Trying to maintain my sanity and live to blog about it.
Our dishwasher is complaining. It has been for a while. It runs great, cleans the dishes great, but it has buttons. Oft-pushed buttons. So now, when pushed, they typically ignore you all together. No go, not gonna do it. It’s become a game to see who can get the dishwasher to start. If we all […]
Sterling Blaine, talented child that he is, can put an umbrella pole through the top of his head and take it out of his mouth. Or something like that.
One hot summer spring day we passed the (root) beer around threw in some ice cream a whole lot of littles and a kiss, for good measure.
She’s been accused of cookie thievery. She’s pled not guilty. The evidence, however, says she’s lying. When frowning and denying the truth didn’t work, she went for the clown act. I refuse to admit say if that worked or not.
Meet Obie, Charlotte’s stunt double. When pottying gets laborious, she sets Obie to task and heads to her trailer for primping.

Last night was the kid’s co-op musical. Both girls had dance parts. Tiny choir robes are about the cutest things I’ve seen in a while. Eden choked on was a grape. All in all, it was a great night. Everyone did a fabulous job. And I’m so glad it’s over… pretty sure there isn’t anyone […]
Digging up hard rocky ground with a pick to plant 20 plants results in a need for ibuprofen. Who would have thought? I can carry around two 20+ lb. kids at the same time for an hour or more without a second thought, but planting flowers gets the better of me. Ugh. On the bright […]
