Lather, Rinse, Repeat… (Again, and Again, and Again…)

So, we had our first public restroom potty session with Avery…  Twice.  The child won’t go near a freakin’ potty at home, but go out in public and what happens…  She’s never done that before.  Or since.  THANK GOD.  It was Friday night at dinner.  I’m still thinking about it.  It was frightening.  Truly frightening.  I layered [...]

Just Sayin’….

If you come to my door during the day, and I’m here alone, or with my children, and I don’t know you (and you aren’t UPS with my wine shipment,) I’m probably NOT going to open up my door for you.  Sorry.  And, if you act all shitty about it, you better believe I’m going [...]

Saturday Adventures

WARNING! PICTURE OVERLOAD!
We took off yesterday and headed to the zoo. Avery had a blast. We all did! It poured rain on us most of the day, but that cooled it off and thinned the crowd out. The zoo still made a fortune in ponchos, though.
The lion that came right up to the glass…

The gorilla [...]

Women’s Dynamics and World Domination

Tonight is bunko, or drunko as the Mister likes to call it…  It’s really just an excuse for some of us girls to get together and eat and drink and laugh and say fuck a lot…  It’s a dice game that takes no skill whatsoever.  And the more you drink, the funner it is.  You also have a chance [...]

Operation Princess Underwear, Take Two

Yeah…  That lasted 37 minutes.  I found her running around naked, demanding a pullup.  Any suggestions?
Edited to add:  We tried again…  We had this big throwing the yucky pullups in the trash ceremony and danced and had a treat…  She was totally psyched about wearing her big girl panties.  We cleaned up four puddles of pee [...]

Boring Assssss

I’m boring as shit today…  I got nada…  I’ll try to come back and post something interesting at some point…  It’s gorgeous out and the kids are running on no nap.  This morning should have clued me in on how busy I would be today, and busy does not necessarily mean productive. 
Please do come again…

Successful Day!

I got up, made coffee, fed the baby, straightened up, dressed the baby, dressed myself (with makeup,) made Avery’s lunch, got her up and dressed and ready for school, got her to dropoff (that’s a major accomplishment these days!,) did my Target shopping AND am back home by 10am!  Wow.  Today is going to a [...]

A Little Addiction Problem

This is how she came in from her nap… Princess tiara, princess shoes, hideous princess pajama top and some of her little princess dolls in hand. We have also watched Enchanted six times since she got it Sunday.  Think she has a problem? Is it possible to o.d. on princess? Is there a methadone for [...]

Happy? or Sad?

Baby Henry is beginning to crawl…  I can’t decide if I should be excited or if I should push him down.  It’s bittersweet.  He’s possibly my very last one and I want to cherish these little baby days while I can.  But, crawling is a very exciting thing…  It also means that we have to [...]
