Summer vacation is in full swing around Momma’s house. Living in the midwest, our children get out of school at some crazy early date. Sometimes, it’s still too cool to head to the pool. But the zoo, park and library are always open and fantastic destinations when brotherly love turns to blood shed. The lazy [...]

Lost and Child Birth 101
We were watching Lost with the kiddies in the room the other night. Oh wait. I know what you are thinking. Not exactly Wow, Wow, Wubzie, but it’s either I interrupt my ME time (and we all know that’s not happening on Wednesday nights), put them to bed and miss some vital plot-developing moment, or [...]

Someone put me out of my misery…please
I think my head is going to explode.
No, really.
I caught my son’s plague cold, and now I can hardly think because my head is throbbing with each tap of a letter on the keyboard.
My brother has suggested that I try a sinus rinse for just such occasions. But when I try to picture myself sticking [...]

Hooray for National Adoption Day!!!
For those of you who aren’t aware, November 15th is National Adoption Day. Hundreds of families will celebrate with the finalization of their adoptions, making their families just that much more complete.
Four and a half years ago, my own family was blessed through adoption. I became a Momma to a beautiful baby boy when CJ [...]

Present – It’s a homophone
Yes, I know. Bad blogger. I’ve been away a long time. I just don’t know how most of you seem to find the time to update your blogs every day. Or even have something to say every day.
Our life has been filled with craziness. Sleepovers, trick-or-treating, school sports. Yikes.
But, Bay did break up the monotony [...]

Steep incline ahead
Tonight, CJ was playing Matchbox cars. On my back. I didn’t mind too much, at first. I was being lulled into a bit of a stupor by his mini-massage. But I was rudely awakened when he shouted out -
“Hey Mom, the car is going up the biiiiigggg hill.”
And I felt a small corvette kick it [...]

A conversation with God
On the way to soccer, CJ informed us that he saw Jesus last night.
The Hubby: Really? What did he say?
CJ: Hi
The Hubby: What did you say to Jesus?
CJ: I said ‘hi’ back.
The end.

Did I just hear you right?
Young master CJ is having a big day today. He is in big boy underwear. At preschool. Yup, you heard me right.
He has been wearing those underoos with a bit of success lately, so we are hoping that is a sign that the Sensory Processing Disorder is not going to win out here. For those [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
