I Don\'t Understand!
The Youngest came up to me a few minutes ago and graciously told me that I "could be his servant." That's funny, I thought I already was... Then he handed me a drum stick and told me that I could be a Slockin. "What is a Slockin?" I aske...
Goodbye
There are four less feet clicking on our floors today at my house. One less gentle loving friend to greet us at the door. It's heart breaking. Jette was 13.5 years old and suffered from hip and knee problems. Her body just could...
Moving Issues and Sweaters
Yikes! I just realized that I haven't mentioned yarn or knitting kinda stuff since October. Wow. Can you tell that I've had other stuff going on? My interests are wide and varied and I seem to have the attention span of a flea...
Does this happen at anyone else\'s house?
There's a young boy child that's racing around the house, buck naked and holding his underwear in his little hands. He's running and yelling "I'm naked!" as fast as he can while giggling maniacally. Of course, his elder brother is mortifi...
Happy Anniversary To Me!
Today's a big day around here. It's the first anniversary of my 39th birthday! Woohoo! At this point in my life, I have decreed that there will be no further birthdays, just anniversaries. I am stopping at 39. I want my...
Out of the Mouths of Babes
You all know that my Youngest is incredibly unpredictable and wild, right? I mean, remember THE picture? Well, he pulled another one on me and embarrassed me to death at WalMart. Here's how it went down: The Scene: Youngest ...
Tea Party Day
Today was Tea Party day at school for the Youngest. Everyone was encouraged to dress up and use their manners. All I could think was, Yeah good luck with the good manner part. I tried to get some cute pics. Most of them turned...
Happy Birthday Eldest!
Yesterday I spent the whole day telling the Eldest that it would be the last time he would get to do "whatever it was he was doing at the time" as an 8 year old and pretending to be really sad. Today he's acting like a peacock. It's officiall...
One Last Post for the Day
Today's my Big Baby Brother's 34th Birthday! Happy Bday Dude! He used to be really cute. The family's still not sure what happened to change that. ...
Sometimes You Just Get Lucky
Dinner time is always a challenge and never a pleasure in my house. Not one child likes what's on the menu unless the menu is either hot dogs or pasta with white sauce. It's always stressful for me and tonight was no exception. We had Fruit Sauced...
-
Do you ever feel that you waste time while knitting? If you are a process knitter, the immediate answer is no. But a product knitter, like me? That would be an unequivocal, yes. Especially when things don't go as planned, like this past week, on ...
Museum Day
Today was fun! Me, my Sis-In-Law and the boys took a trip to the Fernbank Museum in downtown Atlanta today to see the Dinosaur exhibit. The Youngest was particularly impressed. He's in to all things dinosaur or dragon, take your pick. They seem t...
Beach Countdown
The Countdown to the "Official Summer Beach Vacation" has begun.Every single morning I am informed by the Youngest that "we're going to the beach today." Time means nothing to a three year old, he's been told over and over that we leave Saturday. Th...
Fishing
We had a milestone in our family over the past weekend: The Youngest caught his first fish!Granted, it's tiny and you need a magnifying glass to see it in the pic, but it was still a fish. With his PawPaw pretty much controlling the pole, the You...
Panic at the Escalator
Obviously the summer months are not the optimum time for me to be blogging. I do apologize for going incommunicado for a whole week, but I am back now. There were many things that happened last week, such as a lake trip, trying not to kill my child...
Is It Wrong...
Perhaps it would be wrong to laugh at a kid while he's throwing a tantrum to watch a movie. But when the movie is Peter Pan and he's screaming "I Wanna Watch Pizza Pan!" ? Lemme tell ya, It's hard to keep a straight face when that happens. I'll have...
Spelling Bee
I had grand intentions of getting so much done today, I really did. But it just wasn't meant to be. I bet that I had six different things on the menu today. Oh well.What I did do was to attend the Second Grade Spelling Bee at the Eldest's school. Gue...
Today was mine for the victory, finally
There are some days that you can't win with children, but on other days, triumph worms it's way through.Most days around here, if the kids are in another room together, all I hear are fights, screams, crying or all of the above. They don't get along...
You're gonna love this one
You are not going to believe what happened to me today.I started a kitchen renovation project last year. It is still happening, albeit slowly. I tore off two layers of wallpaper and have put primer over the third layer of wallpaper. I left that la...
Child Rant
My day has totally sucked. The Youngest chose today to push every button on every adult that he could find. He told his teachers to "Shut-Up" and then refused to do anything that they told him to do. Can you guess how incredibly embarrassing it is...
Carrot-A-Rangs
Betcha didn't know that Batman has a Carrot-a-rang did ya? I'm not sure why he's having an obsession with Carrots right now and I'm not asking. If he's happy, playing quietly and not throwing tantrums, he can have all the carrots he wants to play wi...
Beware!
Beware taking a three year old with bad behavior to get professional family portraits done. I'm just sayin'...Another start-i-tus knitting project coming tomorrow!http://rpc.technorati.com/rpc/ping ...
So Guilty
What kind of a Mom forgets to go into her son's school and take cupcakes to celebrate his birthday? Um, that would be me. Here I was at home, enjoying the peace and quiet of having no children at home, knitting away in front of a movie. I didn't ev...
Elf On The Shelf!
Once upon a time, a dear friend of mine, Carol Aebersold, wrote a book. That book has now, after several year of very hard work on her part promoting it, hit the big time. I'm so proud of her and her daughter Chanda!I've been very remiss in not pl...
