Thursday, January 31st, 2008I drive my girls to school each morning as they chatter away over the background noise of a.m. radio. I’m used to hearing silly comments from the second row, so it barely registered when I heard Little Sis happily chirp, “Helloooo tasty muffin!” Not long after Miss Boo asked her, “Ewwww, what did you just […]
Super Mom to the Rescue!
Wednesday, January 30th, 2008At least once a week I fall behind in the Laundry Department. Exactly how it happens I don’t really know. One day I look into the hampers and see blessed nothingness. I check all known stash points (kids’ floors, B’s shelf in the closet) and leave emptyhanded. I am on top of my game. I […]
The Nuclear Option
Wednesday, January 30th, 2008Just as the name implies, I use this method only when absolutely necessary (like the times I’ve quickly washed a load of whites but didn’t have time to dry them because someone is waiting for a pair of clean socks.)
Desperate times call for desperate measures, and in this case the measure requires the use of […]
Happy F.R.O.G. Day!
Friday, January 25th, 2008Green is my most favorite-ist color in the whole wide world (but please don’t tell the other crayons in the box.) The Magic Minivan is hunter green. My bedroom walls are painted a beautiful smoky green. In case you hadn’t noticed, even my blog is green. So naturally I was more than happy to dress […]
Desperate and Serious
Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008Yesterday after school Miss Boo handed me a note she had written. It read as follows:
Study for the
States Qize
United States Level 1
Dear Mommy,
Can you go to www.sheppardsoftware.com? I need to study for it.
Please!
P. S. Mr. Martin sugjested it.
P. P. S. Pleeeeeeease.
I AM DESPRET FOR IT.
Okay, she’s a little dramatic. What can I say? The poor […]
Dinner is Ready When the Smoke Alarm Goes Off
Monday, January 21st, 2008In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. the girls had the day off from school. It was a cold, rainy, perfect Inside Day. We don’t get a lot of rain here so I look forward to days like this. We stayed comfy and cozy in our pajamas all day and spent the morning snuggled […]
The Year of the Horse
Monday, January 21st, 2008Chinese New Year is coming next month, and I read it will be the Year of the Rat. Not in our house. For us, it’s the Year of the Horse.
Miss Boo is absolutely, positively horse crazy. All her thoughts and dreams seem to revolve around horses. She draws them, reads about them, and pretends to […]
Taking the Scenic Route
Friday, January 18th, 2008Ugh. I woke up this morning feeling just plain awful. B was kind enough to take the kids to school and I had myself a nice little pity party. I had a lot to get accomplished and needed to snap out of it.
Since it was absolutely gorgeous outside I decided to take a drive by […]
The Prodigal Tooth
Thursday, January 17th, 2008This morning Miss Boo came running into our bathroom in a panic. Little Sis had pulled out a loose tooth while still in bed and then lost it somewhere under the covers. Both girls were searching frantically and wanted to know what would happen if they couldn’t find it. More specifically, they wanted to know […]
Great Job Daddy!
Wednesday, January 16th, 2008Little Sis is such a sweet girl with one of the biggest hearts I’ve ever known. She’s always full of encouraging words for others, but recently she outdid herself.
After the kids were in bed B showed me something Sissy made for him. She told him it was a certificate. It read: thac you for being […]
