I’m going to rant for a moment.
I love checking out my WordPress stats. And I’m really interested in seeing how people have found my little blog. But good golly, I gotta’ tell ya’…there are some freaky people out there.
One of my earliest posts had the word ‘porn’ in the title. Soooo, you can imagine how [...]

And the award for worst dressed goes to…
Now that Bay is eight and has all of the refined tastes of Pigpen from Charlie Brown, we have a daily battle concerning wardrobe. I choose a nice shirt and shorts, and he promptly rejects them for being ‘too handsome.’
I don’t get it. It’s not as if I want to dress my kid in french cuffs and [...]

Let’s Get Organized
I don’t know what it is about this time of year…perhaps the cooler weather rejuvenates me a bit, or it’s the fact that we spend an increasing amount of time in the house, thus more time looking at all of the crapola we have accumulated over the year. But for me, with fall comes an incessant need [...]

The Emmys – What a waste of time
It’s been a long time since I’ve actually sat and watched an awards show. When I say sat and watched, what I really mean is…make sure they aren’t giving out any awards I want to see, then run into kitchen to prepare bedtime snack for boys. Run back to television, see that the incredibly lame [...]

Will he be packing pull-ups in his briefcase? (Sensory Processing and Potty Training)
Ah, potty training. Definitely one of my least favorite jobs in motherhood.
I really couldn’t complain with my first son. We tried when he turned two, but he wasn’t quite ready. We figured that out on the first day after having changed five pairs of underwear in two hours. Not to mention the countless cans of [...]

This just struck me funny
The roofers arrived about fifteen minutes ago to replace our hail-damaged roof. Not wanting to be stuck here all day, I decided I had better move my car out of the garage.
As I was pulling out, I noticed them getting water from the outside spigot and plugging an extension cord into the outlet. I was pretty excited [...]

Approaching the Age of Enlightenment (Discussing birthparents with an adopted child)
Our baby is growing up.
With the start of preschool, the continuation of potty training (oh, a subject for another day) and big boy conversations, I have had a realization of late. CJ is nearing an age where he is going to start noticing that he looks “different” from the rest of our family. And I’ll be [...]

It’s the little things…
Okay, I’m feeling all…happy. Yes, dare I say it? It’s been a good few days. And after last week, I needed this reprieve in a HUGE way.
So, here’s my list of simple stuff that made me smile:
1. I scored a Wii Fit on Saturday without even trying! I turned around and there it was in the video game case at Target. An [...]

My son must have been a Jewish mother in another life
My oldest son has a gift. A gift for guilt. No, he doesn’t experience it. He gives it…and gives it….and gives it.
Over the Labor Day weekend, while we were visiting with family and friends, Bay was desperately seeking my attention. And I was desperately seeking to have an adult conversation. Even if it meant that [...]

Somebody get me the fly swatter…I have the baby bug!
There is something going on around here. Everyone seems to be getting pregnant. (And by everyone, I mean at least 2 of my friends. )
If you have read this blog at all, you know that we have two handsome and active boys running the house. Now that CJ is four and on the verge of going [...]
