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 10 year statute of limitations, so The Captain can still remain anonymous. Not that he looks super-old now or anything. Because he looks fine, but different from here. That sounds worse, doesn’t it? Like I’m digging a bigger hole for myself? Oh… never mind.) Now despite the crushing busyness of our day to day lives,…

Snow Big Deal
It’s January. In the Northeast. Temperatures dropping. It was inevitable that, eventually, we’d get it. You know. The S word. SNOW. Yup.

Since Thanksgiving, we’ve had a series of child illness- mainly in the form of a never-ending cold that swept through the younger set here. I’m talking endless- several trips to the pediatrician, too many boxes of Kleenex to count, oodles of nebulizer breathing treatments, saline drops, nose-boogie-sucking devices, etc. etc, So the few minutes of quote “mommy downtime” that would normally be devoted to posting dissolved like the fine mist of a… nebulizer treatment.

Birthday Boy
Another busy week… and another birthday in the family. Yup, we end up celebrating a birthday roughly every five seconds or so… Tuesday was #3’s- a.k.a. The Boy- 8th birthday. Ah, this guy. #3 is a sweet, kind little boy with a gentle heart and extreme love for his family. When asked what he wanted for his birthday, his response? “Oh, mom, you guys are so great and always get me nice things. You can me whatever you want.” *Heart melts* And he truly meant it, too. He’s the quiet guy, unless it comes to Wii games. Then, back away. Because you’re liable to get hit, either with a remote,…
