Happy Monday! Today is the first day of school for my first born so the potluck will be abbreviated due to “labeling fatigue”. Any mother of a lower grade school student can feel my sticky, sharpie stained pain. After labeling pencils, crayons, markers, rulers, pencil boxes, books, notebooks, backpack, lunch box and water bottle I just need a nap…

So today’s food is NOT homemade at all. This is a real sacrifice easy one for me since I would have stopped by the grocery store on the way to the potluck anyway. This was a special request of Ali who is concerned about eating homemade food at potlucks because she isn’t sure what people are “scratching” at home. EW!

What is up with Holly’s coccyx?

Just the question, “how long could this possibly persist?” And if your answer is anything in excess of one more week please don’t mention it…

Let’s find out who is Peep of the Week!


This comment was in reference to last week’s Peep of the Week:
Dude. Drama TOTALLY needs to write me a letter.
(Jealous!)


This week’s Peep of the Week has created one of those picture inside of a picture inside of a picture inside of a picture….events in my brain because in reference to last week’s Peep of the Week the original creator of Peep of the Week wins this week’s Peep of the Week! Congrats Loralee!

And now for something really different…

Rhett (2) pleaded last night that I spread peanutbutter on his bacon. Since his bacon was of the faux variety I reasoned that putting peanuts on top of soybeans would be no big deal. And he was whining and pleading and making my brain bleed.

He reports it is very yummy. In fact he requested it again at breakfast. No one else in the family is brave enough to try it so I have no collaboration if it is true.

Yep, it is that time again…

a bunch of green bananas.

One more thing before you rush to find your peanutbutter and bacon…

  1. I find myself wanting some blogtips (cant remember that category in your old potlucks) about adding embedded comments. Awesome

    KEEP BELIEVING

  2. I think peanut butter bacon might just be good! Salty and sweet…that kid of yours is ON to something BIG!

  3. You crack me up, Holly.

    (Lurker, first time commenter. I think.)

    You’ll have to have a wake for the coccyx segment if you’re going to kill it. I have a feeling that there will be coccyx-lovers out there that can’t live without it. (Wow. That sounds really weird.)

    And! I would totally cook for the potluck. side dish? salad? casserole? Let me know!

  4. Ahhh I remember labelling fatigue I had labelling induced nightmares involving black textas and glue. scary stuff
    It is always a bittersweet moment when they go off to school for the first time..*sigh* and truly fake bacon? My mind is boggling…. fake bacon eeeewww… Why would you eat fake bacon?
