**Originally posted March 15, 2011** This morning, the girls got me up pushing on my forehead – a habit that drives me mad – and started with a bang. Mommy, I need… Mommy, I want, Mommy, Mommy, Mommy. Gearing up for one of “those days”, I poured my tired, achy self onto my bedroom floor. Trudging [...]
I don’t believe in love. There… I said it. I don’t believe in the fairy tale ‘girl meets boy, they fall in love, boy asked her to marry him, they live happily ever after’ life that has been embedded into girl’s heads for generations. I might have at one time. A long time ago, possibly. [...]
**Originally published April 12, 2011** Yesterday was Monday. Tomorrow is Wednesday. But today is Tuesday. A day to get up, get going, and get things done. Right after I have some coffee. A day that all three kids are home – no preschool – and the laundry needs to have a dent made in it, [...]

Hello. My name is Lori… and I am a lazy parent. At least that is the perception filtering through a certain person right now. Amazing I even have live kids, really. I know, it is a shame. Its a travesty. My children would be so well rounded, behaved and well groomed if I would just [...]
Parenting is challenging. Challenging like trying to put my feet behind my head with three children on my lap challenging.
