Hooray! My chairs arrived this morning. (Well 6 out of 8 anyway.) They are darker than I thought they’d be, but I think that actually works out a bit better as far as practicality. Ten reasons to use Scotchguard: 1. Conner 2. Grant 3. Conner 4. Mitchell 5. Conner 6. Conner 7. Conner 8. Devin […]

What dreams may come.
I sleep like the dead, so I did not hear Grant calling “Mom….?! Dad…..?!” at 2:00 in the morning. I did wake up around 5:00 and noticed Rich wasn’t next to me, but figured he had trouble sleeping and was on the couch watching some boring show on the history of poop or the scientific […]
“Each day is better than the next.” – Dom Wooginowski (kidding.)
Handsome Hubby and I celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary on Saturday. We were in the 6th grade together (although I don’t really remember him at all) and we began dating in High School. I was head over heels then he broke my heart and left me to carry a torch for him for 20 some […]
It’s not a Wii, it’s a Mii
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 […]
Give ’em an inch, they’ll take a mile.
I will definitely have to be more specific when I give Grant permission to take “one small toy” to bed with him. As you can see, he did indeed take a small toy into bed. However, it is connected to the video games… Turkey!
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….
