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 […]
Monkey see. Monkey do.
Someone in our house watched Peter Jackson’s long, horrible, over-done version of King Kong. Someone in our house enjoyed it a little too much. Someone in our house pretended to be King Kong and tried to swing from the hook that holds his towel in the bathroom. Can you guess who that someone is?

“Oh oh! Mom!! My bite plate fell in the toilet! What do I do!?” I don’t even want to know how this happened. Thank goodness there is a sanitize cycle on the dishwasher. ew.
Why run if no one is chasing you?
I grounded Conner the other day. No phone, no light, no motor car – not a single luxury. I took away video games, TV and non-school related computer time. I don’t remember what he did, I just remember he had done it several times and I was fed up. He called yesterday after school. “Can […]
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?” […]
How much does a cubic foot of daily To-Do lists weigh?
I am a homework monitor. I am a paperwork organizer. I am a secretary. I am a chauffeur. I am a laundress, a seamstress, a maid. I am a cook and a waitress. That is what I am to my children. Not unexpected. I am a personal shopper. I am a secretary. I am a […]
I’m glad he likes my friends…
Grant has a crush. I’m talking a full on, must think about her all the time, infatuation with my friend Jodi C. I’m on the phone: “Are you talkin’ to Jodi?” We drive past a park: “I can go there with Jodi!” My phone rings: “Is that Jodi?” Out of the blue: “I think Jodi […]
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 […]
