Blaine’s home. Life’s back to “normal”. My “old” friend’s visit went well. So well, we’ll see them again tonight for supper. It was so fun to “reminisce” on times past. I got a comb stuck in my hair last night. Rephrase: I had nothing to do with it. Names withheld to protect the guilty, one […]
Diet results: unsatisfactory. Must have been the placebo.
I’ve been on a diet for about 6 1/2 years now. It’s the “one bite for you, two for me” method – otherwise known as a hovering child that must eat whatever I’m eating. So tell me, why am I not a good 20 pounds lighter? Like today. Lunch today, sans Blaine, was tater tots […]
Everyday funnies.
Ruby’s teething, which means a rash. I took her diaper off, left her bare bottomed for a bit before her bath, and she climbed onto Eden’s bed to pee. Really now. I figured I’d be cleaning up a puddle off the kitchen floor – but not washing sheets, blankets, quilts, the whole bit. Seriously now. […]
ABC Mushrooms and Food Sharing 101
We had pizza for supper last night. Afterward, I had my younger two in the bathtub while the older two finished eating. Liberty came to me with a mushroom from her pizza. I love mushrooms, she doesn’t, it’s a good arrangement. I chewed and swallowed before she told me the whole story. “I was eating […]
It’s really not that complicated, baby. It’s not.
“Mom, can you make me eggs that are flat and either hard or runny?” I laugh. “Are those called fried or scrambled? I can’t remember!” “Fried, honey.” “Can you make me fried eggs that are runny?” I fried her eggs. I broke one in the pan. It’s the stove’s fault, I’m sure. (Really, it’s not […]
Just a common thief.
Sterling was stirring hot chocolate on the stove for me. Not certain he was getting the bottom as it heated, I took the spoon and stirred it a bit. “Mama, I can’t stir the haa’ choc-ate any-more. You stir it Mama. I can’t stir it. Nope.” “Why can’t you stir it anymore?” “‘Cause you ‘tole […]
Momma’s not nice after 8pm.
We moved rooms around today. I decided to put all the beds in the small bedroom, and all the dressers and toys in the front, larger bedroom. Before I started I figured if it didn’t work, I’d move it back. Having moved three dressers and a set of bunk beds from one room to the […]
Calling it a day after that one.
Let me start with a disclaimer – we live in town. Not a bad neighborhood from anything we’ve seen, but we’ve got neighbors. Lots of them. We went for a walk today. The kids had been itching to go for a bike ride, it’s been well below freezing for many days now, and it’s finally […]
Maybe…
With Blaine gone, I let Eden sleep with me last night. She was thrilled. This morning, I told her that she was a great bed companion – I really expected to be pushed out of bed, kicked, something, but she did great. Her reply? “Yeah, but you kept taking the blankets. I kept having to […]
Teething at it’s finest.
Yesterday I thought Ruby fell asleep in the shopping cart. A good 20 minutes into her full-face plant into the handle, one of the kids ran up to her yelling. I scolded them for trying to wake her up and was informed she WASN’T sleeping. She’d been chewing on the handle the whole time. Ewwww. […]
