  • How to raise a teenager…hold on sir…you are only eight!

    The last week or so has been interesting. My oldest turned eight years old. He no longer has the adorable infant, toddler, or even preschool character traits. He is growing up into a handsome young man. Awkwardly handsome as his teeth have been falling out left and right…but a good lookin’ kid. I remember when…

  • Do you want me to be happy?

    Aaron: “Mama…do you want me to be happy?” Me: “Yes.” Aaron: “Well…you’re not letting me play ABCya! and that doesn’t make me happy! WWWWAAAAHHHHH!!! He throws himself on the bed with his face slammed into the pillow. Being four years old is such a struggle.

  • My Big Thumb Toe

  • You Gots That Kinda Money?!?!?

    Drive-thru speaker: “ok ma’am your total is $14.34. (yelling out from the back seat) Isaiah: “You gots that kind of money?” Too early for me to even attempt to reply… I pull up to the first window and hand the cashier my debit card. (Whispering to his little brother in the back) Isaiah: “If she…

  • I don’t want to brush my teeth!

    I don’t want to brush my teeth! He decided to come out when he realized the bathroom sink doesn’t stop by Dunkin Donuts on the way to school. Fresh breath and super late. It’s Friday.

  • Random Cheese

    Around my house you will always find evidence of the children. You can pretty much trace their steps. Dirty Ninjago underwear, empty goldfish bags and deadly sharp toys galore. It’s the weird stuff that I find that really trips me out. The other day I walked into their bedroom to find Batman was being held…
