I forget why, but the word equal came up in conversation at dinner the other night. Not equal as in 2+2 = 4, but equal as in a peer; the same as; comparable to… Grant did not understand why the 2+2 = 4 version was being used in a conversation about people. We (“we” being […]
Legos have a soundtrack.
Yesterday, Grant was playing with his Legos in his room. He was making the typical little boys noises: vroom, pow, crash, etc. Then those noises gave way to singing. Not just any singing. Singing that lets momma know that big brothers have been playing SNL episodes on the DVR when Grant is around. Singing of […]
My mommy likes wine…
Scene: Our kitchen cleaning up after dinner. Braised short ribs with a wine reduction glaze. Handsome Hubby holds up the remaining glaze. HH: “Should I save this?” Me: “You can if you want to, but I don’t need it” HH: “How about I feed it to Corsa?” (the dog) Me: “No, that’s a bad idea. […]
Check out lane temptations.
I’m in the check out lane at the grocery store. I am in Busy-Mom-Mode: putting my items onto the little conveyor belt… getting my coupons in order… ignoring the 6 year old who has been starting each of his sentences with “Hey Mom! Can we get…..?!?” I have my back to him when I hear, […]
To briefly return to the top bunk issue….
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 […]
What makes you feel better when you’re sick…?
Grant got up this morning with a fever. I gave him children’s Advil and he went back to sleep for 4 hours. I know he’s feeling better now. He got up and asked me for some apple juice, cheerios and a Phillips head screwdriver.
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.
