While sorting through the last mountain of paperwork on my dining room table I rip up a few things into a trashcan beside me. Aaron: "Are you switching to T-Mobile?" Me: "No. Why?" Aaron: "Well people that do get to make that sound." (Tearing up higher bills...I'm guessing he's referring to an advertisement???) Sir...you're six. [...]
Now this is something the kids would love!
Thursday Evening... 6:16 Left work. Daycare closes at 6:30....speeding...speeding... 6:29 Sprint into daycare. Manager says the boys are still in the afterschool clubhouse. Sprint outside and barge into the clubhouse. 6:31 Every employee that works for the daycare is sitting down waiting for their staff meeting to begin. 6:32 Aaron is throwing a temper tantrum [...]
I wrote a post a few months ago about Batman. Batman is awful! I really don't like him but this new Lego Batman movie coming out in 2017 looks decent. What do you think? Are you going to bring your little superhero fans out to see it?

Isaiah: "Here comes Thomas Jefferson...OOOOOO...he hits a 3-pointer!" Me: "ummm...Thomas Jefferson?" Isaiah: "You know...the one who always hits the jump shots." Me: "You mean [...]
I am the only girl in the house. I have my husband, a 6yr old, and a 3 yr old. My boys can drive me absolutely INSANE but at the same time they make me laugh each and every day. The things my boys say and do are hilarious. The things they make me say [...]
When I became a mother I viewed things much differently. Every male child my son's age or younger somehow became mine. Well, at least in the movies or on TV. If the character hurt I felt as if it was my own child and it broke my heart. I distinctly remember standing in my son's [...]
Driving to the mall this afternoon I was listening to an audio book.
