May Mayhem
Are you feeling wiped out? May birthdays, Mother’s Day, dance recitals, skating shows, school musicals (fill in the blank), every single minute of the month has been scheduled with something. School is almost over and I CAN’T WAIT! No lunches to make, no early morning rushes, homework, or massive amounts of laundry – Hooray!
Enough of [...]
Blue Balls
You may know Blue Balls as IKEA. We call it “yem meaty balls in the big blue house store”. Of course we have shortened that name to Blue Balls. If you are not familiar with IKEA it is a Scandinavian home furnishings store with really low prices complete with a food mart that serves sweetish [...]
Show and Tell
A fellow skate mom sent these photos to me. She implied that figure skater’s feet pale in comparison to the feet shown below…I agree.
Stuck on the pot, but I learned a lot
Yep, it happens, even to you, and today it was my turn. Knowing all our windows were wide open with Claude and his mother right outside, it was out of the question to scream “I need toilet paper!” Plus my entire family was down stairs, and since they pretend to not hear me most of [...]
I Have a Fleet of Strollers
Baby gear, baby clothes, baby powder and baby stuff are all Big Girl Toys. And oh how I love them. I’m not ashamed to admit that half my desire for wanting my third chubby cherub was to once again be able to purchase all the Big Girl Toys I want, the other half was so [...]
Shameless
I was nominated for a Blogger’s Choice Award (what the?). No, I didn’t nominate myself, thanks for the confidence.
Let’s be honest – I can’t beat Dooce, and I shouldn’t beat (Confessions of a) Pioneer Woman. Really, just to be included in the top 50 would be nifty. So if you feel this blog is worth [...]
Thought Provoking
We have all been moved or inspired by something a child has said.
Travis: Wow, look at that lady’s finger nails! She is in the Guinness Book of World Records for the longest finger nails.
Me: ug, why are they not curly? I thought nails that long curled.
Sas: Why are they yellow?
Sessy: How does she wipe her [...]
Ice, Ice Baby
5:45 mornings at the ice arena bite. Sas has a lesson with her freestyle coach before school. Sas is not on the Olympic track, but don’t tell her that. She has a morning routine that would make Rocky Balboa proud, minus the raw eggs of course. It only takes her 10 minutes to get dressed [...]
SHHH, Don’t Make Eye Contact
My middle child is as honest as a saint on judgment day. She is painfully honest. Yesterday we celebrated Travis’ birthday. We had dinner on our back patio. As we were chatting and discussing desert options, the buzz of a lawn mower interrupted our conversations. It was good old Claude, and he caught Sessy’s attention.
“Oh [...]
A Weenie, Weenie, Weenie or a Bun Bun or Two.
I am not a fan of hot dogs. They are nauseating. But to contradict myself, I do on occasion crave a hot dog. The reasoning for this, I believe, is the yummy condiments. Ketchup and mustard truly is a match made in heaven. Yet this condiment theory cannot be deemed factual, because the results of [...]
