I’m back from a short hiatus…my mother-in-law flew up for the weekend. I just dropped her off at the airport, and I’m feeling exhausted.
It’s not that my mother-in-law is high maintenance, she’s very accomidating. But I had to spend the weekend playing “perfect wife and mother.”
You know what I’m saying because everyone does it. But I’ll give [...]

Your landlord shows up at your door to check on your plumbing issues, and you’ve been taking a nap while the kids watch Blue Clues,
your not wearing a bra yet,
you have to say, “wait a minute while I clear a path”
he asks if the garbage men have been forgetting to pick up the trash(they really [...]
And on that note…

When Buster woke up this morning I conducted and interrogation, in a loving, rational manner of course. Buster is an interesting kid. He can tell you any line to any movie he’s seen once. I can’t listen to my rock music because he listens to the lyrics and asks me specifically what they mean. But [...]

Let me preface this by the title I see in my inbox…First I noticed his teacher’s name MISS SoandSo and then I see the title next to it…Buster Wrestling
Never a good sign, never. I must say my heart dropped a little because he also has some previous offenses. But I had to read on…
Hi (mother of Buster),

Yesterday something happened here in Seattle that is phenomenon this time of year…the sun came out.
Far be it from me to EVER let a sunny day in SEATTLE slip through my fingers. There is a reason they call it “The Emerald City,” if you’re lucky enough to be here when it shines, it’s the most beautiful city in [...]

Sad, but true. Can I blame my parents? My dad is just like me. We have the same build, skinny, and tall. I have his chicken legs and broad shoulders. And his sweet tooth. He’s the guy that eats pie for breakfast, and I tend to agree with him about that one. It’s the same [...]

I’m still eating the chocolate instead of real food. It’s a bad habit of mine. When junk food is around, instead of eating something nice and healthy I go for immediate gratification.
It’s time to take some drastic measures. I have to face the fact that my skinny jeans aren’t looking so hot on me right [...]
Mmmmhmm…

I’ve had a busy day. You know those days where the kids all seem to sense something is going on, like if they open their eyes they’ll see the balloons and candy momma left at the ends of their beds. How do they know that? So one by one, starting at 4:30 am, they awoke, and [...]

Don’t speak, don’t move a muscle…at this very moment Buster has initiated a game of rolling the ball to his younger siblings…Awww…these are the moments that make it all worth it.
And we’re back folks, to the normal routine of the day, catching the very same angel child Buster hitting his sweet dog with a bucket. [...]
