You’re the boss, Brandice

I really should drink two cups of coffee before speaking

I was dragging this morning, I had a long night with one of the kids. While sipping my coffee, all of the sudden I remembered it was Father’s Day! It isn’t, but I don’t figure that out till later.

Three of my children crawled in my bed this morning. Zion discussed the need for his diaper to be changed. I explained to him that if he would just use the potty, we wouldn’t need to have this conversation. Andrew was curious where he came from, and who put him in my belly. I told [...]

This morning I sat on the couch, trying to rest my back and writing in my notebook. I told myself I would finish writing and jump in the shower before Zoe awoke from her nap. Then I proceeded in my Brandice ways and called Laura. Completely disregarding the plan I had just made in my [...]

In May, I got a speeding ticket. I was driving 60 in a 45. The Police Officer said, “Your court date is set for June 23. I can’t change that date for you, but if you call this number, they can extend it for you” I was a little bummed that I got a ticket, [...]

This is Aidan’s 3rd day out of school. This morning, she started the day with, “Mommy, I’m ready to go back to school. I’m not sure August 6th is going to come fast enough. She’s bored. So bored. So very very bored. I am just glad that I don’t have to load everyone in the [...]

The proof is on your face

When Zion has done something he wasn’t supposed to, he always leaves the evidence on his face. “Zion, have you been eating Raspberry Cream Cheese out of the container?” “Nope.” “Zion, how did you get that Raspberry Cream Cheese all over your face.” “Ummm…” “Have you been eating Raspberry Cream Cheese?” “Ummm…yeah.” Later on… “Zion [...]

Friday night, my niece Anne spent the night. She wrote a poem for us. I looked for it all weekend, and couldn’t find it. Then tonight, when I wasn’t looking, I found it. Yay. My Lines- by Anne age 7 Hello Darling, Mom said. And after, they went to bed. In the morning, the sun [...]

She tired.

This is possibly the first time I have relaxed in 4 days. It has been a whirlwind around here. Friday I ate lunch with Aidan at her school. This is always entertaining to me, because kindergartners talk A LOT and tell you everything. The trick is not to get whiplash from trying to keep up [...]
