The Five of Us, Spring 2014
How Many Days...?
Punk has started asking, "How many days until my birthday?" pretty much daily. Did we create this monster with the Advent Calendar? Yipes. In an effort to appease him, I put a counter over there ---> so now I'll always have the accurate answer! Fortunately, the math for the next answer ("How many days until Pea's birthday?") is easy--subtract 10. And, then add 25 (to Punk's count) for my birthday. Boy, my mental math skills are going to be HONED by the time July 25, 2009 rolls in!

Talk To Me
I blog for myself and my kids and I would do it even if no one else cared, but I do like to hear from you (and think it's a wee bit creepy of you to voyeurize us without my knowing it). So, please leave a comment from time to time, or email me anytime at xawilsons@hotmail.com. Much obliged, I'm sure.

Hi there. This is totally unrelated to the post, but since your page says you want to know who's reading, I thought I'd say hello. I'm not sure where I found your blog, I saw it when I was going through old websites I had bookmarked. But then I did a search and it turns out there's a link on "The Boy Who Found Me," so that's probably where the original link came from. I just thought I'd go ahead and explain my presence :)
