to go about writing this, because it is not intended to hurt my husband's feelings, though he knows that he did indeed hurt mine. And he also knows I intended to blog about it. And he has tried to make up for his mistake. But still, it's hard to recount the events of my birthday without possibly making him feel bad all

Happy Birthday to Me(me) Part I This Post is Late Over one week late, actually. You see Sunday, October 28th, was my 44th birthday and I had intended to finally post my "Factoids to the Power of Four" meme that Alpha DogMa tagged me with weeks ago because 44, power of 4... But as it turned out, on my ACTUAL birthday I was not interested in blogging AT ALL. And the reason is a whole blog post by

I did not eat any of the Halloween candy. Um, I did not eat any of the Halloween candy... after Halloween. I sent it to school with Ben to share there. Anyway, it was treat bags comprised of leftover favors and pinata candies from Ben's birthday party last August. Don't worry, it wasn't 3 month old chocolate (that never would have made it this long) rather "L@FfY TAfFy and suckers which I believe

Not one. measly. trick-or-treater.But we really enjoyed the decorations anyway.I added waaaaaaay more spiders. Like 220 or so...I discovered the best way to get them in there is to stand a ways back and then simply fling the spiders into the web. They look more natural and they stick better too. And it is way faster which is A-OK with me, the impatient one.Note: I am really freaked out by spiders

Todays mission was: YOU ARE A SUPERSTAR! What are the tabloids saying about you today? I had a lot of fun thinking of all the ways I could go with this, but it's also a little sad that Actual Stars really DO get press like this. Which makes me infinitely grateful that I live in relative obscurity. Even so, here is what they would be saying about me today. Or last week. Or the week before that...

Next Monday is my last as host of the Monday Missions. Painted Maypole has so, so graciously offered to take them on again for November (Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Painted Maypole. Thank You!) Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy hosting, it's just that it's a bit hard coming up with topics. Back before the month started, TFH and I sat outside on the deck at a nearby restuarant and brainstormed

You were born on this day, exactly one year ago. You were so small, and I really didn't know what to do with you. I was afraid to "go pubic" with you, worried about what others might think. Because, I thought, you are not like them."They" all seemed far more developed than you were: smarter, prettier, sager, wittier, profounder (is that a word?)... and I thought,"What's with all the Canadians

Today's mission was to play art critic and write a review of one of your child's creative endeavors. I had fun with this one - hope you did too! Known to family and friends simply as "Ben," this artist has taken the medium of Play-Dough sculpture to the next level - ground level. His current piece, a work in progress, is titled "Dried Bits in Carpet" and can now be viewed in the home of the

Transportation Device This device enables one to be transported to foreign lands in the blink of an eye. With it, one can scale the highest mountains, plunge far below the seas or travel into deepest space. But this device not only transports in this space and time - it enables one to travel back in time or into the future - where one may walk among people young and old: kings and queens as well

AAAAAAACK! So sorry, people - earlier today when I tried to post the topic for this Monday, our cable was out. (no cable = no internet :( ) Then I, uh, just sort of forgot about it... Anyway, if you have the time this weekend and would like to play along: describe a common object in uncommon terms. Be creative! Have fun! Keep everyone wondering what the heck you are talking about!

Wow! Yesterday was a good day! It was cool and rainy-ish here, so while Ben was at school, I got all project-y and decided to "whip up" some flannel pajama bottoms for him. I've had a pattern for literally years. It's one of those that has like, five different sizes (of which we are now in the largest) intended to grow with your child - as long as you don't forget, and cut out the smallest size,

Which I forgot to do. Which is why it shows the 4th as a publish date. So Wednesday night, I climbed into bed with a notebook (the old fashioned paper kind) and pen, and started in on it.

These are the feet of an athlete!OK, well, actually these feet have athlete's foot. I have been plagued by athlete's foot since elementary school. I don't remember how old I was, but still pretty young, I guess - maybe 3rd grade? Anyway, I distinctly remember my mother asking the pharmacist at the Rexall Drug Store what he recommended, as the "tough actin' Tinactin" was actin' rather poorly.

Oh! How I wish I had a digital video camera. Or even knew how to do that voice recording thingy that you can then post to your blog, because Ben is in his room singing right now. Our local library has a copy of Robert McCloskey's "Blueberries for Sal" that has an audio recording along with it. The recording must have been done in the 70's.

One week from tomorrow, TFH will enter the submarine base for the last time as an enlisted man, and exit it for the first time as a civilian. This is a bittersweet time for us. It is truly "The End of an Era" for him, us, all of us. But it is also a new beginning. Friends, there is

So if you are interested in paticipating this month, please head on over to Painted Maypole's blog for the topics. I know I will!

When you pull up my blog, does the "Flying Mum" banner stick out of the frame on the right side? We have a wide screen on our laptop and the banner is nicely centered in the frame when I look at it here at home, but when I've pulled up my blog at my folks' or my in-laws, the banner sort of hangs over the edge a little on the right. I'm just wondering if I need to go back and crop it some more.

OK, I'm back home now. The Leatherman has been found. It was in the pocket of TFH's blue coveralls. He took it from Ben about a week ago, because Ben wanted to play "Plungerman" (?!!) I don't know exactly what "Plungerman" is. No one does save Ben, that is. It doesn't involve the plunger in the bathroom, thank God. Today I dropped Ben off at his first day of First grade - we decided to go with

Work often gives me the distance I need to put my life into perspective. I have been thinking about the whole Leatherman thing. I have been thinking about how I could have handled it - handled my reaction - better. A wise friend once told me to discipline with love, rather than anger. I really want to do this. Oh, I wish I would remember, when I am standing over my small child with my scolding

My Leatherman Multi-Tool is missing. Normally, it lives in the glove compartment of my Subaru. Today when I went out to run some errands, I noticed that the glove box was open and a cusory inspection revealed that the Leatherman was not there. I was all prepared to get snippy with TFH (who was at the hardware store with Ben at the time) because he has his OWN Leatherman, but later when we were

Why I now want to change my blog moniker to "the mother-flipper."

We finished it a little after lunch.Ben added some text to the front flap. Obviously, it means that he is a "Bionic Master."

What to do when your son is "bored?"Create a SPACEBOY suit, of course.All you need is a couple boxes, some rolls of silver duct tape, and a small boy.(P.S. - it's still a work in progress...)

...but it might not be. My husband, The Floating Husband (TFH for short,) has taken an interest in my hobby. I think it started on one of his duty nights. "Duty" means a shift of about 30 + hours at work, stretching into the wee hours of the morning. Boredom and Internet access led him to my blog. Then to the comments left on my blog. Then to YOU! He's really taken to some of you, and sometimes

Tuesday August 14th, 2001: I was having mild labor pains all day.We went to bed at 10:00 pm.At 11:45 pm my water broke - it was dark and murky: meconium.We were at the hospital by 12:00 am.After informing the attending nurse that my Doc wanted an ultrasound before delivery (to check head position due to possibility of Down's Syndrome) I was sent in for an X-ray (no ultrasound tech on duty at 1:00

Me (upon exiting the shower and realizing that my towel is not within reach): "Ben, could you bring me my towel, I think it's the pink one." Ben: retrieves towel and throws it towards the tub. Me: "How many times do I have to tell you not to throw things at people when they ask you for something?!" Ben: "Six?"

Maybe I am odd, but I loved being pregnant. To me, pregnancy is the fulfillment of womanhood. This is what a woman's body is made for, why it looks the way it looks and functions the way it does. I was fulfilling my body's purpose.I did not suffer from morning sickness, I only lost my appetite for sweetened foods, which aren't good for me anyway.I loved my burgeoning body.I started exercising for

My husband the sailor, aka "The Floating Husband," (thank you, Alpha DogMa) has 90 days of leave to "burn" before retiring from the US Navy in late September of this year. His leave started on June 10th, and so far, he only has to go in to work for one week (next week) and a couple of days next month. So, with the exception of a few days away here and there on my part, we are all home this summer

Hello friends! I hope you are enjoying the warm weather as much as I am. We are having absolutely gorgeous weather here and are spending as much time as possible outside. With our fair freckly skin this means we are keeping the sunscreen companies in the black while preventing our tender flesh from becoming too red. I am back at the computer today because AlphaDogMa has tagged me with the 8

For Ben, and really, TFH and me as well, it has been a year of firsts: first day of kindergarten, first school concert, first field trip, and today, the culmination of it all - first LAST day of school. As the bus pulled away from the side of the road today, Ben's face was pulled into a knot of despair, tears spilling out of his eyes. Let me clarify something, Ben has not been a big fan of

I will be on an airplane, heading off to work on Father's Day. We will try to do something special as a family on Friday or Saturday, but I still feel a little pang of guilt about not celebrating my husbands parental staus on the actual day. So I am posting this video, that Misty had a link to on her blog, in recognition of my husband: Ben's father and caretaker, while I wipe noses on the

Meet Twinkle, short for "Twinkle-Toes." This was not the name I would have given her, but The Floating Husband said it once (or maybe twice) and from then on, for Ben, that was her name. I felt better when my bfitwww, Elaine, said that she thought "Twinkle" - for short - was an excellent name for a cat. Twinkle it is, then. Twinkle was a stray, living on the empty lot (which is filled with junk)

I've checked two different web sites, and we currently have no registered sex offenders living in our neighborhood. It is really easy to check, though I believe the local law enforcement has to inform people if a sex offender moves in to their neighborhood. They do not, it appears, have to tell you when one leaves your neighborhood, so it's good to periodically check. I googled "registered sex

And boots.And if you check out those boots, well...Anyway, he was hot and cranky, and I told him that that is why people wear shorts in the summer, but he is having none of it.

Yesterday was a very, very long day...OK, it was just CRAZY crowded at the Folklife Festival:If you click to enlarge that photo, you might just see how far back the sea of heads goes.

Sara recently told me that she'd be stepping onto an airplane for the first time, and asked if I had any advice as she's more that a little nervous. I am always happy to oblige this request, as over the years I have figured out how to make the most of my commuting time. I spend anywhere from 4 1/2 to 6 hours sitting on planes "commuting" to and from work the way that some of you may sit on

Clouds that blew in yesterday afternoon / evening are expected to linger into the morning hours. Despite the later-than-usual setting of the Son last night, Sonrise occurred earlier than expected. This will lead to high pressure gradients that are expected to depart around 8:10 am. Late morning sunshine accompanied by high levels of intention mixed with lack of motivation could cause some fog in
