My girls are sick. Katie has fever and a nasty, croup like, seal cough. Sarah has fever and diarrhea, and poor Megan has fever and a productive runny nose and cough. All on a day when they have school, I have work, and we all need to get out of this house. I was up all [...]
Today is my daughter, Sarah's, 3rd birthday! As a present to her, I booked her 3 year doctor's appointment, complete with flu shot. In my defense, it is hard to get appointments with her very popular Pediatrician, and Megan was due for her 15 month shots, and Katie needed her Flu shot, so it was [...]
I have made the very rational, not at all hyper spastic, life changing decision to never let my girls leave the house ever again. I don't have to, really. I can home school them, order all of the things I need for them - from clothes to groceries - online, and they can get plenty of [...]
My middle daughter's birthday is Monday. The 11th. She will be 3. I am knee deep in Dora plates, napkins, goody bags, and wrapping paper. Her birthday party is Saturday. A fiesta, if you will, including a bounce house, pinata, treasure hunt, and cotton candy machine. And tacos... chicken and beef. That I will make. [...]
I was watching the news this morning and a story aired about the likelihood of divorce in certain families. Another one of those "studies" where I wonder who "they" are, who "they" questioned and how "they" come up with the results. These things drive me NUTS! The newscaster reported that families where a girl is the oldest [...]
So tonight, scanning through my wonderful twitter followers, I come along a tweet titled "I need stories!"So I went to this wonderful site and found this:http://sandiegomomma.com/2010/10/04/promptuesday-124-where-do-you-go-now/#commentsBasically, she types a paragraph and you can use is at the beginning or end of your story. I decided to play along and used he paragraph as the opening [...]
Sarah peed on the carpet in my room today. Again. She does it every day. I don't know why. She admires the dogs I guess.Of course no one bothers to tell me that there is a puddle of pee slowly seeping into my 6 month old carpet, burrowing itself down to my waterproof pad, daring [...]
When Katie was 1 and Sarah was a very tiny pipsqueak, still sleeping 10 hours a day in her car seat, I had Katie enrolled in 'The Little Gym'. It was a great program, designed to clean out my pocketbook while also teaching Katie the basics of physical education. I loved it, she loved it. [...]
My husband has his performance review today. We hope it is good and that the fact that he is actively being "shopped" by two other companies will be reflected in his results. As I anxiously await the phone call telling me how much extra I will have to blow on something we probably don't need, [...]
I walked out of my room this morning, half asleep, two of my three children whining for some thing or another and step on something squishy. I'll give you two guesses. And a clue. Check the title of the post. How the heck did poop get in my hallway? Seriously, I am asking! Any clue?NO?Hmm [...]
I don't blog about my marriage. It was kind of an understanding we made back in the beginning. My husband read a few posts and thought he looked pretty bad, so he asked that I don't bring him in if I don't have to. I respect that and really try to keep him out. Try [...]
My children are all close in age. All three were born in less than 3 years. Despite other people's recommendation for psychotherapy, we did actually plan it. Yes, we knew how it happened. And yes, it took medical intervention for us to stop. But we wanted them all close together so that they would [...]
