Only three more days until Paris! Two more days until my mom comes! Wheeee.\ I spent a good portion of this morning cleaning out my fridge, in preparation of my mother’s arrival. The more I clean, the more dirty things there are. Grrrr. There are crannies and nooks in the fridge that I can’t get […]
My kids are really well behaved. YAY! But they do have some annoying traits. Let me share some with you, ok? OK!\ Max:\ He says, “Mommy?” I stop what I am doing and look at him, “Yes?” Then he doesn’t say anything for a minute. 60 seconds. Oy. Usually after the 15th second, I return […]
According to an article at CNN, if I got paid for being a good stay-at-home mom, I would be earning \$138,000. Woot!\ Only one more week until my mom comes to town to watch the kids while we’re in Paris. Whee. I am excited to see my mom. Still so much to do before our […]
Max, Brian, my dad and brother Steve all drove to Ohio last weekend for Tim’s birthday. We had a great time, and the boys were angels. I’m busy, but here are the photo sets: In the Backyard Birthday Party!\ I’ve got more to post on, but it’ll have to wait. I want to tell you […]
Kevin ended up taking Brian with him, so YAY!\ Yesterday I woke up early to help Kevin gather all of the stuff he needed for the trip and to see them off. After goofing off for a couple of hours, I took a nap. An 8 hour nap. I think I have proven that I […]
Yesterday I sweet talked Kevin into agreeing with me staying home while everyone else goes to Ohio. (By sweet talk I mean that I looked pathetic since my face was throbbing from my earlier dentist appointment and simply asked if he minded.) That would mean three glorious days home alone. I was so relieved and […]
Just a couple of more weeks until my mom comes to watch the boys. Here is more Brian Speak to help her communicate with him better (some of these I have already mentioned):\ Left= Go that way (he points to indicate which way).\ Go= Thank you or the correct usage of go.\ Frossies= Muffin.\ Wawa= […]
The most heartbreaking thing I’ve ever seen – a photo essay of a mother and son dealing with the horrors of childhood cancer. Don’t read it or look at it if you’re not somewhere you can have a good cry (seriously, unless you have an extremely cold heart or thick skin – you will).
Kevin comes home today-YAY! The house is a mess, but don’t tell Kevin, ok? I bet he’ll be too tired to notice anyway.\ For the past few days Brian has been asking for some birthday cake. In his cute little toddler voice he asks, “Birthday cake?” Then he takes a moment and adds, “Uncle Steve? […]
Extended Relief Midol, good for 12 hours. Kicks 8 hour Midol in the ass. Kevin for taking care of me, Max for being creative, Brian for saying Max as “Batty” I got to sleep in until 7:30 this morning- woot! We changed my mom’s ticket for free. The dental bill is the same as our […]
