Monday morning came early today! Not that I didn’t expect it, but 0530 still came too early. But that could be because I got no sleep last night. Literally, no sleep. So, upon ridding the house of children, I stumbled back to my big warm bed and collapsed within it. Of course, it took me […]
And I could give a rat’s ass! Last night, it was Donovan that hated me, but he got over it,… for the moment. Today it is the younger three, and I would love to tell you that I feel bad about it, but it would be a lie. There is not a single tear straining […]
Valentine’s Blues Since The Husband is in Afghanistan, I am feeling sort of anti-Valentine’s today, but that’s normal, I suppose! I have to pick up Donovan from play practice in a little bit and go rent some chick flicks, my one nod to Valentine’s! :heart: The neverending battle with children. I swear that it is […]
There are days when I just want to pull my hair out by the roots and call it a day. Today is one of those days, and if I hadn’t just laid down some $$ for a spiffy new hair cut, I probably would be doing just that. I read these mom blogs sometimes that are […]
GI Joe Corey Updates So, the man has been on the move, spending a day right back where he started at his first place of duty once hitting Afghanistan! It is like a virus, that place. Much like Fort Drum, once you are there, it is next to impossible to escape! But the up side […]
What the hell was he THINKING? This is what I was asking myself yesterday morning when Scott’s principal called. Apparently my usually well-behaved son has been a minion of Satan on the bus. Donovan rides the bus in the mornings, except for Wednesdays, and he hasn’t seen a thing, so I am guessing he usually […]
And I think I am losing,…! Being a mother of 4 boys ain’t all sunshine and flowers. :deadrose: There really should be some kind of hazardous duty pay associated with motherhood. Because I deserve it. They are hazardous to my mental health. Sometimes I read “mom” blogs and occasionally run across one that makes me […]
Snow Blues I think the snow hates me. :-( Or the school district. Or both. Or I just get up too damn early. It is a toss up. Today is Thursday and Thursday is garbage day. Our apartment complex has strict rules about garbage. There are times when I think you really need to have […]
If there was ever a morning when the Mama could have used some extra sleep, it was this morning! Corey called me at about 0415 to tell me he was finally boarding the plane for Afghanistan and it was impossible to fall asleep again,… until it was almost time for the alarm to go off […]
I have no idea who or what Ty was channeling last night, but he was a little demon last night. Holy S*&T! Dinner set him off, since he seems to be morally opposed to eating anything for dinner other than bean and cheese burritos. I love a good burrito, but damn, child, branch out. I […]
