Granted, it’s October, but I think we’re finally beginning to nail down the school/activities/dinner/bedtime routine. So I’m sorry for the lag in postings, but there’s just too much crazy to not share…. plenty to come. Since our schedule has heated up considerably, alone time outside of the house’s perimeter is preciously few and far in […]
Summer’s Over… Bummer! 10 Reasons I’ll Miss It
It’s 11:30pm, and the clock is ticking. It’s winding down now; summer is dwindling fast. In fact, in mere hours, summer is officially over for my crew, & we usher in the new school year. It’s been a whirlwind of labeling supplies, packing bags, ironing clothes, finding shoes, setting alarm clocks, etc. And in the […]
Family Vacay-Shun
The idea of writing a post regarding family vacations was spurred on by an email I received from The Steve Harvey Show; they are sponsoring a Family Bucket List contest in order to treat an adventurous, deserving family to the vacation adventure of their dreams. Before discussing my thoughts on family vacations, I’m going to […]
Right On Target
It started with the lamp. The Captain and I have matching bedside lamps; or rather, we HAD matching lamps, until yesterday. #6 -who shall henceforth be dubbed “Bam-Bam” for his penchant for grabbing and smashing stuff- managed to slip unnoticed into our bedroom after breakfast. Three minutes later, our once intact lamp was transformed into […]
A Royal Affair
Yes, my summer has consisted of roughly 99.7% kid-supporting efforts. But every rare once in awhile, I DO get the chance to escape the confines of the madhouse. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKcYGOIJhqo Recently, however, I got the chance to do something that I’ve pretty much dreamed of since about ninth grade. In a word: IN CONCERT. Yup, confession: […]
Open The Floodgates…
Sometimes, the noise level in the house detracts from being able to string together words into sentences that create posts. Today, it’s not so much the noise level INSIDE the house, but OUTSIDE of it that’s distracting. To be specific, it’s really the noise ON TOP of the house. I’ll explain. It’s obviously been a […]
Go 4th
Happy 4th of July, everyone!!* *Wet firecrackers fizzle into puddle in the pouring rain.* This year’s 4th of July was a rather damp one, but was initially very disappointing for my crew. The reason for the angst was that the rain meant a cancellation of the massive, festive and patriotic yearly extravaganza, a.k.a., “Aunt L’s […]
Final Thoughts
For a lot of us, this morning was a typical summer Friday morning; sun streaming through the windows as breakfast was served, and plans made to spend time outdoors, enjoying the free time and great weather. For one family, though, today is a day like no other. It’s a day that unfortunately will be remembered […]
A Great Catch
I had planned to tell you all about #1’s graduation from elementary school this past Friday- a lighthearted yet poignant anecdote to share with you just how quickly time has flown. I’ll still tell you about it, but forgive me if this post lacks the usual humor. I’m not feeling it. (I’ll explain.) I will […]
All The Small Things
By no means should I be sitting here writing this post. There is a plethora- (anyone over 30 thinks of the same thing when they hear this word…) -of things to be done. And while I should be doing them, I’ve hit the wall. I’m toast, peeps. I could give you the million and one […]
