Wow! Where Does the Time Go?

You would think that I have all the time in the world lately.  I only work part-time (and most of it from home), I take care of the boys all day and see my husband when I can.  In the past week or two I feel like time has flown by.  I am constantly doing [...]

…Good Old Doctor’s Visits…

No one told Big Brother that along with a 4 year old birthday he would also have a excruciating visit to the doctor.  Apparantly they give one shot for each year…  Needless to say, he was not too happy by the end of the visit.  We got a coupon to eat free ice cream afterward [...]

Dear Big Brother,

Wow, you have grown so much over the past 4 years.  Today is very special because you have become one year older and one year wiser.  Your daddy and I love you and are so proud of the little man that you are becoming.  Just yesterday I received a complement on how well you behave [...]

Embarrassed Mommy…

Let me set this up for you…
I am exiting the sh*wer this morning and I hear my Baby Boy, who is on the bed with Daddy playing, fall off and hit the floor.  I, of course, immediately run out of the bathroom without getting fully clothed…
Big Brother:  “Why do those things bounce?”
Me: (groan)–as I go [...]

Updated my Neverending List of Things to Do:

I got one thing scratched off today!  I took the morning to clean out the boys rooms.  I got rid of 3 trashbags of stuff.  Some will be in the garage sale we will have in 2 years (you can laugh…it’s okay.  Yes, I am planning for a garage sale that will not happen for [...]

I’m in a Ugh Mood…

I was touchy yesterday…
I am touchy today…
I am grouchy and nothing seems to be going right.
Tonight?  Well, let me give you background info.  I keep a binder.  It has the menu written out for the boys for all meals each day and it is usually written out 2 weeks in advance.  Well, we are at [...]

I Need Advice From you Experienced Parents :)

Okay, so I am noticing that Big Brother is starting to tell white lies (in order to prevent himself from getting into trouble).  I am not quite sure when it is a lie and when he is telling the truth at this point.  They almost always involve Baby Boy (as in Baby Boy cries and [...]

To Try It or Not, That is the Question

I do believe this is the most interesting search term I have seen yet on my blog…
Some will want to do it try it and others will be mortified at the thought of trying it…
Personally, I’d just like to know where I can get it
 
 
 
Wait for it…

The Inevitable Climber

Our Baby Boy has learned to climb.
 
I caught him pulling a chair (red plastic cheapy kids chair) up to the sofa the other day.  He proceeded to stand on it and put his leg over the back of it onto the couch. (sigh)
 
One day I won’t be there.  He will get hurt.
 
I also caught him [...]

It Was Bound to Happen…

In the past 13 years we have never once bickered over money.  We’ve been married for 7 of those years and even this was not even an argument persay…but it was a “hiccup” and I think we have a solution.  Really it wasn’t so much as a fight as it was me getting really frustrated.  [...]

Sunday Morning Newspaper “Giddyness”

In the past few months I have become more aware of the savings that I can have by using coupons and shopping at CVS and Walgreens.  You know you have it bad when the thought that the sunday paper coming the next morning makes you “giddy.”  I actually get excited to go through it.  It’s [...]

Solution #2

Okay, as a followup to this post, I have gone through every post that I have every written that is public and have deleted pictures of the boys. (Let me know if you stumble across one–I would appreciate it).  I looked today and had another search about boys in their *nderw*ar.  It was probably innocent, [...]

I’m So Proud of My Big Boy…

He is learning how to clean and help me around the house.  It is SOOOOOOOOO nice!!!  For instance, I taught him how to fold towels, he puts away his folded clothes, he picks up his room, he picks everything off the floor (toywise) when it is time to vacuum, he takes his plates to the [...]

New Baby Boy Eating Antics…

Okay, so I ask…If he only wants to eat bananas when he has finished only the banana on his plate, do I just keep feeding him bananas????  I never had this dilemma with Big Brother…I could barely get him to eat fruit.  Baby Boy loves his fruit.  He threw a fit this morning.  I had [...]
