Is there a curse on my house?  I have a broken dishwasher, (yes, I am still washing dishes by hand), a leak in my disposal, an entryway that needs new windows, and now our television went bust. Lance came home ready to watch Sunday night’s football game only to find that the television wasn’t working. […]

I’m reading this book called The 10 Habits of Happy Mothers.  I was pretty wary of the book.  It’s what I would consider a self help book.  Not me.  Plus, I’m happy.  Most of the time.  A title like this just screams pathetic to me. I was wrong. I have to admit that I’m really […]

Jenn came over today to help with the ornaments, and now they are done! Some are better than others.  I have to mail all of the ornaments, and then the organizer sends the entire collection back to me.  I hope I don’t get a crappy one back. I have a massive burn on my hand […]

I couldn’t be happier with my kids’ love for Snoopy.  And I promise these aren’t set up pictures.  This really is how they sleep. Until they end up in my room.  And funny thing, Snoopy comes too.

I got a huge does of humility last weekend.  Not going to divulge details, but it was a big eye opener for me.  I learned something about myself in the process.  I always knew I had a problem with humility, I just didn’t realize how big.  Now to apply the lesson. Why didn’t anyone tell […]

Since Squirt is busy writing “thank you” cards for his birthday gifts, it got me thinking about thank you cards in this day of texting and emails.  (For the record, mom and dad, Squirt thanked you in person, so no formal thank you cards this time.) Is it tacky to text someone a thank you?  […]

I swear…my orthodontist hung up on me today.  I am not kidding. This is the same person I talked about a couple of months ago that cancelled Squirt’s appointment because he needed a solo appointment.  (SUPER CREEPY.)  I know my parents were proud that I refused to allow Squirt to attend any appointment like that […]

Seriously, my baby has cried most of her waking hours today.  I’ve held her pretty much nonstop, which is fine until it’s time to cook.  Finally, at her last feeding, I decided to research how many ounces she should be eating.  Despite the fact that all babies are different, I thought I’d find a real […]

Well, we finally broke down. After all the babies and storing excess breast milk in freezers all over the city of Houston, we purchased a freezer. Just what I always wanted…to spend $700 on a freezer after all our recent medical bills (right now totaling a mere $6000, and counting since we are still waiting […]

I may have traded in my obsession for buying books for our children’s library to something completely different. Girl’s clothing. To be exact clothing sized 3 -6 months. I literally can’t stop myself. I went to the Galleria today with four kids just to pick up some tights and ended up with four more outfits. […]
