Let’s see, I don’t even know where to begin. Today started out fairly normal, but quickly went downhill beginning with Ian playing with my perfume. This is something he has done on numerous occasions and even with multiple spankings and scoldings, closing my bedroom door, and even ‘getting down to his level to [...]

Little Blessings
Over the last few weeks, Michael & I have been debating something. The question has been “Do I go back to work? If so, do I go back full-time and make good money, or do I look for something part-time and make piddly, but extra money?” It’s a question that we’ve gone [...]

Ian’s Latest Trouble-Making Adventure

Playing Games
Lately, I’ve been wondering why it is that my son, and husband, have been so glued to the TV playing their new favorite game, Viva Pinata? Hubby purchased an Xbox 360 with the part of his Christmas bonus that he didn’t give to me, and, in turn, I purchased the game Viva Pinata [...]

The Virtual Coctail Party
I just came from Three Kid Circus where Jen had a virtual cocktail party and invited others to partake. I thought it might be fun to see what I could come up with, so here it goes:
1) I used to be a ballet dancer. I danced 16 hours a week up until [...]

Delirious Ramblings of a Single Mommy!
Well, with hubby gone, I’m learning what it means to be truly ‘on my own’ when it comes to doing anything with the kiddos! Getting out of the house, eating a meal, running an errand, giving baths, getting them to bed…these are all things that we (Michael & I) do as a team. [...]

Not Quite Back to Normal, but Close!
Well, our house is totally undecorated and all signs of the Christmas season are put away until next year! The only thing that remains are the gazillion gifts that the kids got that I haven’t found a home for yet This, in and of itself, is an amazing accomplishment for us. [...]
