….if you come to my house, sit in the kitchen chair that has carefully been placed at the front door, and watch this freaking play that my kids have been putting on, over and over, for days now. They even roped in my nieces Olivia and Alaina yesterday. Here’s a brief synopsis: Gabby stands with her [...]  email this post...Category: Cameron, Culture, Family, Gabby, Gabby's Artwork, The "J" / Comments: Be the first... Gabby and her cousins are playing in the other room. Here are some things I’ve overheard and am choosing to ignore: ~ Gabby, don’t you think that will make your mom mad? Dave spent most of Tuesday evening scrupulously scrubbing out Billy Bubble’s fish tank. Gabby even gave me a handwritten invitation to come to her room and bask in the glory. And yesterday, just as I was ready to take the kabobs off the grill, Addie J dumped a new container of fish food into that gloriously [...] email this post...Category: Cameron, Dave, Family, Food, Gabby, Gabby's Artwork, The "J" / Comments: 1 comment so far... …of things Addie J has cut with scissors in the last few days: 1. Cameron’s soccer net in the back yard 2. The lace bottoms of her black leggings 3. The blinds on her bedroom window (Dave. Was. Livid.) 4. Any and every piece of paper in the house, including things like bills and my 501K statement 5. The silk tag from [...] email this post...Category: Dave, Family, Gabby's Artwork, Random Moments, The "J" / Comments: Be the first... Please notice how I'm ignoring the way Addie J is trying to escape. Dave and I had been out the night before Mother’s Day (disastrous. Don’t even ask about it), so I was really appreciative of Dave not letting the kids wake me up at 6am for my “delicious breakfast.” Gabby’s card read, “Happy Mother’s Day!

Look how excited Dave is, to be setting up a leprechaun trap once again this year. So, mainly because I started a foolish tradition back before I considered the sheer drudgery of doing this every year, the kids always make a leprechaun trap and leave it out the night before St. Patrick’s Day. (Also a [...] email this post...Category: Cameron, Culture, Dave, Family, Gabby, Gabby's Artwork, St. Patrick's Day, The "J" / Comments: Be the first... *This morning, Addie J said to me, “Mommy, I love you! You are my best friend!” I had barely 5 seconds to enjoy and revel in this before she went on, “And Abita is my bestest friend! I love you, Abita!” That’s right: I’m second to the dog. *Also this morning on my run, I could [...] email this post...Category: Abita (our dog), Dave, Family, Food, Gabby, Gabby's Artwork, St. Patrick's Day, The "J" / Comments: Be the first... So Gabby’s Irish Dance recital was Sunday. She was hilarious and awesome, which is her MO for life basically. You know how, when you’re watching a dance recital, one or two dancers will perform while the rest hold a pretty pose at the side? …Yeah. Gabby proved incapable of holding still during these [...] email this post...Category: Culture, Dining Out, Family, Food, Gabby, Gabby's Artwork, St. Patrick's Day, The "J" / Comments: Be the first... So tomorrow is my birthday. This is why I’ll be found at the bar down the street at about 11pm tonight, weeping into a Jager bomb celebrating with my friends. And earlier today, the kids gave me birthday cards. Behold: ADDIE J: [She did also create one of those drawings of a person with two misshapen crazy [...] email this post...Category: Birthday, Cameron, Family, Gabby, Gabby's Artwork, The "J" / Comments: 1 comment so far... I am still kind of recovering from our trip for a couple of reasons, not the least of which is that my hero sister, Jill, very thoughtfully waited until we returned to have her baby!!!! Lila Jillian was born last week weighing 8 pounds, 3 ounces and 20.5″ long. She looks exactly like the baby [...] email this post...Category: Cameron, Culture, Dave, Family, Gabby, Gabby's Artwork, Mardi Gras, The "J" / Comments: 1 comment so far... |
