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 […]
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. Late last week, the news hyped the latest big storm to wreak havoc on our area. Weren’t you battering down your hatches, & buying all of the bread & milk you could get your […]
Social Climber
So the holidays are over; Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and all that good stuff. Were the holidays good? Yes, they were, thank you very much. And I’m glad they’re over? You betcha. I’m tiirrred. But the holidays were great; kids were happy, I got lots of great pics to later prove to my kids […]
Go Elf Yourself
Sorry for the lengthy delay in posting, folks! No, I haven’t gone into hiding. Though sometimes, I’d like to. From my endless daily list of chores & responsibilities, that is. I blame the germs. Since Thanksgiving, we’ve had a series of child illness- mainly in the form of a never-ending cold that swept through the […]
Mamicure
Hard as nails…. I have found that that statement, when applied to fingernails (or mine, anyway) is untrue. My fingernails are not hard, if their frequent breakage is any indication. I am rarely able to maintain long, elegant nails because my poor stubby nails never get a chance to grow and flourish. I blame the […]

It Just Doesn’t Add Up
Yesterday was one of the first nights in awhile where only two of my older three kids had math homework. One of them didn’t, because she had a unit test in math. Thank God. Because after the previous night’s study session, I’m doubly appreciative of the break from math today. I don’t know if said child […]
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 […]
Can You Hear Me Now?
Last night’s post-dinnertime: a flurry of bathing, screaming, and the related tomfoolery were in effect. One child was soaking in the tub, lingering a little too long in her bath. A line was forming; we have two bathrooms, but the kids unanimously prefer the downstairs one. The claim is because the upstairs ceiling fan is too […]
