The Wrath of Bathtime
Giving my children a bath is no fun. I hate to admit it, but I donā?Tt enjoy it at all. It is definitely a chore in my house. I am so envious of those moms who delight in giving their children a bath. They look forward to it. It is one of their favorite bonding [...]
You Like Me, You Really Like Me…
It was a day like any other, filled with grocery shopping, kids, and ponderings on what to make for dinner. I came home from doing all three of those things, at once. My husband had a solemn look on his face and wanted to speak to me in the foyer, which I thought was weird [...]
The Great Imitator
So this morning, my son thought it would be fun to repeat every word I said as I was saying it. It was quite cute. He hung on a long time though. Longer than I ever did as a child. Iā?Tm telling you if this kid wasnā?Tt a boy, Iā?Td swear he was my clone. [...]
What The Hell Time Is It?
I hate daylight savings time. Let me repeat that, I HATE daylight savings time. Nope, I still do not feel better. I understand that people all across the US have been changing clocks their whole lives. Nevertheless, I happen to live in one of just three states who don’t observe the annoying practice. That is [...]
It’s a Bird, It’s a Plane…It’s That Webslinger Again!
Our little boys got a nice treat this weekend. Since it was our older son’s fall break, my husband took Friday off work, and we made plans to spend the day as a family. Our original plans were to enjoy the beautiful autumn sites at one of our beloved state parks. But since the weather [...]
Hello, Dali!
One of my assignments when I volunteered in my son’s kindergarten class the other day was to hang the children’s artwork above the chalkboard. The artwork had a Halloween theme. Basically the children cut out pumpkins that they made from orange construction paper and glued them to a piece of black construction paper. Then they [...]
The Bad Word Police
Watch your mouth folks, my kindergartener has turned into the bad word police. Good Lord, I can’t get away with anything anymore. Now don’t get me wrong, I am happy that my son recognizes what words are bad, and knows not to say them. However, I did not know the extent of the list of [...]
Would You Like Some Cheese With That Whine?
I must’ve been the biggest whiner when I was a kindergartener. It’s the only thing that can explain what I am going through with my 5 year old right now. It’s PAYBACK time!
“Mommy, can I have a cheese stick?”
“Not right now.”
“But mommy, why? Why can I not have a cheese stick?”
“Because dinner is almost ready.”
“But [...]Crayon + Dryer = Oh !@%$#%!!!
I hate to admit it, but this is the second time Crayola has literally left its mark on a load of my laundry. You think that I would have learned to check pockets the first time around. But oh no, my motto is that I don’t do pockets. If you leave it in there, chances [...]
Rumble In The Playroom
I was so impressed with the behavior of both of my sons at the birthday party for my 3 year old. We had a very small party for him. Only family members and our 7 year old neighbor attended. I thought my 5 year old was going to explode with jealousy when it came time [...]
