Serenity Now

By The Boss ⋅ March 5, 2009 ⋅ 2 comments

I wish I could walk into my bathroom, brush my teeth, or pee, or put on makeup without a person (or persons) under 4 foot tall feeling the need to accompany me. I mean, is that too much to ask? Sometimes I close the bathroom door, lock it, and slide the hot water heater up [...]

I finally got Andrew to “write” today. I don’t push it because he gets so angry with himself, when he can’t do things perfectly. Then that leads to a meltdown and NOTHING gets accomplished. It’s not something that I ignore, I just try to approach it from a different angle. It all started with a [...]

I’m off like a dirty shirt

Dude and Dudettes, I want you to know that I feel like crap. I want to blog but my brain will not function. Today I took Zoe to the doctor and we sat in a overcrowded waiting room filled with a bunch of other sick people, and one guy with an iPhone reading magazines to [...]

This is what I get for reading to my children

I was reading Aidan a version of the “Puss-In-Boots” story. I didn’t pre-read the story, I just started reading, and it went something like this… “ONCE UPON A TIME a miller died and left all he possessed to his three sons. But he only had these three things- his mill, his ahhhh, uhhhh…ummmm… ::whispers ass::, [...]

I’m getting really tired of having to name posts.

This morning, I loaded the kids in the car, buckled them in, and put the car in reverse. I put my foot on the gas pedal, and as the back tires of van touched the edge of my driveway, Andrew said, “Are we there yet?” “No! We’re not THERE yet!” Andrew is amazing. We don’t [...]

It takes me 15 minutes to get to, or from Aidan’s school. In our 15 minute car ride home today, she asked me the following questions: 1.”I missed you at nap time mommy. What does “missed” mean?” “It’s when you want to see someone.” 2. “Like I want to see Grandpa?” “Yes.” 3.”Where are Grandma [...]

It could be a long day.

Tonight is Friend Night. That is just a friendly reminder, in case friend Ben is reading. We changed the day this week, because my in-laws are coming in tomorrow night. So, he asked me to remind him, like I would EVER let him forget. So, I’ve reminded him by a text message, a tweet, gtalk, [...]

And the winner is…

I’ve been on twitter for a while now. I have a great many followers but, I feel it may have been a, “hey, you follow me, I follow you” type of thing. Plus, I have been following like 700 people, which it is impossible to keep up with 700 people on twitter. I’ve tried, but [...]

I’m Back. ::weeeeeeee::

Aidan has informed me that she needs another sister. “I’m serious mom, I need another baby sister.” “No.” Later that day… “Honey, did you hear that Aidan would like to have another baby sister?” “Is she planning on taking care of her?” “Daddy! I need a baby sister!” “What if the next one is a [...]

No TV for you!

Do you ever think about how TV advertising affects your children? Aidan is a sucker when it comes to advertising. There is a commercial about Bendaroos, have you seen this one? The “Magical wax building sticks” are for crafting, and “they never break!” Aidan tells me all the time that she needs those, because “they [...]
