Too Soon!
2011-08-28 13:57
I remember being in 3rd grade when I had my first boyfriend. His name, coincidentally, was also Wesley. He was a toe head with blue eyes who used to write me love notes that contained Michael Jackson lyrics. He remained my boyfriend until we moved, which was an eternity to an...
2 Down 1 To Go
2011-08-15 08:55
Ah...deafening silence. As much as I looked forward to today for...I don't know...the last 2 months, I was a little sad to see the kids go. The once never ending summer was over in a matter of minutes, it seemed. But now I sit here next to my toddler, who is by far the most...

That sound you hear is the collective sigh of relief from all the stay at home moms. It's finally August, which means school is right around the corner. It's been a long-very long- summer of cleaning up messes, refereeing fights, and entertaining the masses. There have been numerous...
Wouldn't Trade it for the World

Like probably every other mother, the Casey Anthony debaucle has got me thinking. I think we all can agree that regardless of whether or not she killed that baby (she did), the fact that she didn't notify anyone for a month and only did so AFTER her mother forced her to proves that she only...
My Kids' Dad is Better Than Yours

This weekend is Father's Day Weekend, and to celebrate, my husband took all 3 of my kids to the lake with his family. I was unable to go, because for the past month, I have been studying to get my Nursing Assistant certification (hence the lack of posts). I am now doing the Lab/Clinical...
Bring Out The Gimp

This whole leg thing has been a nightmare from start to finish. Unfortunately it has all been completely my fault. I broke the baby. I held her down so she could get x-rays. I confined her while she was getting her cast. And, I had the brilliant idea to take the...
Mothers' Day-Country Style

I have done nothing...nada...zilch today, and for once I don't feel guilty about it. It's my day to do whatever I want, right? The only thing I missed out on today is a nap. And at 4:45 in the afternoon, I'm still not ruling that out. Meanwhile, my kids entertained...
Even Charles Dickens Wasn't This Depressing

To update everyone, I ended up taking Sophie to the Orthopaedist on Friday. He didn't see anything on the x-ray but said that hairline fractures often don't show up. He didn't want to do an MRI, because wiggly toddlers don't do so well with those, so he felt it was best to treat it as a...
Confessions of a Clumsy Mother

Before I launch into this story, I must remind you that we had a pact that no matter what you read on here, you wouldn't report me to the authorities. Actually, it was more of a contract. I think you signed it in blood. It's legally binding...Please don't rat me out.

Grumpy Easter Everyone!

I'll start with the good. Yesterday was a lovely day. Nana and Papa came over, and I cooked a lunch complete with ham, potato salad, deviled eggs, baked beans, crescent rolls, and a strawberry pie. It was my first ham, and no one got food poisoning, so I consider it a...
