“Surprise!”
“Surprise!”
“What did you do?”
“I made you polka dots mommy. Surprise!”
“Holy !@%$#%!!!!!!”
That was the conversation I had with my 4-year-old a few days ago. Oh, he surprised me all right, by redecorating every wall and floor downstairs with a collection of painted polka dots. Let’s start from the beginning…
For those of you that don’t […]This Could Happen To Your Child
I am writing this blog about a blood disorder that I’m pretty sure many of you don’t know about. I didn’t know anything about it until my second son’s recent diagnosis. It’s not very common, but doesn’t discriminate and can happen to anyone. My objective is to educate anyone who is unaware of this potentially […]
Here We Go Again
The Universe has spoken. Apparently it was tired of my fertility flip-flopping and made the decision for me. Yes, I am pregnant with baby #3. And it just so happens that I got rid of most of my baby stuff just last month. Fortunately, I have plenty of fertile friends and family members who are […]
I Have A Dream…
That more than twenty people will comment on this and all my blogs.
That I have a personal landscaper to take away all of my wrong decisions and the bug bites I obtain when making them.
That I am Samantha on Bewitched and can wiggle my nose and turn things around instantaneously.
That flies talk to each […]The Dirty Truth
The dirty truth is that my life is filled with poop. Dog poop, cat poop, boy poop, and baby girl poop. It’s an awful word; one that I never thought would be a main part of my vocab, let alone clean up 50 times a day. Nevertheless, somehow it has entrenched my life. So much […]
Adios Blockbuster!
Dear Blockbuster,
I am at the end of my rope with you. But really it’s not your fault. It’s not your fault that I’ve been too preoccupied to do the smart and simple thing and join Netflix. It’s not your fault that I continue to rent kid’s movies from you at $4.29 that are too scratched […]
Sex In The City Realizations
I recently stepped out of my reality and into the reality of four New York women. In my late twenties and early thirties, I faithfully watched their lives unfold and likened their single-girl experiences to my own. Four years later, not only has Carrie, Miranda, Samantha, and Charlotte’s lives changed, but also so has mine.
Let […]Attention: Bloodshed In Aisle Six
Since the birth of my daughter, I’m unable to do a lot of things with just my boys. When my husband is home I try and take advantage of alone time with me and them. They are both at an age now where it is much easier to take them places. Or so I thought, […]
The Upside of Mishap
Late last week I decided to take my sons swimming at my sister’s house. But before we could leave, my boys wanted to swing for a few minutes on our backyard swing set. Since they are getting older and bolder, they wanted me to push them a little higher than usual. Against my better judgment, […]
That’s What I Call Love
Love takes shape in many forms: in the form of words, gifts, looks, and actions. I personally prefer the form of action. Even though it is not my husband’s preferred method, sometimes he gets it right. I’ll explain, in a short-long kind of way…
Everyone has one or two things that just freak them out. I […]
