The story opens with an early morning trip to an elementary school. The Multifaceted Mama has to be there at 0720 for back to back parent-teacher conferences for her sons, Scott and Ty. The meetings were set at this too early hour because the previous scheduled meetings had to be postponed due to a bout […]
Ty growled and growled at me this morning, earning himself the nickname of T-Rex Ty. Walking from the bedroom door to the laundry basked is about 12 feet and it tool him 5 stops to growl at me to get there. He growled throughout his shower, to the entertainment and enjoyment of the rest of […]
Early morning humor,… Note: Scott and one-liner comebacks don’t usually go together so points to him for that at 0530!! Mama: What’s wrong with you this morning, Scotty? Did you leave your sense of humor on your pillow? Scott: No, but I wish my head was on my pillow! Mama: Good one! Upon seeing Ty […]
Wife Telepathy delayed? Soldier Daddy usually has very good Wife Telepathy, but it thoroughly failed him last night. I got a panicked phone call from him last night, hours after his usual window of communication. He was absolutely convinced that something was wrong, that I really needed him to call. Not so. Not a thing […]
There are some things, as a mother, that remain over my head and dealing with morning wood is one of them. My little guy has recently discovered this phenomena and it is,… well,… awkward! Not having the same plumbing, I am woefully unequipped to deal with said problem! But it is hard NOT to notice, […]
Happy birthday, Ty-man! My baby is 6 years old today, although it definately doesn’t seem possible! I still remember the day I had him like it was yesterday. I was scheduled to be induced at 0600, so at 0530 I was at my girl Stacy’s front door with Scotty so he could stay with her […]
I am all about helping people out when they need it, but sometimes there is a fine line between helping out and being taken advantage of. And I think that line is being crossed. I have a neighbor who is notorious for taking advantage of good-hearted people when it comes to watching her kids. She […]
There once was a little-known super hero known as Donovan. He didn’t wear a cape, but a pair of slightly worn, slightly smell running shoes. One day, he was running with his posse through the streets of his village for cross-country practice. As they were running through the side streets, they came upon a car […]
Holy hell! What a day! Let’s see,… we left for the cleft clinic at 0630, after having drugged the Ty-man with the doctor-recommended Benedryl, an attempt at not having a puke fest the entire way! It was successful, as he was asleep about 20 minutes into the 2-hour drive!! I think he finally woke up […]
Road trip! So Ty and I are taking a little road trip tomorrow! We are leaving at 0630, so let’s hope Donovan manages to get everyone on the bus at 0700. They will all be up before we leave, so all should be well! Ty and I are headed to Syracuse to the Central New […]
