My Shitty Day
2009-10-22 19:38
I literally had a shitty day, as in it began and ended with poop. This morning while getting Sophie changed for school, I opened her diaper only to reveal a massive pile of what looked like mashed avocados. While wiping her, I inadvertantly knocked the diaper on...
Snug as a Bug
2009-10-20 21:00
For my upcoming birthday, my kids decided to get me the best present ever...The Snuggie. It just proves how well they know me, or that they are suckered in by infomercials as much as I am. This all came about because I am constantly draped in blankets, and have been since I...
That look
2009-10-17 19:44
Whenever I ask Victoria a question or to do something, she gives me this look. It's a blank stare with her mouth gaping open. It drives me insane, because she'll stare at me like that for several minutes, not breaking her gaze. I want to beat her in the face, but I...
It's About Time!

At Trevor and Victoria's school, they have an award called the Dynamic Dolphin. Every 2 weeks a kid in each class is awarded this when they're helpful, respectful, and courteous. I will be the first to admit that Trevor has his faults, but overall he is one of the most...
Today Crawling, Tomorrow Ruling the World

In the past few days, Sophie has begun blowing past milestones. She is trying to pull up on everything standing still, crawling, albeit only a few inches at a time, and eating regular food. We have to constantly make sure the floor is spotless because, true to her Capricorn goat...

I don't like to tout my own heroics, but yesterday I, all by my lonesome, took 3 kids to the doctor while suffering from a debilitating sinus infection, and there were no casualties. The girls were each due for shots, and Trevor was along for the ride since school was closed for the...

Dear Sophie:
You've officially been outside my belly as long as you were in it, which just shows how insanely quick time passes. You are now trying to pull up and crawl and are no longer content to just lie back and relax. To be honest, I grow more concerned the...
The Moment My Heart Melted
2009-10-05 19:33
Victoria: Trevor, now, can we be best friends?
Trevor: We already are.
Oh.My.God. That's so sweet, I can't even stand it. It was followed by a 5 minute argument over whether best friends' day actually exists, but I didn't even care. They have been sitting at the table for...
Party Time

October has always been my favorite month because the weather gets cooler, the leaves change, and both Halloween and my birthday fall in it. It's the start of many celebrations, so I was thrilled when I had an October baby. We had her...
Sweet Child Of Mine
2009-10-01 21:28
4 years ago, my water broke at 12:30 am. Welsey drove me to the hospital in the quiet darkness. The hospital was silent, except for the poor woman in the room next to me who'd gotten there too late to get the epidural. I remember Family Guy was on television. The...
