In doing (kindergarten) math this morning with Sterling, I asked him to tell me a “some, some more” story. He looked at me with confusion. “I’ll tell you one, and then you can tell me one. Three kids were in line for the slide. One slid down. Now there are two kids waiting. Your turn.” […]
Poor boy.
Dear Pierce, Today, you are one. With a typical one-year-old vocabulary, you can’t tell me what kind of birthday dessert you’d like. You did come out with something that sounds remarkably like “I love you” – said at the appropriate time, so I’m calling it real. Impressive, Baby Boy. But I digress. Dessert. As the […]
It’s a sad state of affairs.
So I’m sitting here, staring at “Enter a post title” followed by a blank white page and I’ve realized something. My funny got up and left. Somewhere, in the stress that is life right now, my sense of humor snuck out the back without so much as a farewell. It’s a sad state of affairs. […]
My Job, According to Ruby.
Ruby had a startling observance yesterday. I was hanging up wet laundry to dry and she was ‘helping’. “You’re lucky, Momma.” Lucky is her new word. Everyone is far more lucky than she in her pessimistic worldview. “How’s that.?” “You get to sit at the computer and click, click, click while all of us have […]
Ten.
Friday Blaine and I celebrated our tenth wedding anniversary. A friend took the kids Friday and Saturday. We stayed home and wondered what on earth we’ll do when the kids are grown. It was so… quiet. No one woke me up at 4am. I got more hours of sleep straight than I have since before […]

Realization of the day:
Wash the ceiling fans. They look great, and stay clean for a LOT longer than anything else I clean in this house. The kids can’t reach them!
Just another day.
Bedtime is chaos around here. No matter how hard I try, it can’t seem to be any other way. “Pajamas and teeth, everyone.” “Why aren’t you in you pajamas?” “Are my teeth clean?” “No. What did you brush them with? Cake?!” “I didn’t brush them yet.” “Then why did you ask if they were […]
Operation: Pierce
Night 2 of Operation: Pierce Sleeps at Night had me shaking my head at why I’d been getting up, feeding a baby, and putting him back into his bed again every 2 or so hours for 346 days. (Just for the record, I did that in my head. Then I got out a calculator, actually […]
Hello, free. Hello, clean.
I still have a contest going for Combat Ant Bait and Gel here, but since it’s just so much fun to give things away, lets do this again. Soft Scrub sent me two great products. Soft Scrub Total All Purpose with Bleach, and Soft Scrub Total Bath and Bowl. I have to say, I like […]
