I was just talking to Karl on emails. (I’m working on a new blog design for him) and he said I do “plenty.”
I thought about that for a minute.
This morning, I got up, fed the kids, checked email, posted one celeb story, got dressed, dressed kids, took them to the Children’s Museum, got groceries, [...]

The other day I took both kids to the grocery store and it was fairly busy.  We were shopping for the ingredients for chili and I was kind of in a rush but knew Thomas would rather walk then ride in the cart so I took a deep breath and tried to relax about the [...]

“Mylie!  Stop! Licking! My! Hands!  You can’t EAT THEM!  My little hands won’t fit in your tummy.”
Then, muttering…  “Dumb dog.”

No, not me. Stop laughing.
I told you how Thomas has been boxing on the Wii lately? Well this morning we took a break from that to play on SuperWhy, a website that helped Erin’s young son learn to read.
In keeping with our learny day, as I made Thomas’ routine peanut butter sandwich for [...]

So it’s de-lurking day or something and I’ve commented on several blogs who are participating but whatever.
I know who’s here for the most part…I invited all yo’ asses – say something! Entertain me, circus monkeys! (Oh I kid.)
Okay, let me help you. Gosh, do I have to do EVERYTHING around here?
There are 3 [...]

“Why? What’s wrong with it?” I asked. (I actually wanted to see it because there’s been so much hype about it, although Danny’s infatuation with Vanessa Hudgens makes me laugh queasy.)
“They SING THROUGH THE WHOLE THING MOM!”
“Imagine that Dylan. [...]

Dylan’s 9th Birthday was yesterday. Every year I marvel at the fact that he grew yet again, and think back to the days when he was a mere football in Daddy’s arms, fragile with heart problems and a sweet, happy baby.
This morning Daren text messaged me from work to tell me that Dylan’s cardiologist [...]

 
For the last week or so, Thomas has been pretending my kid brother has been at our house (he’s 30, but still my kid brother). Every lunchtime, I’ve had to make an extra sandwich for Uncle Joel, making sure to cut it into triangles. Hey freeloader, you owe me $4 worth of peanut [...]

About 6 months ago, I dragged both kids to Build-A-Bear because Dylan had a Build-A-Bear and Thomas didn’t and I like things nice and even between them and won’t it be funny when Thomas is 10 and a half and I buy him a car that will have to sit in the driveway for 5 [...]
