I now know what the ticking sound was that was freaking Conner out the other night.… It was the sound of his imagination crashing into scary images and then melting into a puddle of gibbering I’m scared and I’m home alone goo. I can’t say as I blame him. This is what he was freaked […]
It’s hard to be a mean mom, but it’s worth it.
Ruben Navarrette, a columnist for the San-Diego Union Tribune, wrote an article about a growing sense of entitlement that much of the country has in general, but kids in particular. He is so right on with this! Kids do think that they are special, just because their parents tell them they are. Kids do think […]
I wanted to be a hall monitor in the 3rd grade. At 40? Not so much.
Grant just hurt himself running through the house (3rd time tonight.) “Stop running in the house!” “Stop running!” “Stop running!” “Grant! Stop running!” Grant runs by a chair and hits his foot on it. There is howling, crying, clutching of the foot…. I sit him down and remind him that the reason he bumped his […]
Transcripts from the last 3 minutes…
As I am fixing Grant his lunch… “Thank you that you’re making a sandwich.” “Good job making that sandwich.” “And you can pour milk.” “I like pudding. The brown pudding that’s over there.” (pointing to the fridge) “We have pudding on this planet.” “You can get the sun in your eyes and in your eyebrows.” […]
I’d like a Xanax Martini please.

That’s more like it!
He does have his good moments too! Nice job!

Nobody gets a shake until Mommy gets a margarita!
Overheard: What my children fear… “You better be careful or Mom will blog about you…” Devin my dear, this one’s for you. 7:30 pm, Monday night…. Mom: Devin, you have an orthodontic appointment tomorrow after school, so come straight home. Devin: Got it. 3:00 pm, Tuesday afternoon the phone rings… Mom: Hello? Devin: Mom! The […]
Focus? Who needs that?
This? This is not the face of T-Ball. This is the true face of T-Ball.
Funny, I don’t remember getting hit by a bus….
Conner just came home from school. He showed me a scrape on the back of his leg that looks like tire tracks. Conner: “I got another scrape on my leg.” Mom: “How did that happen?” Conner: “I don’t know. I don’t remember anyone, like, driving over my leg or anything.” Mom: “Well, that’s weird. Try […]
