Several months back I did a tutorial on my Family Rules project. My oldest son, my darling baby (who is about to turn 18) thought I was missing a few rules and added one of his own. Nice try, kid. Since we’ve been riding him like a pony about getting a summer job, this “rule” […]
How about a knuckle sandwich?
Scene: my kitchen. I have fixed Grant a grilled cheese sandwich, per his request, and am setting it in front of him…. Me: “Here ya go!” Grant: “Thank you.” Me: “You’re welcome.” Grant: “Uh, mom? Aren’t you forgetting to say something?” I quickly run through the mental transcript of our conversation… all seems OK to […]
One foot in the sugar bowl and one foot in a mud puddle…
So yesterday I was posting about what a funny little bruiser of a boy Grant is. However, he came home from school and asked me if I would like to hear a Mother’s Day song he is learning at school. Well of course I do! Who loves me every morning? Who loves me every night? […]
Yep. I have THAT kid.
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 […]
A 5 minute car ride lasts 5 minutes…. A bad word lasts forever.
The other week I was making one of my many trips up and down Los Al Blvd… running errands… picking up kids… dropping them off someplace else… (going back to the store to pick up the one thing that was actually on my shopping list, yet failed to get.) I was frustrated, for sure. However, […]
Are you smarter than a granola bar? (or) Does too much fiber affect the space time continuum?
I had to run into Target over the weekend to pick up a birthday gift for one of Grant’s little buddies. I figured since I was there, I should grab a few gallons of milk too. And a frozen pizza. Oooh, and paper towels. And some juice boxes… As I cruised down one of the […]
‘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…?”
At least I know what to make when The Queen comes for dinner.
My wonderful son Devin. So sweet. So handsome. So smart. Such a goofball…. Last night I made stuffed bell peppers for dinner. They’re fairly quick and easy, plus red bell peppers were on sale for 19 cents each this week and I had plenty to use up. Due to a meeting, Handsome Hubby couldn’t be […]
Today has been brought to you by the Letter S.
Scene: JoAnn Fabrics. I am making invitations and needed decorative paper. Grant: Look at all of these papers! What are these papers for? Me: They’re scrapbook papers. People use them to make scrapbooks, but I use them to make cards. Grant: Mom, you said a bad word. Me: (reviewing everything I had just said) No, […]
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, […]
