Saturday morning: I discover that someone’s cat has either a) climbed onto the hood of my car and went pee pee in the vent area between the hood and the wiper blades; or, b) gone under the vehicle and done that gross cat spray thing. The net result? When I turn on the air or […]
Romance 101
I am a fairly romantic person. It’s the little things that mean the most. Write something sweet on a post-it-note and leave it in a surprising place for me and it will mean more to me than flowers and cards and jewelry. Seriously. Rich and I are pretty good at that. He’ll leave me notes […]
I’ll be here all week. Try the veal!
Mitch had his friend Geno over yesterday. They hung out all day, playing video games, playing with Legos, riding skateboards, etc… Basic 10 year old “guy” stuff. Geno stayed for dinner, where he proceeded to tell a joke. Here is the super-condensed version of his joke. I left out all of the “um“s, the “Oh […]
Weekend Wrap Up
Friday night over dinner Devin says, “Hey, did I tell you I joined 2 clubs at school?” Rich and I both said no he hadn’t told us, but we were happy to hear it. (We’re both firm believers in the If You’re Happy Socially, You’ll Do Well Academically principle.) “Which clubs did you join, Dev?” […]
Dear Overstock.com, You’re right. I am all about the O.
Hooray! My chairs arrived this morning. (Well 6 out of 8 anyway.) They are darker than I thought they’d be, but I think that actually works out a bit better as far as practicality. Ten reasons to use Scotchguard: 1. Conner 2. Grant 3. Conner 4. Mitchell 5. Conner 6. Conner 7. Conner 8. Devin […]
What dreams may come.
I sleep like the dead, so I did not hear Grant calling “Mom….?! Dad…..?!” at 2:00 in the morning. I did wake up around 5:00 and noticed Rich wasn’t next to me, but figured he had trouble sleeping and was on the couch watching some boring show on the history of poop or the scientific […]
“Each day is better than the next.” – Dom Wooginowski (kidding.)
Handsome Hubby and I celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary on Saturday. We were in the 6th grade together (although I don’t really remember him at all) and we began dating in High School. I was head over heels then he broke my heart and left me to carry a torch for him for 20 some […]
I don’t think I’ll see my cow until the boys finish puberty.
Watching our boys develop and mature, Rich and I have decided that, along with puberty, boys between the ages of 10 and 12 go through the Hama Hama stage. (rhymes with Obama…) We theorize that brains are working so quickly and randomly that the mouth cannot keep up… which accounts for the unintelligible, garbled speech […]
His father’s son.
This morning, as every morning, Grant came running out to find me. I love hearing the pad, pad, pad of his feet coming down the hallway. I love how he says, “Mom!” as if I’m some delightful surprise he wasn’t expecting. I love how he wants to climb in my lap and snuggle up and […]
Shampoo bottle avalanche? Not in my shower.
Dad Gone Mad is a blog I check every morning. The guy who writes it is really funny, and what I find interesting is that even though it is written from the male point of view, I find myself connecting with the Dad as much or more than I connect with the Mom. Case in […]
