Our Mall Outing. Oh Joy.

July 16, 2009

I took my four children to the mall today.  And yes.  I would like a round of applause thankyouverymuch.  I mean, I’m no Kate Gosselin, but still.  Four children.   To the mall.  C’mon.  You know that’s harrowing. We were in search of some school clothes.  I’m blessed in that Cassidy could care less what [...]

My Sister’s Keeper

July 6, 2009

I took my two oldest daughters to see My Sister’s Keeper at the movies today. Yes, I’d read the book (and subsequently sobbed my way through the ending mind you).  I’d also seen the previews.  And of course there was the fact that adorable little Abigail Breslin played a starring role; I loved her so [...]

Anatomy Lessons Courtesy of Jayce

May 29, 2009

There are plenty of reasons why I like to shop alone. 1. I don’t have to search for my children as they hide within the racks of clothing. 2. I’m free to take all the time I want in deciding between two shades of the same shirt. 3.  There are no strollers to impede my [...]

A Word To The Wise

February 4, 2009

I’m contemplating starting potty training with Jayce. He’ll be 2-and-a-half on the 14th. In preparation I purchased my very first package of baby boy boxer briefs.  They are a size 4 and I have to say that even the frilliest lace bottomed girl panties don’t compare with the cuteness factor of these things. I tried [...]

Finding Me

February 4, 2009

There was a fleeting moment today during which I second guessed God’s decision to give me four children.  It came to pass as I scrubbed a toilet.  My nine-year-old special needs daughter soaked nearby in the bathtub after a very messy accident left her, and the entire bathroom, in desperate need of my prompt and undivided attention. Equipped with my [...]

Unequipped and Ill-prepared

January 30, 2009

Torri had an after school dance today. Today’s after school dances are different from the middle school dances of yesteryear, seeing as how today’s versions take place, well, after school.  Back in the day it was a nighttime thing.  Not that I’m opposed to the after schoolness of Torri’s dances – sneaking past the chaperons [...]
