I was organizing digital pix and found this one from November 2005. Turkey!
I scream, you scream…
This did not end well.
Covering his bases.
I sent the boys and a friend to the movies today (keepin’ em busy) and I told them if they followed my directions (basically: be good) I’d take them for ice cream afterwards. When I picked them up I learned that in addition to the snack bags they smuggled into the theater, Conner and Erik […]
Because I’m too busy yelling at you.
I had Devin look at the hot dog picture below. He laughed. Then I noticed that he was scrolling down and reading the other posts. A little later I asked him: “So, Devin, did you read my blog?” “Yeah. It was funny……………. Mom?” “Yeah Dev?” “How come you’re not funny like that at home?”

I never thought “Leave your penis alone!” would make my Top Ten most used phrases….
Last night I tucked my sweet Grant in at bedtime. We read The Very Quiet Cricket, we chose which toy he would sleep with, we said prayers and I kissed him goodnight. I checked on him a little later, only to discover that Al Bundy was sleeping there instead.

Last week Rich and I were watching the Today show. Mitch was at the breakfast table. One of the news headlines was that Cyd Charisse had just passed away. Mitch: Who’s Cyd Charisse? Me: She was an old time actress who did a bit of everything – acting, singing, dancing… but a long time ago. […]
