Skeeting

Randy got to redeem his birthday present yesterday.  His birthday was over 2 months ago, but he never seems to want something easily attainable, like containers or something.  No, he wanted to go skiing (or as Micah calls it, skeeting).
Back in high school we used to go skiing together.  Not a lot, but enough to [...]

Stuck Between a DVD and a Mother-In-Law

This is the blog post I have been putting off and putting off for a long time now.  Randy bothers me about it almost weekly, but I have been able to avoid doing anything about it until now. 
Then it happened.  Last night, as we were getting ready for bed, it became obvious that I [...]

One More Thing

OK, I just finished my last post, and that's normally all I can do for like weeks, but I HAVE to tell you this!
Randy presented a dictionary to himself.  I'm totally serious. 
I just looked something up in our Big Fat Red Dictionary when I spotted some writing on the front page as I closed it.  I looked [...]

Fun with Adjectives

So the other day Micah says,
Oh, wait I cannot tell you what he said yet because it requires a little bit of background info that you may or may not want to know.  The brief version is that Randy and I call each other "Taters" and Micah knows this and sometimes tries to summon us [...]

Amusing myself at 5AM

I can't sleep.  So I will type things.  Maybe if I type really fast, I'll get tired.  Or maybe if I type really slowly, I'll get bored.  Either way, maybe I'll get some sleep soon.  I've been up since 2:53.  That's when Serena woke up to eat.  She went back to sleep just fine, thankfully.  [...]

The Baggy Sleeves Strike Again

You know how sometimes you read little tips on how to beef up security around your home?  Like not putting the giant box that held your Plasma TV out on the curb for all to see?  (I don't think we thought much about that when we disposed of our TV's packaging; it was about the [...]

I Served my Sticky Family Mr. Ken’s Scary Potty

Hi!
I used to vacuum mostly because I didn't like to look at various lint particles, hairs, crumbs and debris-that-should-be-outside-the-house-but-somehow-got-inside sitting all over our darkish blue rug (not our choice of color, though it looks nice without the above-mentioned decorations upon it).  After a few days of noticing that, even if I leave the room for [...]

When I’m a Stay At Home Mom…

Hi everyone (makes it sound like I have a huge fan club, doesn't it??)
I have missed blogging!  (I have also missed sleeping, but some things are more easily fixed).  As always, I have a few random thoughts fluttering about inside myself of what I should say in this post, but no formal plan, so we [...]

What would I ever do without hormones?

OK, so Serena is 4 1/2 weeks old now, and is currently napping (though if this doesn't end up getting posted until she is in kindergarten, you will know that she woke up before I finished writing it).  Micah is napping (or at least confined to his bed in a state of contentment) now too, [...]

The things we do for our children…

OK, so Micah is starting to develop some interesting fears. His latest is of automatic flush toilets. I can’t say that I blame him too much either on this one, because they are actually REALLY annoying! They flush 8 times while you’re sitting on them, and then when you’re done they won’t [...]
