As I mentioned in my previous post, Bay has decided to take up volleyball. Well, last night was the first clinic. Between the 3rd to 6th grade classes, there had to have been almost 100 kids there.
And there, in the middle of it, were los tres amigos. There was only one other boy in one of the [...]

Momma’s Boy Don’t Wear Shoulder Pads
We live in a small town. A town where many of the people who grew up here stay here. Forever. And that can lead to quite the social hierarchy.
Rule #1 for acceptance: You must be related to half of the town.
It doesn’t take long to figure out who’s kin to who (half of my neighborhood consists of in-laws, [...]

Boys are Best! (Manuela Olten)
My boys and I love to read books together. Let’s face it, it’s pretty much the only time I can get them to snuggle up next to me, so I’ll read until I’m tongue tied. During our many trips to the bookstore or library, we inevitably spend half of our time in the children’s section on the [...]

The Mom, the School and the Soft Core Bear Porn
Now that the school year is in full swing, I am beginning to notice the influx of progress reports, counselor letters, sports sign-up sheets and PTA pleas. But I do not take these papers lightly. No, after a small incident last year, I learned to read the fine print carefully and to question every piece [...]

Wii are going through withdrawal
My family likes has an affinity for is addicted to video games.
At last tally I came to the mindnumbing realization that we play on Playstation, multiple Nintendo DS’s, the PSP (believe it or not, my husband thought that would make a great Mother’s Day present for me several years ago…it now sits on his nightstand, covered by CJ’s [...]

School Mornings…you gotta’ love them!
Okay, so I’m not doing such a good job of keeping up on the ol’ blog right now. Suffice it to say, the start of school has my head spinning.
I REALLY DISLIKE SCHOOL MORNINGS. Long gone are those lazy mornings of summer where we meander out of bed, maybe watch a cartoon or play with [...]

The Twilight Series (Meyer)- Why do I keep reading these???
I was killing some time on Facebook last month by sending an inordinate number of Flair to everyone I knew. Who knows why. I actually had a few moments to myself, and instead of doing something constructive such as, oh cleaning a bathroom that hadn’t seen a sponge in at least 2 weeks, I decided [...]

The Politically Incorrect Halloween
Tonight while my husband was getting the 4 year old ready for bed, the little one made a pronouncement (as the older one calls it). Keep in mind, precocious does not describe this child. Strong willed, obstinate, demented…these are pretty accurate. We think he is either going to grow up to be the next Stephen [...]

The Infamous School Supply List
Okay, it’s that time of year when all of the kiddos head back to school, but before doing so, they need to be outfitted with the proper gear. I’m not talking your typical lunch box (which no one uses anymore) and new pair of shoes. No, I’m talking about the dreaded school supply list.
If your [...]

My Sanity
‘Why would you write a blog? We are so ordinary,’ the hubby had asked me when I began considering this.
He obviously doesn’t read a lot of blogs. That, or he thinks that all of you bloggers have much more interesting lives than we do. Which is pretty sad, considering the other day I read a whole litany on [...]
