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 loud, but I think it’s more because there is considerably less of a chance of annoying a sibling from way up there, so hey, why stay up there when you can be right down in the thick of things?? Anyway, I was in the basement folding laundry, because every day I am down in the…

Happy Halloweenies!
S0, Halloween- you either knowit because you were dragged out of your comfy chair by overly-eager screaming children to hit the streets, or you don’t; in which case, you were dragged out of your comfy chair by overly-eager screaming children that kept ringing your bell and demanding sweets…. Of course I’d blog about Halloween. I’m a mom; we love this stuff. I’m not a huge fan of Halloween in terms of the creepy decorations and such, but I do love the dress-up factor. And the candy.

This past week, #s 5 and 6 were sick with terrible colds. There’s nothing worse than a wee baby hacking away, cold and miserable. Unless you’re the mom hacking away, cold…

Baby, It’s Cold Outside!
It’s fall. And before I rant about it, I’ll admit that I do love a few (very few) things about this season. I enjoy the burnished gold color of the leaves. I get a kick out of Halloween costumes. Pumpkins are cute. I loved the crispness of the air right around 4pm, which brings back fond memories of playing field hockey back in high school. I adore a good pair of skinny jeans with tall boots. That being said… Fall still sucks. There. I said it. Hating me yet? First of all… allergies. In a cruel twist of fate, I am allergic to basically the entire world around me. Literally. Trees. Grass. Dust.…
