After a rare, delicious dinner out at Taco Surf (the out is rare, not the delicious); the family was piled in the car coming home. A few blocks from the restaurant, a chorus of “eeeeewwwww” came from the back seats. Melodramatic coughing sounds and cries to roll down the windows. Boys…. That means farts are […]

How I ended up with my Dream Man. (And I only had to wait 20 years.)

Gratitude. I don’t often lead with that. Beyond my rants, raves and the thick layer of sarcasm, I really am a girl who counts her blessings… both big and small. I’m grateful for my children and all the trials, tribulations and joys that come with parenting. On that note, I am also very, very grateful […]

A spider by any other name is still just as creepy.

Rich is the Great Spider Killer in our house. He is my hero. Grant has the same aversion to spiders that I have, but Rich has tried to teach him that Daddy-Long-Legs spiders aren’t bad, and can actually be a bit helpful. So, if there is a Daddy-Long-Legs around, Rich tries to put it outside, […]

Follow that dad!

Much to his big brothers’ dismay, Grant has been watching Dora the Explorer, Go Diego Go, The Wonder Pets and Curious George lately. They frequently have episodes where the characters “track” an animal of some kind. Rich is also an avid outdoorsman and even has a book called Animal Tracks & Scat that was his […]

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 love the smell of Aqua Net in the morning…

We went to an 80’s themed birthday party last night. Lots and lots of prep work to get ready. My handsome hubby researched his Billy Idol ensemble as if it were part of a case he was working on… very diligent and thorough. Many looks were represented, but I think my friend Connie had the […]

Am I being Punk’d? So bad it’s funny… or at least it will be someday.

O creativity, creativity… wherefore art thou, creativity?

Grant spent the weekend at Gramma & Poppa’s house. In addition to serving waffles on demand, Gramma is cool because she likes boy things. Dinosaurs. Planes. Space shuttles. Science. (shut up shut up shut up. Yes. I am sexist. I think math and science are boy things. ew.) Anyhoo. Under the umbrella of science (both […]

No Scooby-Snacks for Conner.

February 12, 2009 Leave a Comment

Last night Conner informed me that the dogs had knocked over the dog food container and food was all over, and they ate it all. I got the distinct impression that we were now out of dog food. I called Rich and asked him to pick some more up on his way home. This morning, […]

February 14: National Oh Crap! I Need To Be Romantic Day.

Just in time for Valentine’s Day, Kay Jewelers and actress Jane Seymour have teamed up to sell a line of jewelry. Apparently, besides being a frontier medicine woman (which, I never ever watched, by the way) Ms. Seymour is an artist. Her “Open Hearts” collection is intended to send the message that “if your heart […]
