Pretty scary stuff, since this accident happened just down the road from us. We live just outside village limits and this bus goes the opposite direction on the same road. Fortunately, there were only 5 minor injuries, like bumps and bruises. I didn’t even know about it until I was at dinner and overheard some […]
It’s only Wednesday and I am ready for the weekend, which is probably NOT a good sign, huh?! I blame it mostly upon the juvenile delinquents that live in our neighborhood and a sexist pig in the form of our Slum Lord. It all began Thursday afternoon after school. I was in the back of […]
I love my guys, I really do. But sometimes they can be disgusting little creatures. :-& The current man child that is revolting me, even hours later, is Ty. At 6, almost 7 years old, he has reached extraordinarily high levels of grossness. The child, while brilliant in other areas, has absolutely no understanding of […]
Where does the time go? Donovan decided on a college last night. He is a future University at Albany – SUNY alumni! That is the same college I went to as a freshman and 1 semester as a sophmore before I went into the Army. He also got accepted into the Honors College, which sounds like something […]
Clearly I wronged someone in a past life and my sins have come back to bite me in the ass in the form of boy children. Sometimes I wonder if I have gone so far around the bend of insanity that I am actually speaking in tongues and don’t realize. That would explain the inability […]
Sometimes mothering boys is a lot like running an obstacle course. You just never know what they are going to throw in your way.

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 […]
