Who is important NOW?

April 29, 2009

It appears that my three boys are extremely important. So important that they can’t be bothered to stop their important work for something non-important…like going to the restroom. They play chicken with their bladders to a point that it makes me have empathetic contractions. It starts out slowly with a subtle groin hold. Do you [...]

Toddlerphrenia

April 28, 2009

Rhett’s recent victory in kicking the binky habit has resulted in an unmasking of the underlying disorder for which he was self-medicating. Toddlerphrenia.

Yawn… *stretch* I am back, but a bit bored of potluck. In fact, a potluck sounds really gross right now. Let’s forget potluck entirely and just go get some coffee and donuts. Mmmm…donuts. Wow. I am feeling better already. You know what would make this even better? Bacon. Yep. No, not fake bacon! Side note: [...]

Just 11 more to go

April 15, 2009

I have mentioned a few hundred times that Rhett(3) has had a bit of an addiction. He could be the poster boy for Pacifiers Anonymous (PA). It started out so innocently…he cried and we needed a quick fix of peace and quiet so the binky pushing began. Unlike the other boys, he actually took to [...]
