Last week, I told you that Grant got in trouble for getting up and playing on the top bunk bed. NOT allowed for the little monkey. (And also, it’s not his bed.) I warned him to stay off of it. Apparently, a warning didn’t do it for him, and he got back up there again…. […]
Stupid rhetorical questions bite me in the ass every single time.
Scene: Grant’s bedroom. His friend Jake is over to play. I hear banging noises, so I investigate. I find them both on the top bunk, with travel pillows around their necks. Grant is not allowed to get up on the top bunk. Me: “Grant! Get down right this instant! What are you doing up there!?” […]
Take my kid. Please.
OK. So I have THAT kid. It’ll pass. Right? Homework is a chore. He created a ruckus in kindergarten. He doesn’t listen. Grant has been “put on contract” with his 1st grade teacher. What that means is that he keeps being silly in class and disturbing others in the class. (Mainly his teacher.) A good […]
You know what’s embarrassing….?
You know what’s embarrassing? When you’re home sick and you’re being a couch potato…? Naw! That’s totally understandable. When you’ve blown your nose so many times that your nose is peeling and your upper lip is cracked and you look like a leper….?Naw! You’re sick. That happens. When you’re home sick and you are on […]
New year, new moon, new pajamas.
Happy New Year everyone! I’ve been busy hitting post-Christmas sales, but realize I need to get the kids some new clothes. Specifically, new PJ pants for Conner. His statement after his brother made a comment about his ripped PJs….? “My butt isn’t hanging out, it’s just showing.” oy.
IT’S A WONDERFUL (time to expose your little kid to Saturday Night Live at this time in his) LIFE.
This post contains Amazon or other affiliate links. Last night I was watching It’s A Wonderful Life. Such a fabulous movie! A Christmas tradition for many, many people. We also have a Christmas tradition in that we bust out the Saturday Night Live Christmas DVD along with other holiday favorites. Grant loves this SNL DVD. […]
Thank you for bacon.
Grant’s class party was last Friday. I was in the classroom, helping out, when I noticed the kids’ Thanksgiving artwork hanging overhead. I spied Grant’s: In case you can’t read this due to my terrible mobile picture or his phonetic spelling/lack of punctuation, please allow me to transcribe it for you… I am thankful for […]
NOT a well-planned joke.
Just like all of you, I’ve been baking and decorating and shopping and baking and wrapping and baking and… lots of baking. And lots of boys asking if said baked goods were ready to eat yet. Earlier this afternoon I was super-exhausted-I-need-a-nap-or-I’m-gonna-fall-over kind of tired. Just a quick power-nap. (Dear Earplugs and Dark Room, I […]
And then milk came out of my nose….
Scene: the dining room table. Conner is joking about possible names of his future children. (Let’s hope waaaaaaaay in the future…..) Since their last name is Brown, one would need to be careful about choosing a first name. Conner: “I’m going to name my kid Hash.” Me: “Ugh! Your father just about drove me crazy, […]
Twig and leaf fall centerpieces.
I love entertaining. I feel like a grown up now that we host Thanksgiving each year. I love any excuse to make new centerpieces or to try a new recipe. (I also appreciate the motivation to really clean the house…) This year, I have been loving sticks and branches. First of all, they’re free. Second, […]
