We took the kids miniature golfing this evening– or more accurately, we took the kids “Whack a Golf Ball Repeatedly Into the Stream and Take Turns Realizing You Need to Poop”-ing this evening. On the way home, Gabby asked me if there was such a thing as mini golf when I was a kid. […]

….is to never again run a 5K in 90-degree heat and 600% humidity.
Even if there IS a beer tent afterwards.
Actually, ESPECIALLY if there is a beer tent afterwards.
And on a possibly related note: if anyone at the beer tent found $80 in cash on the ground, that was mine. I […]

Gabby came running into the house the other day. I was on the phone, so she waited, visibly vibrating with excitement. When I got off she said, “MOM!!! MOM!!! Can I have some ice cream from the ice cream truck?!?!!?!”
“Not today,” I said, mentally cursing the ice cream truck and the lure of […]

We all know that Addie J is prone to dressing herself up in random outfits. But she’s added the extra-special step of walking up to me, striking a pose, cocking her head, and crooning, “Stylish!!!!!”

Oh my God, I’m in a rage all over again from just rereading one of these archived posts about trying to get a cup of coffee. I’ve added some new archives here, and fair warning: there’s an involved discussion of breast pumps contained therein.
In other news: I have this giant ENORMOUS bug […]

It’s displayed on the home page and normally lists phrases like “family jules” or “family jewels” or, strangely often, “Richard Simmons.” Today, however, someone found my site after searching the phrase, […]

The following is an original joke by Addie J. She told it to my mom, who promptly told me, and I was dying laughing.
ADDIE: Grandma, knock knock. MOM: Who’s there? ADDIE: Knock knock. MOM: Who’s there? ADDIE: Knock knock. MOM: …..Who’s there? ADDIE: Knock knock. MOM: Who’s there? ADDIE: Knock knock.
[repeat many […]

So I made some soup and paninis yesterday for dinner. The kids like paninis AND I’ve made this soup before to great acclaim, so I figured they’d all be thrilled and I’d rake in the accolades. Here’s how they each avoided eating their dinner, and if you factor in their respective ages, you can […]

The week of Addie J’s actual birthday, as it turned out, was extremely stressful, busy, and filled with unexpected, major events (I’ve adopted the terminology of a friend who calls that “vital.” That week was very, very vital). My extended family and I took her out to dinner on her actual birthday and gave […]

I’ve added a few more archives, including a party and the time Cameron did my hair. Speaking of parties: I’ve rented a Dora the Explorer jumpy for Sunday so I am officially the coolest mom on the freaking PLANET.
Enjoy!!!!!
