Last night started Operation: Pierce Sleeps At Night. We broke away from Operation: Pierce Nurses All Night and went for Operation: Pierce Screams All Night. It was a really, really long night. Since Pierce shares a room with all of his siblings, I was afraid today was going to be nightmarish. When I asked Blaine […]
There will be blood.
I’ve seen women with cute metal bangle bracelets and wished I had some. That pony tail holder is just not so chic. Problem: I have larger hands than most, apparently. Freakishly large, perhaps. I don’t really want to know. Bangle bracelets don’t even begin to fit over them. (Onto my ever so petite wrists, you […]
When you put it that way…
I sound like quite the task master. For the record, washing windows, unfortunately, doesn’t happen around here so often. Once, twice a year if I’m on the ball. Mopping is reserved for Momma unless they beg, (and that’s happened) because I’m too picky. And mowing?! The girl is too small to get the brake engaged… […]
A whole lot of ruckus.
We had a pretty good storm last night. We were gone for the evening and came home to a minor mess. My laundry on the clothesline is sopping wet, many pieces of clothing are in the mud instead, and the line is hanging ridiculously low. The cast iron grill was blown over (impressive!) and, from […]
Combat Ant Bait Giveaway!
I was sent Combat Source Kill Max Ant Bait and Ant Gel to review and host a giveaway to you, my readers. I’m having one problem: the ants haven’t hit yet! Without a doubt, they are coming. And I’m ready! The Ant Gel contains Fipronil, a fast acting active ingredient that kills the ants pestering […]
Project: Containment.
It’s been a bag-sewing day. This summer, after stuffing eight towels in a three-towel bag more times than I can count, my dear husband suggested I make one to fit our family. Meet, the new beach bag, Polka Dotty. (Thank you, Hobby Lobby, for your clearance fabric rack. I’m not that picky. It’s perfect.) With […]
Happy birthday, happy birthday…
Someone turns 30 tomorrow. She knows who she is. Half the country away, this is all the party I can throw for her. I’m trying. I’m attempting slight discretion here, in case she doesn’t want the world to know… but HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you, dear ____. 🙂
The conversations in the back of my van went something like this: “Why do boy Indians have long hair?” “Because they don’t have time to cut it.” “Charlotte, you’re a big baby. You don’t need toys in the van. You can play with them in Sunday school. Pierce is a little baby. He needs them […]
Mis-termed communication.
My kids managed to pick up one of those lovely sayings that I’ve so enjoyed NOT hearing since they are homeschooled and a bit more sheltered from such things. Ruby’s version: “How old are you?”“28.”“What color is the sky?”“Blue.”“Momma blew up! Isn’t that funny?” Oh, so funny. Eden, coming at me with the real version, […]
Child genius… or not.
Pierce wanted to be in school this morning. Fourth grade math and learning to read provided him an adequate challenge, to be sure. Child genius? Maybe not. Something about eating the erasers doesn’t scream ready for school.
