For the past two nights, Goose has gone to sleep with a book. It’s a reasonable sized book, not a true chapter book like we read together, but a book that would take two to three nights to read aloud. This morning, I caught him with the book and a flashlight. I didn’t start that […]

For Today…August 30, 2010 Outside my window…it’s raining. Baby Hulk started his weather calendar today, so drawing rain was a nice change, I suppose. The yard guys are cutting some trees and Baby Hulk is very concerned. I am listening…to Motion City Soundtrack, The Future Freaks Me Out. Over. And. Over. And. Over. I get […]

Another milestone was hit today in Casa Zierlein. And it wasn’t Goose screaming and crying in the dentist’s office. The ladies kept trying to explain away his tears, but I just didn’t care. I wasn’t embarrassed, (slightly annoyed, but not embarrassed). There are few things my kids can do to shame me. Did I want […]

School started today. And we made it. So far. We got up and ready in record time, I even managed to get my hair done on time. We left the house without rushing and were inside with ten minutes to spare. And then Goose decided he didn’t want me to leave. He didn’t talk to […]

For Today…Sunday, August 22, 2010 Outside my window…it’s dark and quiet. Summer is still going strong here in Houston, but school looms in the air. Tomorrow we wake up early and I can’t remember if it will be light or not, it’s been a long time since we woke up before 7 am. I am […]

Don’t you hate when people upload all their photos from an event, including the really sucky ones of you and then tag you? Thankfully, that hasn’t happened to me in a long time, but I was just FB stalking and saw the worst pictures of people and all I could think was that these people […]

I forgot the most important update for the week: I can feel the baby!! It always seems like I feel my babies super late in my pregnancies despite how many children I have had. So twenty weeks seems really early to me for feeling some movement. The boys were so sweet trying to “feel” the […]

Thank God for my baby! Lance has managed to get Snax back in the crib after two weeks of sleeping on a pallet. It was kind of cute how he would sleep on a pallet until he was walking the halls two hours past his bedtime. He also kept his brothers up during the night […]

School starts in one week and one day. I can’t believe how fast the summer flew. I am not ready for the boys to go to school. Squirt might be, but Goose isn’t at all. I’m trying to get in a little bit of mom school before he goes back, but there doesn’t seem to […]

Please explain how a doctor’s office has no problem making you wait for more than an hour without even an apology. I had to take Goose to the eye doctor yesterday for a recommended second opinion. I took him to TCH’s ophthalmology department having skipped them as my first choice when his eye was initially […]
