I hear it’s national twins day. We have some of the identical kind. I remember being told we were in for an amazing ride as parents of twins. That was an understatement. One of my favorite pictures of the nursery rhyme parade and one kid is a little more excited than the other. So […]
Summer Vacation Should be Two Months, NOT Three. Proof is in these quotes…
I say every year summer vacation should be two months long because my kids turn into pumpkin heads the third month. Give me a few extra breaks in the school year. I am certain my kids would be smarter and I would be less crazy come September. Here are things I have heard this week […]

Another Animal, Temporarily
Guess who went to Walmart at 10:30pm to get kitten formula? For a Gor a baby bunny we found abandoned at our barn-house. I actually said today I would never bottle feed anything again. Remember I bottle fed two rescue kittens a few months ago around the clock. The drive to not watch my […]

Me, “You are too young for us to go white water rafting in Yosemite.” Ten year-old, “You need to get me a fake birth certificate so I can do things I want to do. Make me thirteen.” Me, “But they will see you have no markings of puberty like armpit hair.” Ten year-old, “They will […]

Inherited Funny, or Crazy but Funny Either Way
Me screaming in the hall at the closed garage door a few minutes ago. “Drag the body to the top of the stairs and I will help pull him down! Keep him upright so you don’t get any more blood on the carpet! Hurry up! I think I hear people. Do you know where the […]

O Brother
There was much commentary when my husband and I saw this street sign today. All of it was done in the voices of “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” Characters saying things like, “We gots a Rainbow Street already but that don’t mean we can’t have a second Second Rainbow Street.” “Why, I believe you […]

Dirt and Boys
Stayed at our barn-house yesterday from about 1-9:30. We even had to get gas station pizza for dinner. This is primarily because there is no one that will deliver out to the middle of nowhere. We couldn’t even bring ourselves to leave. Beautiful day. Jim mowed. Kids rode dirt bikes and I unpacked some. […]

Don’t Listen, They Lie
This is something I wrote to someone else today when a friend had a bit of a public meltdown. I switched it around a little but I think more people need to hear it because so many people are fighting their own battles from anxiety, depression or family crisis. I know when I feel […]

Worry and Worry Junior Have a Talk
We worry. That’s what parents do. You can have a child who has “a worry.” I do. I have to pretend to not worry because I tell him everything is ok…all day long. Then I began to worry that he got the worry from me. Then I remind him, and myself, that our “worry” really means […]

No Denying This, Son
“No denying this son. There is only one rear end in this house that only takes up 25% of the copy machine glass. You need a Clorox wipe so I can fax again. I don’t care if I gave you the idea when you said you needed a picture of your lizard for school. Well […]

Probably Not Your Grandmother’s Advice on Family
She may not have wanted the burden of a family once she had it but she took care of us all. The family she ended up with was her cross to bear. There is a restlessness in some of us, like my mom, that my grandmother recognized. She never could figure out how to “mother” that.
