Comfort Rub
I just got a call from the principal. Apparently my 7 year old was brought into the principal’s office from recess. Why? Well gee, I’m so glad you asked.
Was she picked on?
No.
Was she beating up some other kid?
No.
Was she hurt?
No.
So do share Kym, […]

Update
Interesting update on the comfort rubbing. Apparently it was all pretty innocent. What is really getting my feather’s ruffled though is that the recess teacher (who is new or a sub) didn’t believe my girls when they told her they were sisters. Why? Because they don’t […]

Last night was hell
I slept so bad last night. I didn’t realize it in the middle of the night, but I had a migraine. When I get migraines, I am down for the count. The world spins, my head hurts, I can’t see, I get sick to my stomach. Not […]

Real convenient that is.
I just bought a new Prelit Christmas Tree. It’s prelit with over 2000 clear lights, 9 foot, and has a hinged construction for quick setup (and easy clean up after the holidays). I bought the Swiss Alpine. It was between that and the Barrington Fir… but […]

Motivation
I just joined Blog Explosion. So that means I need to be more interesting. I thought about writing a few posts about how I’m falling in lust with my neighbor and I keep hoping for a lesbian encounter. But I don’t think I am motivated enough to be […]

Incredible Repercussions
So I’m sitting here staring at the screen wondering what to write about when I hear a scream from our playroom.
Noah our four-year-old-wonder-kid then yells “I’m sorry”
The tone of the sorry was authentic. And put up my “mommy radar” more then the scream did.
I go in and see 6 year old Dinara curled […]

Always Wanting New & Improved
Ok before you new people who are visiting my site think I’m some sort of freak, understand that I had plastic surgery because I lost 160 lbs. I had “issues” that needed to be resolved with plastics. It wasn’t vanity - it was reconstructive. For some reason it’s important […]

Chore Capitalism
Emma is angry with her brother. Why? Because he’s doing her chores.

One Smart Momma
Dinara: (in Kindergarten) Mom this boy keeps chasing me on the playground. He comes up and pushes me. I yell at him to stop but he doesn’t listen. Why does he keep doing this?
Me: (37 year old mom to three) He probably likes you and doesn’t know how […]

Shining a Light on my Life
Someone who reads my blog told me that I need to shine a light on more of what I do in my day to day life. But I really don’t like to write about the non-funny day to day stuff of my life. I mean, after all, I’m living all […]

Not Enough Answers
Is it just me or do other parents get weary of the questions? My 4 year old son asks questions sometimes instead of conversing. Questions are his method of conversing and man it’s tiring. I do really well until about 4pm. Then I’m all questioned out.
Here’s an example of […]

Vacation Memories
Going through vacation photos to figure out what to develop for prosperity… and there are some nice pictures, some pictures that invoke memories, and some pictures that make me laugh and maybe are best left in the recycle bin. You be the judge (and jury!).

Barf-O-Rama
It’s 11:20pm and I just cleaned up Dinara after she barfed all over herself while sleeping. At 8pm, when she told me her tummy hurt, I was hoping for something psychosomatic since her sister barfed at 7pm. You know… that whole “sympathy barf” thing that happens to all of us when […]
