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. [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Tis the season

Yesterday, after my children asked me if they could wear their mittens and hats…inside, I thought I should check the thermostat to see what was up. It said it was 58, and the the thermostat was set for 65. I called my handy dandy brother-in-law, who’s a HVAC guy. He came over and then he [...]

A very random Monday

First of all, let me just say that I plan to remain in my pajamas the entire day. I may get dressed to go to Hobby Lobby today, but I am considering making the trip in my pajamas. Friday night was the Ugly Christmas Sweater party. If I decide not to be lazy today, I [...]
