grrrrrrreat

March 30, 2010

Rhett got a new shirt.
He picked it out himself. He took it off the rack, held it to his chest and hugged it.
I looked down at the Tony the Tiger retro tee and immediately tried to come up with a plan of extraction.
Why do you like that shirt?
Because I LOVE his cereal.

He said it earnestly.
Extraction [...]

mock results

March 23, 2010

One of the things I have found the most surprising about motherhood is that…
Everything I previously mocked, I now do on a regular basis.

Before I had children of my own I would look at other people’s childrens’ birthday parties and just shake my head in knowing disbelief.
The fanfare.
The money.
The presents.
All over [...]

sneaking sleep

March 22, 2010

Rhett(4) has been a little sneaky lately.

He has been sneaking into my bed in the middle of the night very quietly.

I saw the Pajama Jean commercial:

Quite honestly, I couldn’t help myself.
I am weak.
The styling of your favorite jeans with the comfort of pajamas.
Pajama jeans are so comfortable you will want to sleep in them.
I like to sleep.
Just because you are busy doesn’t mean you can’t look sharp.
I am busy. I want to look sharp.
The secret [...]

I was super excited when Hoover invited me to go to Chicago for the International Home and Housewares show.
The show was huge. Beyond what I could imagine. I just downloaded 400+ pictures from my camera…a few which you might see in the next few weeks.
I want to thank Hoover for the incredible experience. Here is [...]
