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 [...]

WARNING: If you have a weak stomach or prefer not to read about vomit, then don’t read this post. If, on the other hand you are a Mom and deal with this all the time & you’re not a man that will gag at the first sign of anything remotely gross, then please continue reading [...]

I’m playing the single mom this week or better known as these kids are going to kill me and it’s only Tuesday
The husband and I do a fairly decent job of dividing up tasks related to the children. Well, all tasks if you get right down to it. So when he has to go out of town for any reason & for any length of time it throws the whole system out of whack. It’s not just me that feels [...]

She’s my second child
Would that explain a few things? Like the fact that she always looks like a raga-muffin child. Yes, on occasion, I let her pick out the clothes she wants to wear; I’m tired of arguing with her. I think I might have finally learned how to pick my battles…. Please see the following: Example A: Me- You [...]

Proof that I’ve lost my mind – part three
And now on to another installment of the birthday sleepover party story…. After the presents and cake we went back outside for the Starry Night search. Another web search game… great in theory but not so great in practicality. You’re supposed to hide the glow in the dark stars all over the yard then have [...]

Proof that I’ve lost my mind – part two
Well, we had Honey bunny’s birthday sleepover party this weekend. I think I have finally recovered enough to talk about the “experience”. Let me start by saying that I underestimated the amount of energy that would be necessary for this event. Both physical and psychological. Where to begin? I’ll start from the beginning of the [...]

OK kids, it’s Mommy’s turn for a temper tantrum
Yes, it’s true. I’m sorry to have to say it but I had a temper tantrum last week. I just couldn’t take it any more. I reached my limit. I was physically, mentally, emotionally unable to control my temper. Why? I wish I knew. I’ve been asking myself that question constantly. I suppose I could chalk it [...]

This morning it was up to 101.8 ~and that’s not a radio station~ time to break out the Motrin…. The husband [...]

Thinking about being pregnant
For some extremely bizarre reason I’ve been thinking about being pregnant. Why? I have no idea! I really have no desire to have any more children. (See my previous post). We have been blessed with two super girls and are happy with our family as it is. Not forgetting to mention that the husband had the big V, so if [...]
