You’re the boss, Brandice

One…Two…Three…

Do you count to 3 when you’re trying to get your children to obey you? Someone was asking me this yesterday. I’ve tried this strategy…maybe twice since I’ve had children. Both times went exactly the same way.
“Clean your room!”
“We’re playing robots!”
“You need to clean your room”
“OK”
::5 minutes later::
“Clean. Your. Room.”
Everyone starts crying, “It’s not faaaaaiiiiirrrrr!”

This morning, I was so tired that I forgot to put coffee in the coffeemaker. Ben laughed at me, so I took the bigger cup of coffee. Obviously, I needed it more than him.

Yesterday, I realized that I will be 46 when Zoe is 18. That seems so weird to me. Not because that’s an old age, but because my mom was 39 when I was 18. When my mom was 46 I had 2 kids and another on the way. It just seems so strange.
Now, here is [...]

This video made me think of my grandmother. She passed away a few weeks ago, and I have missed her so much.
Years ago, her and my grandfather were in the kitchen eating ice cream. My grandmother started explaining to him that she was getting a piano for her music room. My [...]

See, the thing is, I don’t really feel like blogging. I don’t really feel like doing anything that requires any sort of thought process.
Also, I don’t want to tweet on twitter. I don’t want to catch up with anyone on Facebook or Myspace. I don’t want to do anything.
Aidan brought a spelling test home this [...]

This is better than Ice Cream.

As I write this, the most amazing thing is happening around me. Zoe, the best baby ever, is sleeping soundly in her bed. This might be a good time to mention that she went to sleep yesterday around 5PM and slept ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT. She woke up once in the middle of the night, [...]

When I moved to Vermont in 2001, my dad could not understand why I would want to surround myself with a bunch of Yankees. My dad also couldn’t understand why I wanted to have my babies in Vermont, because Alabama is “God’s Country.” I love the south and I love being a Southerner. I love [...]

Anyone interested in writing guest posts until I’m not crazy busy?
You can write about whatever you want…
1. Valentine’s Day… love it or hate it?
2. New Kids on The Block and why they shouldn’t still be called “New Kids”
3. Most embarassing moment…you can even submit it annonymously :)
And, I will tell you mine right now. Just [...]

Last night, my phone rang. I answered expecting to hear Laura’s voice, but instead it was a 7 year old voice. My niece Anne had called to ask Aidan about her 100th day at school. She had heard that Aidan got to dress up like someone who was 100 years old, and she wanted to [...]

Yeah…I’m famous.

I was asked by Tara over at The Cupcake Cafe to write a guest post for her blog, while she went on a trip. So, I did. Then a miracle happened, she actually posted it. I was just as surprised as you. The last time I wrote a guest post, they conveniently forgot about me.
So, [...]
