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. [...]

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 [...]

Kasou taishou – dispute by rikofx 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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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, [...]

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 [...]

Note: I have 2 cousins who I will call K and H for this post. H is the older sister of K. :) Carry on. Saturday was Christmas with my moms family. Apparently one of my younger cousins, K, has been bitter all these years due to some remarks I made as a child and [...]

I quit.

I give up trying to clothe someone who will not keep their clothes on. Zion is at the kitchen table having a snack…and he’s naked. He likes it that way, and cares nothing for clothing. I care nothing for picking up his clothes that he has thrown around the house immediately after I put them [...]
