It’s All Fun And Games Until Somebody Gets A Bald Spot… 2008-07-05 16:31:21 Yes, that is gum. Gum in Ken’s hair on a 90 degree day — and no, the kiddos aren’t the culprit. It was, ummmm… me. Wait! Let me explain! He started it. Well, kind of. Maybe we both did. I forget exactly — we get a little [...] Read more:Games

Because Moms Don’t Get Sick Days… 2008-07-21 23:11:48 “Why,” you ask, “does your family room look like the aftermath of a Toys ‘R’ Us fire sale?” Well I’ll tell you… I tried to call in sick, but they laughed at me. I pleaded with them. I begged. But they just laughed, then laughed some more.

Happy I Love You Day… 2008-07-15 23:12:28 A Not-So-Wordless Wednesday
I woke up this morning with something tickling my nose. Half awake, I swatted at it and immediately heard the crunch and crackle of paper followed by a little girl’s giggle. My eyes popped open in fear of who-knows-what sort of shenanigans being perpetrated against my person. Instead, I found myself pleasantly [...] Read more:Happy

Pollysaurus-Rex… 2008-08-08 23:10:21 This is what happens when little boys commandeer their sister’s Polly Pocket dolls…
Does Polly get to go shopping? Have a spa day? Go to a tea party?
Nope. She gets to stomp baby brother’s dinner to bits while growling, “RAAAAAHHHHRRR!!! SHTOMP! SHTOMP! SHTOMP! ME PAWY DA NINO-SHAR! RAAAAAHHHRRRR!”

The starting concept was nice, lovely in fact. Start dinner at 5 pm — get the kids to bed by 7 pm. Have an evening all to ourselves to just wind down and relax. Sounds really good, no? So how is it that I now find myself on the back side of [...]
