We’re Here

Everyone is asleep but me. I’m sitting in our new house. It’s empty and hot upstairs. But we made it to Ohio safe and sound.
This move has been hard on the kids. Joshua is especially emotional, and Dwight…well, he’s just annoying as hell. Sorry, I’m trying to be positive here, [...]

Loading Up

The movers just about have everything loaded up. Whew! Thank God I’m not doing the packing and loading! This empty house makes me sad. So many wonderful memories.
But the kids’ laughter still echos through the house – maybe because Dad is rolling around the floor with each of them. Nothing like an empty living room [...]

Bitter Sweetness

Today was our last Sunday at our church. Scott and I have been really involved in our church and have become very close to many of the people there. So today we had to say goodbye, and we were overwhelmed with the love our “family” poured on us through prayers, cards, and a wonderful lunch [...]

Oh! That Part!

I asked Joshua to get Madison’s pacifier off the floor for me this evening when he said, “I need to wash it off first. The boob part was touching the floor!”
“The what part?”
“The BOOB part.”
“Did you just say, ‘The boob part?’” I asked.
“Yeah, you know, the part that goes in her mouth?”
Oh yes…the [...]

Yes, Alpha Dude,

You can take the credit, but otherwise, I don’t quite get why the dad is to blame! I mean, in most American homes, isn’t the mom still mostly responsible for feeding the kids? Don’t get me wrong, my honey helps out with that from time to time, (okay, he helps out a lot), [...]

It’s Dad’s Fault!

I just read the most interesting article stating that if your kid is overweight, you can blame it on Dad!
Mother’s Day just keeps getting better and better!
