The Rules For New Years Eve
We live in a semi-civilized society. At least, I’d like to think that we do. As a mom of 3 children under the age of eight, I would like to think that I have learned a few life lesssons. Certainly a few lessons in etiquette. You don’t change a diaper on the table at Applebee’s. If [...]
If it’s JUST a crib….
Then why am I almost in tears at the thought of getting rid of it? The Queen learned how to climb out of the Pack & Play while we were on vacation. When we go home, it only took her 2 more days to figure out how to climb out of her much-taller crib. We knew this [...]
Exactly how dumb ARE your kids?
(insert obligatory “forgive me, but I’ve been busy with the new website and please GO THERE and print off 3000 coupons from my sidebar so I can make $.14 andby the way, things have been pretty good around here, or at least, boring enough that I don’t want to blog about it, and the one thing [...]
Still too young for the convent
June 16th, 2006 June 16th, 2008 Happy Birthday Elizabeth! (I’m spending the day playing Princesses and having tea parties)
Quick Test of Motherhood
When your daughter wakes up from her nap with a 102.5 fever and a horrible croup-y cough, do you panic and rush her to the hospital? call every mom you know and ask them what should be done before rushing her to the doctor? rush her to the doctor and insist that she be seen at [...]
Can I give my mother a medal, but not tell her?
After all these years, I certainly can’t start telling her NOW that she was a good parent! When I was a child, we belonged to HoityToityPool. Every day we would get in the car and be there by noon and stay all day, often ordering in dinner of pizza and staying until they kicked us [...]
Meet My Family (100 things, part 6)
When I get comments and emails expressing sympathy for something in my life, I often like to milk it for all it’s worth make sure that I provide updates. My aloe plant is now just a little stump, but my sunburn is much better. I still look like I’m wearing a red t-shirt, but it [...]
We just po’ folk, saving fer some new teeth!
(I’m feeling very ranty) Dear Stupid, Silly, Horse-faced Woman Behind Me: I offered to let you go in front of me. Several times, in fact. You declined. Once you saw what I was up to, you had the option of changing lanes. Instead, you chose to mutter under your breath, sigh heavily and roll your [...]
Someone grab me some cheese!
Caution: some serious self-pity & whining follows Something has to give, and I don’t know what it is…nor is there anything that I want to give up (aside from scrubbing toilets, but that isn’t really an option). I don’t know what has happened recently. My children are still wonderful and I love my husband….I just can’t figure out [...]
Wrinkles aren’t THAT bad, are they?
I just spent the last 30 minutes ironing a shirt and karate patches on the Princes uniforms and they both still look like crap. Thirty.Fucking.Minutes (although the first 10 minutes were spent trying to remember where I stashed the ironing board) I’ve mentioned before that I don’t iron. I hate it and so I purposely buy wrinkle-resistant shirts (the ones [...]
