Someone is NOT happy with me
Better late than never… I say that because her b-day was last month. Ahem. And this photo was from the week of her party. I was “helping” my Little Pumpkin get the invitations ready for her 8th birthday party. But I got a bit ahead of her. This is what I get for trying to [...]

Elf on the shelf
You see this innocent looking elf sitting so benignly on the shelf? Yeah, it’s a huge thorn in my side! Why? You may ask. Because it is just ONE MORE THING I have to remember in the month of December in addition to the dozen birthdays and two dozen Christmas gifts I have to remember [...]

What? Wait?! What did you say?
So Christmas was last week, as I’m sure you all recall. Santa brought us a wii, wii fit & rock band ~all in all a great score of gifts as far as I’m concerned. There’s another story in there but I don’t have time to go into it all right now. Perhaps at another time. [...]
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream, or at least less arguing at bedtime
Bedtime is such a pleasant time in our household. Bwhahahahahaha. No, not really. It is, and I’m sure this comes as no surprise to you, a challenge. As it probably is in your household as well. I’m guessing. But I suppose I could be wrong. Maybe it’s a breeze for you. If it is, then [...]

In need of a laundry fairy? Yeah, me too!
I wish I could say, “Oh, HELLLL NO they diiin’t” But to be honest, this right here is pretty much how it is in my house. I’ll admit it is really funny, though. And probably how it is in every household in the world. OK, I’m sure it’s not that way in EVERY household in [...]

The third grader & the planet project

So busy I do not know whether I am coming or going
Yeah, hi! So I don’t know about you but I’ve been so swamped that I seriously don’t know which way is up. It seems like every single blessed day is jam packed with so much activity. And the last couple weeks were the worse, worst, worstest? Between getting ready to go to Las Vegas, coming [...]

Homework and the restless, whining, avoidance child
This is one of those, ‘I’m SO not prepared for this’ posts. I just want to bang my head on the table in frustration. She refuses to listen to my suggestions, argues with me about what the teacher wants, and just generally whines about the HORRIBLENESS of homework. Plus, she’s whining about being tired (avoidance). [...]
