Our money
We must have some special money over here… Zane picked up a quarter today and said, “Mom, look! It is a money wif a train on it. Oh, mommy, look! The udder side has Jesus Christ.”
That’s Crazy Talk
(An unposted thought from a couple days ago; now posted) I sometimes listen to myself, but maybe mostly I don’t. I have heard myself say some pretty crazy stuff! I mostly say, “I don’t care that I am trying to lose weight because I want to eat this not so delicious whatever-I am hungry.” But [...]
The dumping grounds
its late. I want to wear a mohawk! (I think I will) I procrastinate my bedtime when Tim is gone. Its like making myself so tired that I am asleep before my head hits the pillow. I took Zoe out of school today, surprised her. My reason: an appt. When she walked out I explained [...]
Humbling moments
Just when you think you are a good mom, it is time to re-think! I really thought that everything was under control. HA! Most of all, I noticed that I was able to get stuff done so I couldn’t complain about what was going on downstairs. Don’t they know the rules around here? I mean [...]
kayaking
This was our kayaking trip on Saturday. Zane was my captain (although a very grumpy one). He mostly wanted to complain about the little splashes of water and the sun in his eyes. He didn’t do his job of protecting me from the pirates at sea. Oh well… He may not have been a good [...]
Getting sleepy
We enjoyed a full day yesterday. It stared with a kayak trip down the river and thanks to Ben we had some good entertainment (he flipped his boat 2 times but I m sure it was just to cool off)! We kayaked for about an hour and a half and then headed out to brunch [...]
Ramblings from a little lonely lady
It was day 2 of Zane going to preschool. He woke at 8:40 and I briefly described our morning routine, “Zane, we need breakfast and a bath. Your backpack is ready to go-with a snack in it.” He got bright eyed and was easy breezy. I dropped him off and came back home. Now what? [...]
Zane suddenly grew up!
Today was Zane’s first day of preschool. I had a hard time saying good bye for real and leaving the little classroom. I had just enough time to dine with Gabrielle, return home for a potty break, look at the clock and realize that I needed to get back in the car to pick him [...]
cleanliness might be overrated
today I had the co-op here. I ended up with 6 kids under the age of 6 at my home. The housecleaners had just left as my first guest was arriving. It was all under control. Then, the toys started appearing. The buckets were dumped, blocks everywhere, pillows off the couch to make forts and [...]
A shopping adventure
ahhh… big sigh for this one. I put Zoe in charge-her first babysitting job. She was to babysit Zane, stay out of Tim’s way (he was working downstairs), and clean all the rooms in the house all for $1 if everybody was happy when I came home. BONUS: I would take them both to buy [...]
