The hammer dropped on Big Brother a few weeks ago. And by “the hammer”, I mean, “family dinner.” Husband and I recently decided that enough was enough with the finicky “I only eat orange mac & cheese, hot dogs and chicken nuggets” attitude. It was time for the kids to eat what we eat. When [...]

“Sometimes I Feel Like, Somebody’s Watching Me”

Husband wears contacts. He takes them out when he gets home from work. So, if no one’s used the toilet in our master bedroom, I’ll go in before bed and see this. Which, I think, may as well look like this. What are you looking at, little man? But, maybe that’s just me.

The Dreaded Callback
Posted in Uncategorized on August 11, 2011 | 12 Comments »
Monday, August 8. Possibly the day on which my life changed forever. The day I got a callback on my annual mammogram. They say they see something a little “off” in the scan of my right breast. They want me to come back in for a re-scan where they can have a radiologist read it over with me. [...]
Sometimes.

I’m sorry. Not for the act, certainly. I’d do it again tomorrow. But for the result. I didn’t cast the first stone. But, I certainly cast the final one. And, I miss them. Sometimes.
Summer Sabbatical

I know, I know. I’ve been absent. For kind of a long time. And, I bailed shortly after I had a post featured on Freshly Pressed and then on Fans of Being a Mom. I had a bunch of interested readers sign up to follow me on Facebook and even more subscribe to receive my [...]
I’m the “Worst Mommy in the Whole Wide World!”
Posted in Uncategorized on July 7, 2011 | 8 Comments »
Big Brother called me the worst mommy in the whole wide world yesterday. I might have taken it personally had it not occurred while I was standing in line at the ice cream truck. With BB and approximately 900 of his closest friends. Money in hand. Trying to negotiate complex mathematics in order to determine [...]

I never mentioned in my blog that I had a professional photo session done of my boys this spring. I never mentioned it because I’m paranoid and pretty convinced that if I ever post pictures of them here, you (well, not YOU, of course) will come and try to steal them away from me (my boys [...]
“The Last of the Firsts”
Posted in Uncategorized on June 3, 2011 | 11 Comments »
About two weeks ago, Big Brother discovered he had a wiggly tooth. The last of all his best buddies to lose a tooth, BB was thrilled to say the least and spent the better part of the next fourteen days with his finger in his mouth. Wiggling, wiggling, wiggling… I should preface the rest of this [...]
Old Married Negotiations.
Posted in Uncategorized on May 30, 2011 | 6 Comments »
It’s midday Memorial Day and, from our bedroom as I unpack from our long weekend, I hear the distinct sound of plastic ware falling noisily to the kitchen floor. Husband sighs audibly, clearly irritated by the hassle of plastic ware clean-up as it disrupts his masterful creation of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for Big [...]
