Grant is not always the best behaved little kindergartner…. he’s a BOY. He wiggles. He talks out of turn. He doesn’t always follow directions. He runs with scissors. Typical 6 year old boy stuff. When I picked him up from school on Friday, I received a report from his teacher that he created quite a […]
‘Scuse me! Comin’ through!
The situation: I’m trying to get Grant to clean his room…Me: “Grant, it’s time to clean up your toys. I’ve been asking you to do it, and I MEAN IT! It’s time…. You can’t even walk in here!” Grant: (thoughtfully) “Well how about I just clear you a path…?”
God bless you. Now move on.
Scene: Our kitchen. I’m battling an unwilling kindergartener over a homework assignment. Me: Please do your homework. Grant: I need to sharpen my pencil first. Me: No you don’t, it’s fine. Grant: Look! It’s raining! Me: Yes. Please do your homework. Grant: When do I get video games back? Me: At the rate you’re going, […]
The boy has standards. (They’re low, but they’re standards.)
On Tuesday Devin came home from Spanish class telling us about a Christmas custom in Spain. Instead of hanging up stockings, Spaniards put out their shoes on Christmas Eve. The shoes are filled with treats. In class, everyone took their shoes and put them out in the hallway. A secret somebody then put a treat […]
Definitely a boy thing…
I would’ve thought it is more convenient to blow one’s nose into a kleenex and then toss the kleenex in the trash. Apparently, it is more convenient to pick one’s nose and wipe the contents onto the bathroom counter and mirror. I don’t understand due to the fact I have a vagina.

This morning we noticed that Someone had taken a pencil and written on the panes and trim around our sliding glass door. (Please click on the photo to more clearly see the artwork) Someone signed his name. When asked why he did this, Someone shrugged his shoulders and stated, “My brain is not very good.”
Can I wash someone’s mouth out with laundry soap…?
So, I’m doing laundry (shocker.) As I am transferring a load from the washer into the dryer, I see Devin’s hoody sweatshirt has a dirty, blackish stain on the back, near the bottom hem. I asked him what happened. He says, “I don’t know, I must have sat in something…” Conner, who is listening to […]
Surely, you can’t be serious. I am… And don’t call me Shirley.
Back to school week has been a busy one for everyone. Did anyone else run into ridiculousness while preparing for it? Let me share the good, the bad, and the cataclysmically stupid.. The Good: **I am uber-organized. School clothes and school supplies were purchased on sale and over the course of the summer. In fact, […]
Coming soon: The Good, The Bad, and The Stupid.
The boys are back in school. Grant is doing fine so far (Kindergarten is such a big deal) but I am shaking my head at my 7th and 11th graders. A post on that is coming soon. I’ll get that up as soon as I’m finished driving all over town to return PE shoes that […]
What would you do for a Klondike Bar?
Devin, my oldest son, is 16 years old. He’ll be 17 in August. He’s handsome, he’s smart, he’s funny, he’s sweet. But… He acts first and then asks questions later. He forgets his stuff all the time. He doesn’t use his head in social situations. He just plain ‘ole doesn’t use his head sometimes…. Yesterday […]
