For Today~ October 12, 2009 Outside My Window…it is raining. I am waiting for some cool weather to arrive. I don’t think I can deal with another week like last week. After being in Chicago with 40 degree weather, I am more than ready for at least some cool air to arrive here. I am […]

It never ceases to amaze me how rude people at church are about children. If a child makes a peep, all heads turn. I often wonder how mankind has continued all these years with people’s attitudes about children. Tonight we had to attend what I refer to as the last chance Mass at 6 pm […]

I haven’t been blogging lately because we’ve been going nonstop. That and the fact that we are a house full of sick people. Sick Mom, Sick Baby, etc. etc. Lance and Squirt are the only healthy people in this house. I would not have made it this week without Lance helping me so much. I […]

I hate change. This could be the quote that defines my life. How sad is that? What’s worse is that my youngest kids seem to be following in my footsteps! Here at Casa Zierlein, we are trying to implement some new changes. No more pacifier for Baby Hulk. No more diapers for the Hulk, and […]

This morning started out great, then went downhill fast. I feel like we are always rushing in the morning. I’m not the timeliest person, but I do get my kids to school on time. (On time, but NOT EARLY.) I don’t want that to change so every second in the morning counts. I was feeling […]

Joan asked how my new attitude is going so far. I can honestly admit that yesterday was the first “good” day. What can I say, I’m a work in progress!

For Today~ September 22, 2009 Outside my window…It is raining so hard. This morning, my umbrella almost flew over when I had to walk Goose into school. I always walk him into school, but this morning, I admit that I tried to just drop him off in the carpool line. He would have none of […]

My husband just reminded me that I haven’t posted in a week and then informed me that I should be posting at least three times a week. He sounds like his editor at the Chronicle. When someone says that you are a “living nightmare”, do you take that as a compliment? Yes, that comment was […]

For Today- September 13, 2009 Outside My Window…It’s dark and it isn’t raining. Yesterday was Baby Hulk’s party, and it didn’t rain!!! I can’t explain how nervous I was about the rain. Despite the fact that I like things in perfect order ALL THE TIME, (and yes, with five boys in this house, I manage […]

It seems the golden one was so upset about not having Lucky Charms that he broke the window in his room. I kept hearing a tapping sound while I was working. Finally, he called and told me that he was ready to come out. When I went into his room, he told me that there […]
