So, this week…finishing my novel (or posting too much. One or the other.) Next week, or whenever I finish, I’d like to try to take my house back. I have this inane idea that I’d like to use my dining room table for…dining. Now, I know that sounds outrageous. Who would not want to sit…

Juss is sitting on the couch, eating a bagel and drinking Kool-Aid (which we have never had in the house before, but he was fascinated by the idea of it, so we made some…entire cup of sugar and all!) Juss: “Mom, what does calm mean?” Mommy: “At peace. Like water with no ripples.” Juss: “No.…

So I came in from a Mom’s Breakfast Out to find that the children had gotten into the four different bags of orange-colored cheesie snake stuffs that Ping-Ping had picked out yesterday. Juss came upstairs and we had the following conversation: Me: “I see you guys got into the snacks.” Juss: “Yeah, it was easy…

As you may have noticed, Wright’s Writing Corner has been on hiatus. I hope to get back to it, but not, alas, until after I am done with doing child care on Wed. morning…in about eight weeks. In the meantime, one brief “Overheard At The Wright Household” Juss on Wizard’s 101: “I’m tired of fighting…

Juss, upon receiving a MacDonald’s Happy Meal: “But Mom! I got a girltoy!” Mom: “I asked for a boytoy.” Juss: “Well, I got a girltoy.” Mom: “You were supposed to get a trunk.” Juss, voice filled with outrage and horrified astonishment, “I got a pony!” comments

Juss, commenting upon a Penny Arcade comic in which one of the characters threatens to kill himself, take over the afterworld, and come back to destroy the other (for the offence of thinking that Warhammer was a rip-off of its spin-offs.) :  “But if you want to take over the afterworld after you die, you…

I’m sitting doing the copyedits for Prospero Regained. Behind me, Orville is listening to the Fellowship of the Ring. Ocassionally, he comments aloud. At one point, I hear: “Not that easy! They at least make a pit-stop at Moria!” Well…Moria is a pit. comments

 Today, I went on a field trip with Orville’s class. Because, in previous years, Orville tended to discard his human seeming and return to his tornado form on field trips, I have gone on nearly every trip he has ever had. Nowadays, he really is more a human than a tornado, but the tradition of…

I very seldom get to do an “Overheard” on the Cherubim, but here’s one:   The Cherubim just came and asked for noodles, his current favorite food. I don’t think we’ll be having noodles tonight, so I told him no. It was right before dinner, so I offered him water.   As I was getting…

  I arrived at the door of Juss’s friend’s house. His friend, who is a couple of years older than him, met me at the door with the words: “Juss told me about your ghost problem. I’ve started a Ghost Hunting business. I’d like to come over and check it out.” Being a good roleplayer,…
