One Sibling at a Time

Apparently, we’re running out of space in our Lair. I say “apparently” because we’ve just moved Zaltu into her own room and EG Dad is unsure how long she can share with the crapload of EG toys in there. We already have Sinister and Nefarious sharing a room, and who […]

One Red Shirt At A Time

There are certain phrases that are music to my ears: Mum, that’s just evil. Honey, the kids are finally asleep. And… Fine, I’ll be the Red Shirt, but only this time!! EG Dad is partaking in NERF War with Sinister and Nefarious. Z is sleeping on my shoulder, oblivious to […]

…Dr Seuss style

I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living. It’s a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope, which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life’s realities. – Dr Seuss In EG Lair, […]

One Rainy Day at a Time

I have received reports from minions in Queensland, Australia. Reports of extreme weather. I would love to claim credit for weather control, but alas – this one is natural causes. At the same time, minions in the UK are having extreme cold. What’s the point of these? Both sets of […]

One cough at a time

Come closer. I can’t talk very well at the moment. A little closer. Just a little. *cough*  *splutter*  *wheeze*  *cough* Nothing better than germ warfare. Seriously though, I’ve been absolutely sick for the last 2 weeks. And I am so over it. Just before the seasonal “time off work” period […]

One Social Norm at a Time

It’s amazing how excited everyone gets about Christmas. Carols and bad covers of said carols are played repeatedly throughout the stores. Snow-field decorations adorn every shopping strip (no matter which hemisphere you live in). And Santa visits each mall, ready to take photos and patiently listen to heavily-considered wish lists. […]

One Poison Dart Frog at a Time

This is the point where I cannot believe in the nonsense of Intelligent Design. Seriously – what super-natural drugs are out there for some all-high deity to think HOT PINK with blue legs is a great colour for a frog?!? Now don’t get me wrong. I understand that not ALL […]

One Educated Girl at a Time

I came across this article today (good work Checklist Mommy) and it has been gnawing at me all day. I also checked out the NY Times piece on the same event. This whole event pisses me off. Short summary – Malala Yousafzai is a 14 year old girl in Pakistan. Even […]

One Freak at a Time

Basic evil skill – convincing someone the pool water is warm. Most days I can tell when Sinister is lying to me. And I’ll give him this: He really did think that the water was warm. Thus me calling him a freak. <*insert raucous childish laughter*> “Thanks… now, what’s a […]
