Grant’s video game privileges were taken away yesterday. They mean a lot to him. (In fact, video game deprivation was the way we got him potty trained – took about a day and half.) He was pretty unhappy about the situation. So yesterday evening I was getting ready to go to the second of three […]
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 […]
But I want it.

Please boys, please eat more fiber.
If it rains on your wedding day, it’s considered good luck. If a bird poops on you, it’s considered good luck. (what-ev) Now tell me: Is it good luck or bad luck to christen a new home with an overflowing toilet?
Which box has my brain?
The wallpaper has been removed, the paint is dry, the majority of the furniture has been moved in. Now I have some questions: How can one move into a house with the same floorplan and have the furniture seem too big? Did the cable guy lie to me when he said “Listen lady, if you […]
This can’t be comfortable…
I’ve heard of getting up on the wrong side of the bed, but I’ve never heard of sleeping on the wrong side of the bed….

What are they teaching kids in school these days?! If there was a requirement to cover your textbooks when I was in school, we used brown grocery bags to do it. Nowadays, you can just buy these nylon stretchy book-covers that are ready to go. Because we’re in the middle of moving, I’m grateful for […]
Well how do they make sno-cones then?
We have a good friend who is a police officer. From time to time we hear funny “on the job” stories. This is definitely my favorite:Once he was part of a team serving a search warrant for drugs in a house. As part of that drug search, pretty much every stone is overturned during the […]
What’s next? Midnight margaritas?!
So we’re moving. I have been up to my eyeballs in wallpaper stripper and paint cans at the new house. It is only 6 blocks from the old house, so I’ve also been running back and forth between the houses, dealing with kids, packing, organizing school supplies, etc. And, since the big guys went back […]
Have some candy! Watch out for the poop, though.
Rich and I grew up in Norco, California. Norco is a great place to be from. When my parents moved us there in 1978 it was because my Mom was going through an equestrian phase and Norco prides itself on being “Horse Town, USA”. By city ordinance, there are no sidewalks in Norco. Only horse […]
