Highlights from what seemed to be the longest week in history. ::I didn’t get stuck in the rain on Monday.  Considering my normal routine, I have no idea how that happened.  I even kicked my cousin out of the house Monday so that I could leave in time to make a 9:30 class at the […]

So last week, I decided I was going to play with our dog in an effort to become a decent dog owner.  How has she repaid me?  By chewing through our fence three days in a row.  And then leaving our yard.  Because of course, not only does my dog chew through fences, she also […]

Lance had surgery yesterday to wipe out his acid reflux.  He’s been pretty miserable with the whole thing so I’m hoping this works.  It does make menu planning pretty easy for the next six weeks.  Can you say cheap and easy for the kids?  Sandwiches for me.  Maybe we’ll lose some weight around here. I […]

I’m outside watching the three youngest boys play a game in which Goose and Baby Hulk ride their scooters and No David throws a ball at them.  It’s not my favorite game, but the mom of four boys in me is trying to keep my mouth shut.  Boys have to be boys and while I […]

You’ve heard me brag about how I give my FULL attention to the kids and don’t talk on the phone when they are around.  I figured it out.  It has absolutely nothing to do with being a good mother, and everything to do with the fact that they are completely and utterly rude when I’m […]

I’m not sure what the biggest accomplishment of the week was: finishing the Ram ornaments- of course, there is a huge burn to contend with now. mailing three boxes today: one I’ve had since June, one a return which will bring me money and the above ornaments getting No David to wear underwear without accidents, […]

Fall starts today.  Yes!  Now for nicer weather.  Sure, we had a week of decent weather, but this week has been hot again.  I’m ready for jeans, pumpkin bread, different food, and no more upper 90 degree days.  The boys are cutting out leaves and decorating to celebrate the change in season. We went to […]

The Baby Hulk got his wish.  He moved up to the sick room also known as Mom’s room.  To make the case for the move, he puked all over the floor of my bedroom.  I feel bad, this child is generally the most emotional/needy and he has certainly wanted attention these past few days that […]

School starts in two days.  Two days.  Am not ready for that.  It’s coming at the worst possible time.  Lance doesn’t have time for me to be sad and upset. He’s starting a new job.  In five days.  I’m trying to decide which issue carries more weight right now: my sadness over school or his […]
