The Get Away (Spring Break ‘08)

So after the craziest week of UTI’s and lots of puking, (oh, and did I mention the allergic reaction to the antiobiotics prescribed to me for my UTI?  My skin around my mouth turned red and started peeling.  It was fun!).  Anyway, after the craziness, we ended up leaving Sunday evening.  It felt so good [...]

Planning The Sweet Escape…

I always wondered why families did it.  Why do moms take their sick kids out when they should be at home recovering?  Shouldn’t they let them recover in the comfort of their own home? 
Well, now I know.  Two months of near-constant sickness and now I get why sometimes you just have to push through it.  [...]

Here’s Those Snow Storm Pics

I found my camera cord! 

I wonder how it got it there?  Little Miss Madison decided she found a new secret hiding place to stash away all her goodies.  That interesting little pocket in Daddy’s chair when it is reclined is perfect for hiding camera cords, Little People, and pacifiers!  Of course, there’s always room behind the [...]

A Taco Bell Experience

I didn’t feel like trying to figure out something for lunch today, so I decided after picking up Kelly from preschool, that I would run through the drive thru at Taco Bell.

Wow, what [...]

My son hasn’t blogged in a while, but Scott checked out his blog the other night and decided to leave him a comment on his latest post.  Dwight hasn’t even read it yet.  I guess he’s decided he’s done blogging (already?!?)  Perhaps this new comment will motivate him to write more, now that he is getting [...]

From Weather.com:

March Snow Storm Can Bring An Attitude of Thankfulness

Scott made it home today from the airport.  Only he didn’t pull up in the minivan he originally drove to the airport.  Instead, I watched another woman pull out of our driveway as he made his way up to the house. 
This woman gave my husband a ride home, because about a mile and a half from [...]

Condemned to Hell by Claritin

I am about to reveal to you that I, Melissa the blogging mom of 5 children (& 1 on the way), am a terrible mother.  Tonight I goofed…I said something I shouldn’t have said and I’m still kicking myself for it.  This is what I get for getting onto Dwight for being careless with his words!
But really now…let [...]
