Go Ahead And Hate Me ... 2007-04-07 21:19:59 but this is one tradition that I could do without! There is not one part of this whole process of coloring Easter eggs that I even remotely enjoy! Yeah, I said it! So what? Do you notice all the help I'm getting from Hubby (in the picture of Jake above)?...
ABC Meme 2007-04-09 19:31:12 Lauren over at Baseballs and Bows posted this meme a couple of days ago and it looked like fun, so I am doing it here. A is for age: 35B is for beer of choice: Miller High Life Lite. Shut up, it's the champagne of beers ya know!C is for...
Goodbye For A While ... 2007-04-09 16:06:00 I'll see you next year. I hate saying goodbye to my favorite Easter Wall-hanging. Maybe that's because every time I look at it I remember how many painstaking hours it took me to complete this quilt. There were times I didn't know if I would. But, when I did, I...

Those Sweet Pearly Whites ... 2007-04-10 15:58:40 are going to start disappearing one by one and be replaced with gigantic slabs of enamel that will gorge from that little mouth and appear much larger that humanly possible until he reaches the 9th grade and they finally look to be of normal proportion. Yes, Drew lost his first... Read more:Sweet

A Mother's Love ... 2007-04-12 22:24:28 About 3 weeks ago, we had all thought Spring had sprung and warm temps, flower buds, chirping birds were all settling in to stay for awhile. At least we hoped, right? Last year, as new owners to this home, we were introduced to a little birdy. A killdeer. Not necessarily...
What To Make? 2007-04-12 17:01:15 Tomorrow, TGIF, is when our monthly neighborhood BUNKO group meets. It's so much fun and a great excuse to get together, eat too much, drink too much, stay out way too late and barely function the following day. However, this will not be the case for me this month because...
WFMW: Staying On Task As A WAHM 2007-04-11 16:04:57 I love the fact that I am able to be a WAHM ... though sometimes it has it's challenges. The girls think that just because I am here and they can see me ... that I'm able to play play play all day long. I WISH I could play play...

A Review: DERAILED 2007-04-13 14:40:00 My review of the very first Blockbuster Total Access movie I received: GO RENT IT! Better yet, BUY IT... I did! It was awesome. If you haven't seen this movie yet, you should. And when you do, come back here and tell me what you thought of it. That's it...
The Way Children See Things ... 2007-04-17 15:31:32 These came in an email from my mom and I got a chuckle out of a few of them and decided to share with you. NUDITYI was driving with my three young children one warm summer evening when a Woman in the convertible ahead of us stood up and waved.... Read more:Children
What Did I Make? 2007-04-16 15:41:11 Many of you sent me email over the weekend asking which one of your mouth watering ideas I decided to make and bring to Bunko on Friday. I must say, it was a very hard decision ... and the choice I made was ...Yeah, it didn't really prove to be...
What's Worse? 2007-04-19 15:17:48 What's worse than a little munchkin climbing the gate on her bedroom door so she can tiptoe into my room at 6am to tell me the sun is shining and we should GET UP AND PLAY since it's such a beautiful day? 2 Little Munchkins!!! I need a higher gate....
Who Knew? 2007-04-18 14:13:00 Lately it's been a real battle to comb through Emily's hair after her nightly swim in the tub. We've tried all that spray in detangler crap and nothing works. Nothing. Though she loves her 20 minute bath, she screams bloody murder all the way through the 7.23 minutes it takes...
Feel The Love ... 2007-04-20 15:57:25 For about a week now I've been checking in on a fellow blogger and mother that had to have the experience of being told she was living with a brain tumor. I do not know her. Her blog was not one I read before this tragic event struck their family...
Can it get any worse? 2007-04-19 21:15:37 Okay ... I started my day asking, What's Worse? ... and here I am a few hours later wondering if it can get any worse? My day has been hell and I'm still having to endure at least another 6 hours before the girls will even think of going to...
My Favorite Day! 2007-04-23 15:36:55 Today is my favorite day of the year. No, not the date, April 23 ... that holds no significance to me. It's Monday, and I don't normally like anything about Monday's, but today is different. So, why would today be a favorite of mine? This morning was the first of... Read more:Favorite
All For Nothin' 2007-04-27 16:42:00 Addition to my earlier post: This morning as we were sitting at the breakfast table. Jake: I am so mad that we didn't have our game last night! Me: Me too! Jake: You know how I can't hit the baseball very well? Me: Yeah. Jake: I drank ALL my milk...
Take Me Out To The ... 2007-04-27 14:09:00 ball game??? Yeah. What's that? Sorry, I can't tell you about Jake's first baseball game ... because we DIDN'T HAVE IT!!! Mother nature is really pissin' me off. There are so many things we look forward to. Most are not all that important, but some are. To us! One of...
Move Over Martha ... **UPDATED** 2007-04-26 17:03:42 I'm feelin' creative. LOL! Well, actually it's not ME actually being creative ... it's Family Fun Magazine, but none-the-less, I READ the magazine and did all the work, right? Does that mean I can take credit for it? On Tuesday, our playgroup met here at our house to help Molly... Read more:Martha

I Have To Escape ... 2007-04-25 16:39:15 It's 9:40 am and my head is about to explode. Like, quite literally I think! I couldn't sleep all night, so I plopped on the couch and watched TV infomercials (sp?). The boys did not go off to school nicely. The girls got up early and have managed to spend... Read more:Escape

Sick Girls Update ... 2007-05-01 14:50:10 There is really no update to give on Molly. That little girl is a trooper. Diagnosed with pneumonia and you'd never even know it. Kids are so resilient, aren't they? I am still in the hospital with Emily. We had restless night, to say the least. Good news, her vomiting... Read more:Girls

The Sick House ... 2007-05-01 00:05:50 I don't feel like writing. Frustrated and tired are the only things I feel right now. Complaining seems to be all I ever do anymore ... and I hate complainers. Molly has pneumonia, but is acting fine. Emily is in the hospital and has been since yesterday morning. 104.4 100... Read more:House
I'm Being Interviewed ... 2007-05-04 14:14:00 I agreed to participate in a little meme making it's way around bloggerville and be interviewed by Green3. She asked me the following questions: 1. If you won the lottery today, what would you do tomorrow? Quit my job! Oh wait. Shoot ... I can't do that, can I? I'm...
So Versatile ... 2007-05-03 14:22:00 Uses for a particular item that I found hilarious from the very beginning! 1. Protects my oldest son from being injured by a wild pitch. 2. Protects my oldest son from my youngest son who may kick him somewhere he shouldn't, for no apparent reason except to see if he... Read more:Versatile
Home Sweet Home ... 2007-05-02 16:01:47 I'm sorry to say that Emily was not as happy to be home as we were to have her home, but ... she is HOME none-the-less.

Another Reason ... 2007-05-09 19:07:00 to love warm weather .... Imagine my surprise when I entered the laundry room and the hamper isn't full enough for the light and dark loads that I should be doing today. My laundry load sizes are about half the size because the items consist of shorts and t-shirts, rather... Read more:Reason
