Awhile back, I mentioned that I was gearing up for a fight with the online charter school that we use because Wyatt is technically 13 days to young to start kindergarten next year. You see, when the federal government pays your bills, an arbitrary date on the calendar becomes the most important factor in determining [...]

I’m a Celebrity—Screw Your Suffering!
People, I’m feeling a little bitter. Of course, I suppose that’s what I get for putting my faith in a Baldwin brother.
Huh???
OK, if you haven’t heard of or seen I’m a Celebrity—Get Me Out of Here! you probably have no clue what I am talking about. Basically, a bunch of B-list celebrities are currently in [...]

Week 34—The Weather Report
At this point, it has basically been a whole month since I have done any kind of pregnancy update. Mostly, this is because I’ve never felt like doing a picture. I actually tried to do one last week, but they all turned out awful. And you aren’t getting one today—after working in the garden in [...]

Updates on Life
Would anyone care to explain to me why, if ear infections are not contagious, HALF of my family is currently dealing with them? Sean has been trying to ignore his away since last week. Eli has been on antibiotics for the one I didn’t know he had for a week now. And when I took [...]

That About Sums it Up
Yesterday, in the hallway at church, I stood talking to a friend who is also pregnant and due the same time I am.
“It’s horrible,” she told me, “but all I feel like doing is laying on the couch.”
“Believe me, I totally understand,” I answered. “I’m having a hard time keeping up with everything. My family’s [...]

Treats and Tweets
Yesterday, I earned superhero status with my kids.
Now that I am involved in the Cub Scouts, I am learning all of these cool things to do with little boys. Because, goodness knows, I’m no good at coming up with this stuff on my own. Anyhow, after having a successful activity with my Wolf Den [...]

Why Do the Criminals Get All of the Rights?

In case you are wondering, that is what happens when you bang your head against the keyboard.
So, when I wrote about the Lying Jerk Face (heretofore known as LJF) who backed into me yesterday, there are a few things that I left out. I did it on purpose, because I wanted to confirm [...]

Sometimes, I Hate People
Or…
Is it Wrong to Hope He’ll Rot in Hell? Because This Life Sure Isn’t Fair.
First, let me start by saying that yesterday was a completely lovely day. I even got a nap. And I had wanted to write a positive blog post today to balance out my last one. Obviously, that’s not happening.
Sigh.
In an effort [...]

Click
A couple of years ago, Sean and I watched the Adam Sandler movie, Click. While I am generally not a fan of Adam Sandler, I was intrigued by the concept behind the story. A man is given a remote control that allows him to fast-forward through parts of his life. He starts using it to [...]

I Don’t Remember My Parents Going Through Stuff Like This
Yesterday, I had four happy, healthy little boys who spent the morning vigorously cleaning their toy room with their great-grandmother and playing with their visiting cousins all afternoon. I had a fifteen-month-old who was laughing and playing and hugging and kissing and being totally normal.
Until bedtime.
That’s when Eli started crying for no immediately noticeable reason. [...]
