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 […]

We already know it weighs more than she does.

A solid gold sculpture of Kate Moss? Worth 2.8 million? Think of its worth, had the crazy artist sculpted it from cocaine! And then it truly would be representative of Ms. Moss.

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 […]

Tonight’s secret ingredient is….!

Conner is getting braces. He got the brackets, spaces and a bite plate last week and has had trouble speaking and eating ever since. (Well, to be honest, he’s always had trouble speaking and eating, it’s just that now he has a good excuse.) I made pulled pork sandwiches for dinner. I warned that there […]

I will not make fun of my mother’s Hummel collection again. I will not make fun of my mother’s Hummel collection again. I will not make fun….

If you know someone who collects crap like this, perhaps you should consider ending the relationship. If you can’t end the relationship for some reason (for example, your grandma collects them) here are some alternative gift ideas, so that you don’t become an enabler: A feather duster A straight jacket A gift certificate to The […]

There’s a girl in my breakfast cereal.

My good friend Chris and her daughter, Lauren, spent the night at my house last night. Chris works nearby and needs to take Lauren to a dental appointment (wisdom teeth – bummer) this afternoon. It makes total sense that they spent the night because that way Chris has a 4 mile commute instead of a […]

Goodwill my ass.

Instead of Spring Cleaning, I’m doing End of Summer cleaning. Going through kids’ closets and seeing what can be passed down to another brother, what is for Goodwill, what’s only good enough for the rag bag, etc… I’m also clearing out just a lot of Stuff. Vases, picture frames, old linens, and things that I’m […]

Thanks anyway, but I’ll keep the termites.

There’s a fine line between uninformed and stupid.

My boys have KP every night after dinner. I cooked the dinner, they can clean up. Invariably, one of them finishes before everyone else and gets started on their share of the clean up. Rich and I have gotten tired of them interrupting our dinner (we actually try to enjoy our meal by chewing and […]

Please use your head. It’s that thing you’re supposed to be shampooing.

I cannot tell you who. I cannot tell you why. I certainly cannot tell you how. All I can tell you is that all of the bath toys and toothbrushes from the boys’ bathroom are currently going through an extra hot, super duper cycle in the dishwasher. And will probably be put through again, just […]
