Can someone please tell me where this past year went?? Because it seems like yesterday that I brought tiny lil’ #6 home, but we just celebrated his first birthday this weekend. How does it all go by so fast?? At least it’s not just me. When I mentioned his birthday on Facebook (because as […]
Coffee, How I Love Thee
Tea drinkers, move along now. Because this is “cawfee tawk” time, a post in which I need to share my joy of java with ya’. Why dedicate a post to coffee? Because in attempting to answer the oh-so-frequent question of how I do what I do, my most common answer is: coffee. Lots and lots […]
How It’s Really Done!
I don’t know how she does it!! But somehow, she always finds a way. Just like this mom above…. LOVE YOU HONEY! -The Captain
How do you DO it?? Part 2
As I mentioned in my last post regarding organization, I wanted to give you a clear sense of how I/we do things here, before I continue to entertain you with all of the things that go wrong here. 🙂 In the last post, I shared some of the techniques that we use to keep a […]
How Do You DO It?? Part 1
As you know, I have lots of kids. And when people find out that I have six kids, I receive one of two responses: 1. “God BLESS you!” (This can either mean “Wow! That’s AWESOME!”, or “I really hope God DOES bless you, because you’ll need it.” 2. “How do you DO it??” I have […]
Watch This!
If I had a dime for every time someone told us to get cable, then… I’d be able to afford cable. I’m kidding. We actually DON’T have cable, but not for budgetary reasons. We decided just prior to having kids that we’d ditch the cable in order to avoid wasting excessive time watching TV. Six […]
My Funny Valentine…
Hi, everyone! Greetings from the free-for-all we call Winter Break! I figured I’d tell you about Valentine’s Day. I find it amusing that for THAT ONE DAY each year, you’re supposed to go all out for your significant other. Be thoughtful. Be romantic. Pick just right card, and just the right flowers. Or gift. Come […]
Wigging Out
Now you know from my last post that we were away for a weekend recently, but reality hit HARD when we got back. There was one thing we (read, “I”) had neglected to remember while luxuriating in the Jacuzzi… THE WIGWAM. Before I begin my rant, I WILL say that there is no one to […]
Gimme A Break!
Back in mid-January, The Captain and I celebrated our 14th wedding anniversary. How’d that happen?? It’s hard to imagine yourself having been married for 14 years when internally, you still feel like you’re about 22. But 14 years and a bajillion kids later, we’re still cute. The Captain & SixPack, circa 2000. Outside of the […]
I Was CONN-ed
Hi, everyone! Finally have a spare moment to post (spare as in: only while spooning baby food into tiny tot’s mouth), so here I am. It’s been quiet here lately. Quiet NOT as in, “oh boy, this is SO peaceful and relaxing!” No. Quiet as in, I’ve been going about my normal business of handling […]
